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 section.
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. L_
REM SEAT PASSENGERS
It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up! Accident
statistics show that unbelted people in the rear seat are hurt more often in
-,
crashes than those who are wearing safety belts. *a
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown out of the vehicle
in a crash. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who are wearing
safety belts.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
a crash, or if you pull the
belt very quickly out of the retractor.
