Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt is not long enough, see

Safety Belt

Extender on page 1-30

.

Make sure the release button on the buckle is
positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.

5. Move the shoulder belt height adjuster to the height

that is right for you. See

Shoulder Belt Height

Adjustment on page 1-22

.

6. To make the lap part tight, pull up on the

shoulder belt.

The lap part of the belt should be worn 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 at your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go
over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of
the body are best able to take belt restraining forces.

The safety belt locks if there is a sudden stop or crash,
or if you pull the safety belt very quickly out of the
retractor.
