Chevrolet 1995 Automobile User Manual


 
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’d
be
less
likely to slide under the lap belt.
If
you
slid under it,
the
belt would apply force at your abdom’en. 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
crash.
Lap
Belt
Cinch
Feature
If
you
do
not
want the lap belt to move freely, push the
“cinch” button.
To
loosen the belt, unbuckle
it,
let it
retract, and buckle
up
again.
