How to Operate Your Seat Belts and Restraint System
If you wear your safety belt improperly, both the effectiveness and comfort will decrease.
Operating Instructions for Lap/Shoulder Combination Restraints
1. Enter the vehicle and close the door. Sit back, and adjust the seat.
2. The latch plate of the belt 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.”
4. Position the lap belt across your thigh, below your abdomen.
If you need the lap portion tighter, pull up a bit on
the shoulder part.
A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision. Position the shoulder belt on
your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck.
The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
5. To release the belt, push the release button on the buckle.
Some shoulder belts can be adjusted upward or downward to help position the belt away from your neck.
Push on the anchorage cover to release it, and then move it up or down to the position that serves you best.
Operating Instructions for Lap Belt Restraints without a Shoulder Harness
Always wear your seat belt when the vehicle is in operation.
1. Slide the latch up the webbing as far as necessary to make the belt go around your lap.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
3. Adjust and position the belt low and snug across your hips by removing the slack from the belt.
To release the belt, push the release button on the buckle.
4.
Each belt is intended to restrain only one person at a time. Do not put two people under one belt.
Never attempt to restrain a child in your lap using the lap belt around both you and the child. The child could
be severely injured or killed in the event of a collision.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your
vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and is
using a seat belt properly.
