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 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and pull the shoulder belt webbing 180 degrees to form a fold that starts directly above the latch plate.
3. 3
   Slide the latch plate up over the folded webbing. The folded webbing must enter the slot in the upper part of the latch plate.
4. 4
   Continue sliding the latch plate up until it clears the folded webbing and the seat belt no longer twists.
