Does the Safety Belt Fit Properly?
Effectiveness and comfort decrease when your seat belt is worn improperly. Here’s what you do not want to do:
Do not allow the buckle to be located in the stomach or abdomen area.
Do not wear the shoulder straps under your arms or behind your back.
Do not wear the shoulder belt too snug, or let it rub against your neck.
Do not allow the belts to become too loose as you travel. Sometimes, as you travel, additional slack may occur. For example, when you lean forward the seat belt retractor may leave too much slack when you sit back into your normal seated position. If the lap and/or shoulder belts are too loose, they may not be able to hold you in place during a crash.
