What are the standards for seat belt usage?

The specific standards for seat belt usage are as follows: Regularly inspect the condition of the seat belt. When pulling the belt down slowly by hand, it should smoothly extend from the retractor. If you pull the belt sharply, it should not move; otherwise, the belt is faulty. If any damage is found, replace it promptly. All bolts securing the seat belt to the floor near the seat should be tightened according to regulations, and sealant should be applied around the bolts. Before using the seat belt, pull out the lap belt as much as possible, adjust the buckle near the waist, and wrap the remaining belt over the shoulder. Adjust the shoulder belt length near the chest, leaving enough room to fit a fist. The three-point lap belt should be worn as low as possible, around the hips, not the waist. The shoulder belt should not be placed under the arm but should cross the chest diagonally. The seat belt should only be used by one person; sharing is strictly prohibited. Do not twist the seat belt while using it. Do not let the seat belt press against hard or fragile objects, such as glasses, pens, or keys in clothing. Avoid contact with sharp objects to prevent damage to the belt. When the seat is unoccupied, return the belt to the retractor. To remove the belt, hold it with your left hand, press the buckle with your right hand to release it, and slowly guide it back with your left hand. Do not let go immediately to prevent the metal buckle from snapping back and breaking the glass or injuring someone. Do not tilt the seat back too far, as this may prevent the belt from extending or retracting properly, affecting its effectiveness. Ensure the buckle is securely fastened to prevent accidental release under force. After any accident, the seat belt must be reset. This is because, during a severe collision, the belt stretches, and many components, including sensors, are designed for one-time use.
