Seating and Safety Restraints
4. Insert the latch plate into the
matching seat belt buckle on the
lower seat cushion.
5. Listen for an audible click when
the latch plate is fastened. Check
that the buckle connection is
secure by pulling on the shoulder
portion of the lap-shoulder belt.
6. Position the lap portion of the belt
so that the webbing is below the
passenger's waist, not over the
stomach or abdomen area. The
lap portion of the belt must be low
and snug over the bony structure
of the passenger's hips.
7. Pull up on the shoulder portion
of the lap-shoulder belt to tighten
the lap portion.
THIS
STEP IS IMPORTANT
AND MUST BE DONE TO
ENSURE PROPER FIT OF
LAP-SHOULDER BELT TO
PASSENGER!
The shoulder portion of the belt must be snug across
the chest and in the center of the passenger's shoulder.
8. Position the shoulder height
adjuster at or just above the
passenger's
shoulder. The
shoulder belt should not cross the
passenger's face or neck.
9. Make sure the lap-shoulder belt
is snug and lies flat against the
passenger. There should be no
twisting of the webbing.
Unbuckling
1. Push the RED buckle release
button and remove the latch plate
from the buckle.
The buckle
has a release mechanism that
separates the latch plate from the
buckle.
2. Allow the shoulder belt to retract
and stow in the upper seat back.
3. As a courtesy to the next
passenger, move the shoulder
height adjuster up to the highest
position.
