WARNING
Before activating the Komfort Latch or the Slid-
ing Komfort Latch, make sure the amount of
slack in the shoulder strap is set as described
below. Excess slack in the shoulder strap re-
duces the effectiveness of the seat belt, and in-
creases the risk of injury or death in an accident.
5. Position the shoulder strap diagonally across
your chest with the adjustable D-loop bracket (if
equipped). The shoulder strap must be centered
on your shoulder and chest, away from your face
and neck. See
Fig. 7.9 . If desired, engage the
Komfort Latch or Sliding Komfort Latch as fol-
lows.
If equipped with a Sliding Komfort Latch, make
sure that the shoulder strap is snug against your
chest. Without loosening the shoulder strap,
push the Sliding Komfort Latch switch to the
"ON" position. See
Fig. 7.7 . To activate the latch
lean forward until you hear a click. This will allow
for approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) of slack be-
tween your chest and the shoulder harness.
Once engaged, the latch will allow you to lean
forward about 5 inches (13 cm) without having to
reset the latch. Leaning forward more than 5
