4. Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies low
across your hips, below your abdomen. To re-
move slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the
shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too
tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt.
A snug seat belt reduces the risk of sliding under
the seat belt in a collision.
5. Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder
and chest with minimal, if any slack so that it is
comfortable and not resting on your neck. The
retractor will withdraw any slack in the shoulder
belt.
6. To release the seat belt, push the red button on
the buckle. The seat belt will automatically re-
tract to its stowed position. If necessary, slide the
latch plate down the webbing to allow the seat
belt to retract fully.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure
Use the following procedure to untwist a twisted
lap/shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the
anchor point.
2. At about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) above the
latch plate, grasp and twist the seat belt webbing
180 degrees to create a fold that begins imme-
diately above the latch plate.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded
webbing. The folded webbing must enter the
slot at the top of the latch plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it clears
the folded webbing and the seat belt is no longer
twisted.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage
In the front and second row outboard seats the
shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downward
to position the seat belt away from your neck. Push
or squeeze the anchorage button to release the
anchorage, and move it up or down to the position
that serves you best.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will
prefer the shoulder belt anchorage in a lower posi-
tion, and if you are taller than average, you will
prefer the shoulder belt anchorage in a higher posi-
tion. After you release the anchorage button, try to
move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in
position.
