Harness question

Hello everyone, I have a quick question and hoping I can get an answer, someone on another board mentioned that the yellow tag should be inboard, here is the picture for reference:



Can anyone provide any insight?

The instructions I have say it is critical to install the ASM belt on the inside shoulder, but don't say why.

The car arrives next week, how hard/easy is it to switch both?

I suppose the ASM is located inboard, so the direction of torso rotation in a crash is outward. Minimizing the likelyhood of driver and passenger banging their heads into each other.

My guess is to install as instructed stay main buckle mechanism
inside of the car when it is released and it will less disturb rescue
operation in case of emergency.

Takes a few minutes to swap, no big deal.

Please swap all four shoulder belts so the tabs align well with the cam.
