Seats and Restraints

It is very important for all occupants
to buckle up. Statistics show that
unbelted people are hurt more often
in crashes than those who are
wearing safety belts.

There are important things to know
about wearing a safety belt properly.

.

Sit up straight and always keep
your feet on the floor in front
of you.

.

Always use the correct buckle
for your seating position.

.

Wear the lap part of the belt low
and snug on the hips, just
touching the thighs. In a crash,
this applies force to the strong

pelvic bones and you would be
less likely to slide under the lap
belt. If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force on your
abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries.

.

Wear the shoulder belt over the
shoulder and across the chest.
These parts of the body are best
able to take belt restraining
forces. The shoulder belt locks if
there is a sudden stop or crash.

{

Warning

You can be seriously injured,
or even killed, by not wearing
your safety belt properly.

.

Never allow the lap or
shoulder belt to become
loose or twisted.

.

Never wear the shoulder
belt under both arms or
behind your back.

.

Never route the lap or
shoulder belt over an
armrest.
