4. 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, 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 retract 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 immediately 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 driver and front passenger seats,
the top of 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 position, and if you
are taller than average, you will prefer the
shoulder belt anchorage in a higher
position. After you release the anchorage
button, try to move it up or down to make
sure that it is locked in position.
Note: The adjustable upper shoulder belt
anchorage is equipped with an Easy Up
feature. This feature allows the shoulder
belt anchorage to be adjusted in the
upward position without pushing or
squeezing the release button. To verify
the shoulder belt anchorage is latched,
pull downward on the shoulder belt
anchorage until it is locked into position.
Warning!
Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could
make your injuries in a collision much worse.
You might suffer internal injuries, or you
could even slide out of the seat belt. Follow
these instructions to wear your seat belt
safely and to keep your passengers safe,
too.
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.
Misadjustment of the seat belt could
reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt
in a crash.
