PROPER USE OF YOUR LAP AND SHOULDER BELT
1. Enter the vehicle and sit back.
2. The safety belt buckle is located above the back of the seat. Grasp
the buckle and pull out the belt. Slide the buckle up the webbing as
far as necessary to make the belt go around your lap.
3. When the safety belt is long enough to fi t, insert the buckle into the
latch until you hear a click.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, and below your abdomen.
To remove slack in the lap belt portion of the belt, pull up on the
shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the buckle
and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under
the belt in a collision.
5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable
and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any
slack in the belt.
Understanding the Features of Your Vehicle
Make sure the button on the latch faces upward or out-
ward, so that you are able to unbuckle your safety belt
quickly.
CAUTION!
