Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if you
pull it sharply or if your vehicle is on a slope.
The rear outer safety belts can lock if you
return the seatback from a folded position
to the upright position forcefully. Should
the safety belt lock, recline the seat using
the recline adjustment. See
Rear Seats
(page 76).
Press the red button on the buckle to
release the belt. Hold the tongue and let it
retract completely and smoothly to its
stowed position.
Using Safety Belts During
Pregnancy
WARNING
Position the safety belt correctly for
your safety and that of your unborn
child. Do not use only the lap strap
or the shoulder strap.
Pregnant women should always wear their
safety belt. The lap belt portion of a
combination lap and shoulder belt should
be positioned low across the hips below
the belly and worn as tight as comfort will
allow. The shoulder belt should be
positioned to cross the middle of the
shoulder and the center of the chest.
SAFETY BELT HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
Position the safety belt height
adjuster so that the safety belt rests
across the middle of your shoulder.
Failure to adjust the safety belt correctly
could reduce its effectiveness and increase
the risk of injury in a crash.
