Tips on How to Properly Use a Seat Belt



                                                       


Always fasten your seat belt before stepping on the gas. Also make sure that all passengers are using proper seat belt or child restraints .

If you are in a crash while using seat belts, studies have shown that your chances of surviving are greatly reduced. Seat belts will move with you and lock up during a crash.
They also keep you from being thrown out of the vehicle and against parts inside of the vehicle.

To ensure proper uses of a seat belt: 

                                    


  • The lap belt should be positioned across the upper thighs and the diagonal belt should be positioned across the chest. 
  • Make sure your belt fits snugly against your body and never slip the diagonal belt behind your body.
If your car have the lap belt but not the diagonal belt or vice versa, return the car to your dealership or a qualified repair shop for further assistance.
