How to Use the Seat Belt in a Bus?

1. The seat belt height adjustment device is located near the B-pillar. You can move the device up and down to make the three-point seat belt fit drivers of different heights. 2. When the shoulder belt is positioned too high, it may cut the neck of the driver or passenger; when the shoulder belt is positioned too low, it may slip off and fail to restrain the forward movement of the body. Therefore, the height of the seat belt must be adjusted to a moderate level, with the shoulder belt positioned at the center of the shoulder. 3. Then, grasp the seat belt latch plate and slowly pull out the seat belt. The shoulder belt should cross the chest, and the lap belt should fit snugly over the hips. Quickly pull the seat belt to ensure it locks, making sure the seat belt remains untwisted. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the seat belt buckle until you hear a click, indicating the seat belt is properly fastened.
When taking the bus, I often notice many people don't know how to fasten their seatbelts properly. Coach seatbelts are mainly lap belts. After boarding and locating the buckle, don't rush to insert it—first straighten the belt to prevent twisting. Insert the metal buckle into the slot until you hear a 'click' sound to ensure it's locked. Then, pull the lower part of the lap belt with your hand to secure it around your hip bones for maximum safety. Sit upright to avoid having the belt press against your stomach. Pregnant women and children are advised to sit in seats equipped with child seats. On long-distance rides with bumps, this belt can anchor you to your seat—once during a sudden brake, an unbelted man in front slammed into the seatback, and his glasses flew off.
