Buckle, position and release it the same way
as
the
lap
part
of
a
lap-shoulder belt. If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender’’
at the end
of
this section.
Make sure the release button
on
the buckle is positioned
so
you
would be
able
to
unbuckle the safety belt quickly
if
you
ever had to.
Rear Seat Passengers
It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up! Accident statistics
show that unbelted people
in
the rear seat are hurt more often
in
crashes
than those who are wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown
out
of
the
vehicle in
a
crash. And they can strike others
in
the vehicle who are wearing safety
belts.
