portion is located as close as possible

not touch the neck). Never pass the
shoulder portion of the seat belt under
your arm.
ț Position the lap belt as low as possible
on your hips (over hip joint) and not
across the abdomen.
ț Place the seat backrest in a nearly up-
right position.
ț Never use a seat belt for more than one
person at a time.
ț Do not fasten a seat belt around a per-
son and another object at the same
time. When using a seat belt to secure
infant restraints or toddler restraints or
children in booster seats, always follow
the child seat manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
