Shoulder Belt Emergency Release Buttons
[SR07800(ALL)02/94]
If the shoulder belt locks up in a collision, it
may stay locked. To unlock the belt, press the
emergency release button on the shoulder belt
buckle. This allows the tongue to unlatch from
the buckle. If the shoulder belt is unlatched and
partially retracted, a warning light in the
instrument panel lights up and remains on; the
warning chime sounds for about five (5) seconds.

To insert the tongue back into the shoulder belt
buckle, push it in until you hear a click.

If the belt does not lie flat against you, or the
belt has a twist in it at the retractor, unlatch the
belt at the buckle, remove twist, and relatch the
belt into the buckle.
