Are Seat Belts Universal?
1 Answers
Seat belts are not universal; they vary depending on the vehicle model. Main functions of seat belts: The primary functions of the shoulder belt and lap belt are to cushion the forward or backward inertia of passengers during an accident, keeping them as securely as possible in their seats. When properly worn, the shoulder belt should cross the chest, and the lap belt should fit snugly over the hip bones. Avoid friction: When using seat belts, be careful not to let them rub against sharp objects to prevent damage. Also, avoid reclining the seat back too far, as this may prevent the seat belt from extending and retracting properly. When the seat is unoccupied, retract the seat belt into the retractor to prevent the buckle from hitting other objects during emergency braking.
