Operation
To operate the seat belt follow these steps:
1. Slowly pull the three-point seat belt out of the retractor
and slowly pull it across your lap far enough to engage
the buckle. If the retractor locks too soon, allow the seat
belt to retract slightly, then slowly pull it out again.
2. To fasten the seat belt, insert the tongue into the buckle
until it latches. Give the seat belt a firm tug to ensure
that the buckle is securely fastened.
3. The seat belt must be free to slide through the tongue,
allowing the belt tension to equalize across hips and
chest. The retractor is a locking type that allows the seat
belt to come out and to adjust for body movement.
4. The seat belt will return to the retractor as the body
returns to its original position. The retractor will retain
moderate tension across the body in its operation mode.
5. The seat belt is equipped with a clip to eliminate the
moderate belt tension across the body.
It can be
adjusted by pressing the button and sliding the clip
along the seat belt.
6. To release the seat belt, push the button release latch
on the buckle and give the seat belt a tug to assist the
seat belt into the retractor.
Care of Seat Belts
WARNING
Do not bleach or re-dye seat belt webbing.
Bleaching or re-dying may cause a weakening
of the webbing, resulting in personal injury or
death.
Clean the belts occasionally with mild soap; do not use cleaning
solvents or abrasives.
The entire seat belt assembly should be inspected periodically
for corrosion, wear, fraying or weak spots. The retractor, latch,
and buckle should be checked for proper function, and all seat
belt mounting bolts should be tight at all times.
