Shoulder Belt Height AdjusterBefore you begin to drive, move the shoulder beltadjuster to the height that is right for you.The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug onthe hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this appliesforce to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be lesslikely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it,the belt would apply force at your abdomen. This couldcause serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder beltshould go over the shoulder and across the chest.These parts of the body are best able to take beltrestraining forces.The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden stop or crash, orif you pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.1-20To move it down, press down on the arrow symbol andmove the height adjuster to the desired position. You canmove the adjuster up just by pushing up on the bottomof the height adjuster. After you move the adjuster towhere you want it, try to move it down without pushingin to make sure it has locked into position.Adjust the height so that the shoulder portion of the beltis centered on your shoulder. The belt should be away fromyour face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder.
