SAFETY 197
6. When the seat belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch
plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
7. Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies low across
your hips, below your abdomen. To remove slack in the
lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. To loosen
the lap belt if it is too tight, pull on the lap belt. A snug
seat belt reduces the risk of sliding under the seat belt in
a collision.
8. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is
comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor
will withdraw any slack in the seat belt.
9. To release the seat belt, push the red button on the buckle.
10. To disengage the mini-latch plate from the mini-buckle
for storage, insert the regular latch plate into the center
red slot on the mini-buckle. The seat belt will automati-
cally retract to its stowed position. If necessary, slide the
latch plate down the webbing to allow the seat belt to
retract fully. Insert the mini-latch plate and regular latch
plate into its stowed position.
Detaching Mini-Buckle With Seat Belt Tongue
WARNING!
• If the mini-latch plate and mini-buckle are not properly
connected when the seat belt is used by an occupant,
the seat belt will not be able to provide proper restraint
and will increase the risk of injury in a collision.
• When reattaching the mini-latch plate and
mini-buckle, ensure the seat belt webbing is not
twisted. If the webbing is twisted, follow the preceding
procedure to detach the mini-latch plate and
mini-buckle, untwist the webbing, and reattach the
mini-latch plate and mini-buckle.
