Lap-Shoulder Belt
‘I
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust
the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index) so you can sit up
straight.

plate and pull the
belt across you.
Don’t let it get
twisted.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If the belt isn’t long
enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle
is positioned so you would
be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly
if you ever had to.

Your Eldorado may be equipped with a shoulder belt tightness adjustment
feature. If the shoulder belt seems too tight, you can adjust it like this:
1. Sit well back in the seat.
2.
3.
Start pulling the
shoulder belt out.
Just before it reaches the end,
give it a quick
pull.

5. Now you can add a small amount of slack. Lean forward slightly, then
sit back.
If you've added more than 1 inch (25 mm) of slack, pull the
shoulder belt out as you did before and start again.
If you move around in the vehicle enough, or if you pull out the shoulder
belt, the belt will become tight again.
If this happens, you can reset it.

A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It won't give nearly as much
protection this way.
