Occupant Restraint Belts
Lap and shoulder belts provide
added security and comfort for you and
your passengers. Proper use
and care of these belts will assure
continuance of this security.
Lap Belts -After the front seat
has been adjusted to the satisfac­
tion of the driver, sit erect and well
back in the seat, grasp the buckle
end and the flat metal
"eye" end of
your individual belt assembly and
position the belt across the lap
as
LOW ON THE HIPS AS POS­
SIBLE. Insert the metal eye into
the open end of the buckle until an
audible snap
is heard. Make sure
the connection
is secure and, to re­
duce the risk of sliding under the
belt, adjust it to a SNUG
FIT by
pulling on the end of the belt ex­
tending from the buckle. The snug
and low positions are essential in
order that the force exerted by the
lap belt in a collision will be spread
over the strong hip bone structure
and not across the soft abdominal
area which could result in serious
5
injury. For retractor-equipped
belts, pull the retractor hl;tlf of the
belt out to a solid stop to make sure
the belt webbing
is completely un­
wound from the retractor; then con­
nect the belt and make the neces­
sary adjustments at the buckle for
proper
fit. To lengthen a lap belt,
pLace the buckle at right angles to
the belt webbing. The belt will then
slide easily through the buckle.
To
unfasten the lap belt, simply de-
