Combination Lap and Shoulder Belts While your vehicle is in motion, the combination lap and shoulder belt adjusts to your movement. However, if you brake hard, corner hard or if your truck receives an impact of 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the combination lap/shoulder belt locks and helps reduce your forward movement. The front seat belt systems can also be made to lock by jerking on the shoulder belt. NOTE: The rear belts cannot be made to lock up by jerking on shoulder belt. After you get into your vehicle, close the door and lock it. Then adjust the seat to the position that suits you best. To fasten the belt Pull the combination lap/shoulder belt from the retractor so that the shoulder portion of the belt crosses your shoulder and chest. Be sure the belt is not twisted. If it is, remove the twist. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened to the buckle by pulling on tongue. 17
