Rear Seat Passenger PositionsLap-Shoulder BeltAll three rear seating positions have lap-shoulder belts.Here’s how to wear one properly.1. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.Don’t let it get twisted.The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt acrossyou very quickly. If this happens, let the belt go backslightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across youmore slowly.2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.1-34
When the shoulder belt is pulled out all the way, itwill lock. If it does, let it go back all the way andstart again. Make sure the release button on thebuckle is positioned so you would be able tounbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.3. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckleend of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder part.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 less likelyto slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the beltwould apply force at your abdomen. This could causeserious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt shouldgo over the shoulder and across the chest. These partsof the body are best able to take belt restraining forces.The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden stop or a crash,or if you pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.1-35
