Wearing a Lap/Shoulder Belt
Before putting on a front seat belt, be sure your seat is adjusted forward
or backward to a good driving or riding position and the back of your seat
is upright (see page
29
).
1. Pull the latch plate across your body and insert it into the buckle. Tug
on the belt to make sure the latch is securely locked.
2. Check that the belt is not twisted.
3. Position the lap portion of the belt as low as possible across your
hips, not across your stomach. This lets your strong pelvic bones
take the force of a crash.
