AKENG44_Escalade Page 188 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Seats and Restraints The lap/shoulder belt should be worn as shown above. CAUTION Wear your belt fitted closely against the body. Do not wear your shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back. Make sure the belt is not twisted across your body, and never secure a safety belt over an armrest (if equipped). When using a safety belt, sit up straight and keep your feet on the floor in front of you. 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 shoulder belt should not cross the face or neck. 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 to your abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. . . . 188

AKENG44_Escalade Page 189 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Section 2 Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster CAUTION Maladjustment of the safety belt height could reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt in a crash. A A Your vehicle is equipped with shoulder belt height adjusters. This adjusts the height of the front shoulder belt. You should adjust it so the belt is centered on your shoulder and away from your face and neck. To move the height adjuster down, squeeze the release buttons and slide the adjuster down to the proper height. To move the height adjuster up, just push up on the shoulder belt guide. To make sure it is locked in place, try to move the height adjuster down without squeezing the release buttons. Shoulder Belt Comfort Guides Your vehicle is equipped with rear shoulder belt guides which provide comfort and support for some adults and children who have outgrown booster seats. These guides work by pulling the regular belt away from the neck and head. There is one guide for each of the rear outside passenger positions. – – 189 . . .
