The correct way to wear a car seat belt: 1. After checking the safety of the seat belt, adjust your sitting position. The distance between you and the steering wheel should be such that when your arms are fully extended, your wrists rest comfortably on the steering wheel. Your legs should be bent at approximately 90 degrees, allowing for quick and flexible reactions in case of emergency braking. 2. Adjust the seat belt by holding the buckle and latch, then slowly pull out the lap belt. Ensure the shoulder belt crosses over your shoulder and lies close to your neck, fitting snugly and comfortably against your body. 3. Adjust the seat belt according to your body size. The belt should not be too loose or too tight—leaving about two fingers' width is ideal. This ensures safety without causing discomfort. If driving while pregnant, avoid placing the belt over your belly, as this can be very dangerous for the fetus.
