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.
On convertible models, the safety belt also locks if
you
pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.
You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is
too loose. In a crash, you would move forward
too much, which could increase injury. The
shoulder belt should fit against your body.

matches the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, any
remaining transmitters must
also be matched. Once the
new transmitter is coded, the lost transmitter will not
unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four
transmitters matched
to it.
