When the bike hits the block, it stops. But the child
keeps going! Take the
simplest vehicle. Suppose it's just a seat on
wheels.

Automatic Lap-Shoulder Belt
E
This safety belt is called “automatic” because you don’t
have to buckle up when
you get into your vehicle. And you
don’t have to unbuckle when
you get out.
Just get into your vehicle. Then close and lock the door.
Adjust the seat
(to see how, see “Seats” in the Index) so
you can sit up straight.

The lap belt should be worn as low on the hips as
possible. 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.
It’s possible that
an automatic belt could keep you from
fully opening a door. That can happen if the door was
slammed shut very hard. Just close the door all the way,
then slowly open it. If that doesn’t fix it, then your
Buick needs service.
We hope you’ll always keep your automatic belt
buckled. However,
you may need to unbuckle it in an
emergency. And you would need
to unbuckle it to let
someone get into the center front seat position,
if your
vehicle has one.
