CAUTION
!
Always make sure the shoulder belt
is positioned across the center of
your shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from your neck, but not
falling off your shoulder. Failure to
do so could reduce the amount of
protection in an accident and cause
severe injures in a collision.
Adjust the position of the lap and
shoulder belts
Position the lap belt as low as possible on
your hips—not your waist, then adjust it to
a snug fit by pulling the shoulder portion
upward through the latch plate.
CAUTION
!
High-positioned lap belts and
loose-fitting belts both could
cause severe injuries due to slid-
ing under the lap belt during a colli-
sion. Keep the lap belt positioned
as low on hips as possible.
For your safety, do not place the
shoulder belt under your arm.
