Q:

What is wrong with this?

A:

The belt is twisted across the body.

{

CAUTION:

You can be seriously injured by a twisted belt.
In a crash, you would not have the full width of
the belt to spread impact forces. If a belt is
twisted, make it straight so it can work
properly, or ask your dealer to fix it.
