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 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.
On convertible models, the safety belt also locks
if
you
pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.

A
CAUTION:
You can be seriously hurt
if
your shoulder belt
is
too loose. In a crash,
you
would move forward
too much, which could increase injury. The
shoulder
belt
should
fit
against your body.
