Rear
Seat Passengers
It’s very important
for
rear seat passengers
to
buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear
seat
are hurt more often in crashes than
those
who are
wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown
out of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.
I
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The rear seats 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.
On
convertible models, the shoulder belt may lock if
you pull
the
belt across
you
very quickly. If this
happens, let the belt go back slightly to unlock it.
Then pull the belt across
you
more slowly.
2.
Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
