2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of
your seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the
belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far
as necessary to make the belt go around your
lap.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the
latch plate into the buckle until you hear a
“click.”
WARNING!
•
A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle
will not protect you properly. The lap por-
tion could ride too high on your body,
possibly causing internal injuries. Always
buckle your belt into the buckle nearest
you.
•
A belt that is too loose will not protect you
properly. In a sudden stop you could move
too far forward, increasing the possibility of
injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
A belt that is worn under your arm is
dangerous. Your body could strike the in-
side surfaces of the vehicle in a collision,
increasing head and neck injury. A belt
worn under the arm can cause internal
injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder
bones. Wear the belt over your shoulder so
that your strongest bones will take the
force in a collision.
•
A shoulder belt placed behind you will not
protect you from injury during a collision.
You are more likely to hit your head in a
collision if you do not wear your shoulder
belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant
to be used together.
