Explanation
The seat belt must be fastened and fit closely to the body: the diagonal strap over the collarbone and the middle of the chest, and the lap belt over the hip bones, never over the abdomen. If it is loose or the seat back is tilted too far back, in a crash the body can slide under it: this is called submarining.
