Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt Untwisting Procedure

Use the following procedure to untwist a twisted lap/shoulder seat belt.

1. 1
   Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point.
2. 2
   At a height of approximately 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp the seat belt and twist it 180 degrees to form a fold that begins directly above the latch plate.
3. 3
   Slide the latch plate up over the folded belt. The folded belt must enter the slot in the upper part of the latch plate.
4. 4
   Continue sliding the latch plate up until it releases the folded belt and the seat belt is no longer twisted.
