The lap belt should be worn
as
low
on the hips as
possible.
In
a crash, this applies force to the strong
pelvic bones. And you’d 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’s a sudden stop or
a
crash.
It’s possible that an automatic belt could keep you from
fully
opening
a
door. That can happen
if
the door was
slammed shut very hard. Just close the door ail the way,
then slowly open
it.
If
that doesn’t
fix
it,
then
your
Buick needs service.
We
hope you’ll always keep your automatic belt
buckled. However, you may need to unbuckle it
in
an
emergency. And
you
would need
to
unbuckle it to
let
someone get into the center front seat position,
if
your
vehicle has one.
To
unbuckle the automatic belt, just
push the button on the buckle.
