How to Use Seat Belts Properly?

[VanJace]

Seat belts should be used as follows: 1. Pull out the seat belt and fasten the buckle tongue into the buckle to ensure the belt secures your body; 2. Adjust the lap belt position so that it rests across your hips; 3. Adjust the shoulder belt position so that it crosses diagonally over your collarbone; 4. Before driving, check that the seat belt is securely fastened and functioning properly; 5. To release, press the release button on the buckle while holding the tongue and allow the belt to retract into the retractor, then store the buckle tongue in its designated position. Automotive seat belts are devices designed to protect passengers and drivers by preventing airbag deployment injuries during severe impacts. Their primary functions include absorbing crash energy, counteracting inertial forces, and preventing or reducing the severity of occupant injuries.
