would move too far forward. That would
increase the chance of head and neck
injuries. The seat belt would also apply
too much force to the ribs or abdomen,
which could severely injure internal
organs such as your liver or spleen.
Adjust the seat belt so that the shoulder
section is located as close as possible to
the middle of the shoulder (it should not
touch the neck). Never pass the shoulder
portion of the seat belt under your arm.
For this purpose, you can adjust the
height of the seat belt outlet.
RSeat belts should not be worn twisted. In
a crash, you would not have the full width
of the seat belt to distribute impact
forces. The twisted seat belt against your
body could cause injuries.

a lap/shoulder belt. The lap belt portion
should be positioned as low as possible
on the hips to avoid any possible
pressure on the abdomen.
RPlace the seat backrest in a position that
is as upright as possible.
RPosition the lap belt as low as possible
on your hips and not across the
abdomen. If the lap belt is positioned
across your abdomen, it could cause
serious injuries in a crash.
RCheck your seat belt during travel to
make sure it is properly positioned.
RNever place your feet on the instrument
panel, dashboard, or on the seat. Always
keep both feet on the floor in front of the
seat.

breakable objects in or on your clothing,
such as eyeglasses, pens, keys etc., as
these might cause injuries.
