Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating
Instructions
1. Enter the vehicle and close the door.
Sit back and adjust the seat.
2. The seat belt latch plate is above the
back of the front seat, and next to your
arm in the rear seat (for vehicles
equipped with a rear seat). Grasp the
latch plate and pull out the seat belt.
Slide the latch plate up the webbing as
far as necessary to allow the seat belt
to go around your lap.
3. When the seat belt is long enough to
fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle
until you hear a “click.”
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.
