low as possible across your hips,
then pull up on the shoulder part of
the belt so the lap part f its snugly.

take the force of a crash and reduces
the chance of internal injuries.This spreads the f orces of a crash
over the strongest bones in your
upper body.

your neck, or if it crosses your arm
instead of your shoulder, you need to
adjust the seat belt anchor height.

belt anchors. To adjust the height of
an anchor, press and hold the release
buttons, and slide the anchor up or
down as needed (it has f our
positions).
If necessary, pull up on the belt again
to remove any slack, then check that
the belt rests across the center of
your chest and over your shoulder.
