Dodge 18681 Viper, Owner'S Manual

Page: 29 / 236

WARNING!
A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well. In
a sudden stop you could move too far forward,
increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat
belt snugly.
A belt that is worn under your arm is very danger-
ous. Your body could fall into the inside surfaces of
the vehicle in a collision, increasing head and neck
injury. And a belt worn under the arm can cause
internal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder
bones. Wear the belt over your shoulder so that your
strongest bones will take the force in a collision.
5. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your
abdomen. To remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up
a little on the shoulder belt, as shown.
6. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate
and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of
sliding under the belt in a collision.
