SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS Right Front Passenger Position To learn how to wear the right front passenger's safety belt properly, see "Driver Position" in this section. The right front passenger's safety belt works the same way as the driver's safety belt. Lap-Shoulder Belt All rear seating positions have lap-shoulder belts. Here's how to wear one properly. 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. L3U1032A L3U1030A A pregnant woman should wear a lapshoulder belt, and the lap portion should be worn as low as possible, below the rounding, throughout the pregnancy. The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it's more likely that the fetus won't be hurt in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts effective is wearing them properly. L3U1031A 1) Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Don't let it get twisted. The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt across you very quickly. If this happens, let the belt go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you more slowly. 2) Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Be sure you are using the correct buckle and that the latch plate clicks when inserted into the buckle. 1-11
