To Release the Seat Belt

The seat belt is released by pressing the re-
lease button in the locking buckle. When it is
released, the belt should automatically draw
back into the retractor.
If this does not happen, check the belt to be
sure it is not twisted, then try again.

1. Before fastening the rear seat center belt,

confirm the metal tab (a) and buckle (b) are
latched together.

2. After confirming that (a) and (b) are latched,

pull the seat belt out of the retractor and
insert the metal tab (c) into the buckle (d).

There will be an audible "click" when the tab
locks in the buckle. The seat belt automatically
adjusts to the proper length only after the lap
belt is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. If you lean forward in a slow,
easy motion, the belt will extend and let you
move around. If there is a sudden stop or
impact, the belt will lock into position. It will also
lock if you try to lean forward too quickly.
