Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go
as fast as
it goes.
For example, if the bike is going 10 mph
(16 km/h), so is the child. When the bike hits
the block, it stops.
But
the child keeps going!

How To Wear Safety
Belts
Properly
Adults
This section is only for people of adult
size.
Be aware that there are special things to
know about safety belts and children.
And there are different rules for smaller
children and babies.
If a child will be
riding in your Pontiac, see the section
located later
in this part called “Children.’’
Follow those rules for everyone’s
protection.
First, you’ll want to know which restraint
systems your vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This section describes the driver’s
restraint system.
lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s
low to wear it properly.
I. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see
“Seats” in the Index)
so you can sit up
straight.

3: Pick up the latch 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.
I I
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 crash.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
You can move the shoulder belt adjuster
to the height that is right for you.

I Lap-Shoulder Belt (CONK)
To move it up or down, squeeze the
release handle. When you release the
handle, try to move
it down a little to
make sure it has locked into position.
You can move the adjuster up from a
lower position by pushing the bottom of
the release handle. Adjust the
height
so that the shoulder
portion of the belt is properly positioned
on your shoulder, away from your face
and neck.
To help you find a height that is right for
you, follow these guidelines:
For a tall person: Use the upper or
upper-middle position.
For a person
of averaEe heipht: Use a
position somewhere in the middle.
For a short person: Use the lower or
lower-middle position.

Q: What’s wrong with this?
A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It
won’t give nearly as much protection
this way.
ProCarManuals.com

The best way to protect the fetus is to
protect the mother. When
a safety belt is
worn properly, it’s more likely that the
fetus won’t be
hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key
to
making safety belts effective is wearing
them properly.
Right Front Passenger
Position
The right front passenger’s safety belt
works the same way as the driver’s safety
belt. See “Driver Position,” earlier
in this
part.
When the lap portion of the belt is pulled
out all the way,
it will lock. If it does, let
it go back all the way and start again.
If your vehicle has a center passenger
position,
be sure to use the correct buckle
when buckling your lap-shoulder belt. If
you find that the latch plate
will not go
fully into the buckle, see if you are using
the buckle for the center passenger position
