Seating and Safety Restraints
Passenger Two-Point Seat Belt (Lap Belts)
To loosen the belt, slide the latch up the webbing as far as
necessary to make the belt go around the passenger's lap.
Insert the latch plate into the buckle until secure. To loosen, pull
up on the lap belt. Tighten the belt until it is snug by pulling on
the loose end of the belt. Push the release button on the buckle
to release the seat belt. Position the lap portion of the belt so
that the webbing is below the passenger's waist,, not over the
stomach or abdomen area. The lap portion of the belt must be
low and snug over the bony structure of the passenger's hips.
Passenger Three-Point Seat Belts (Optional)
Buckling Up
1. The passenger should sit as flat
against the seat back as possible
to achieve the best possible fit
of the lap-shoulder belt on the
passenger's upper and lower
torso.
2. Pull out the shoulder belt webbing
from the upper seat back.
Do
not let the belt get twisted. (The
shoulder belt may lock if pulled
across the body too quickly.
If
this happens, let the belt retract
slightly to unlock it. Then pull the
belt across you more slowly).
3. Place the lap-shoulder belt over
the shoulder and around the
passenger's upper body.
