Height adjustment
You can adjust the height of the shoul‐
der belt anchor to one of 3 positions for
maximum comfort and safety.
The height of the adjusting seat belt
should not be too close to your neck.
You will not be getting the most effec‐
tive protection. The shoulder portion
should be adjusted so that it lies across
your chest and midway over your
shoulder near the door and not your
neck.
To adjust the height of the seat belt
anchor, lower or raise the height ad‐
juster into an appropriate position.
To raise the height adjuster, pull it up
(1). To lower it, push it down (3) while
pressing the height adjuster button (2).
Release the button to lock the anchor
into position. Try sliding the height ad‐
juster to make sure that it has locked
into position.
Improperly positioned seat belts can
cause serious injuries in an accident.
WARNING
• Verify the shoulder belt anchor is
locked into position at the appro‐
priate height. Never position the
shoulder belt across your neck or
face.
