We’ll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
Most accidents occur within
25
miles
(40
km)
of
home. And the greatest number of serious injuries
and deaths occur at speeds of less than
40
mph
(65
km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
How
to Wear Safety Belts Properly
Adults
This part
is
only for people of adult size.
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. The shoulder portion
of the belt has an energy management loop. It is
designed to open and help protect you in certain crashes.
If it opens, you will see a label on the safety belt that
says to replace the belt. Be sure to do
so.
If you don’t,
the safety belt won’t work properly and won’t protect
you in another crash. For more information on replacing
safety belts after a crash, see “Replacing Safety Belts” in
the Index.
Here’s how to wear the lap-shoulder belt properly.
Be aware that there are special things
to
know about safety
belts and children.
And
there are different rules for smaller
children and babies.
If
a child will be riding in
your
vehicle, see the part
of
this
manual called “Children.”
Follow those rules for everyone’s protection.
1.
Close and lock the door.
2.
Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index)
so
you can sit up straight.
