Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure

Use the following procedure to untwist a twisted

lap/shoulder belt.

1. Position the latch plate as close as

possible to the anchor point.

2. At about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) above

the latch plate, grasp and twist the seat belt

webbing 180 degrees to create a fold that

begins immediately above the latch plate.

3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded

webbing. The folded webbing must enter

the slot at the top of the latch plate.

4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it

clears the folded webbing and the seat belt

is no longer twisted.

Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage

In the driver and outboard front passenger

seats, the top of the shoulder belt can be

adjusted upward or downward to position the

seat belt away from your neck. Push or squeeze

the anchorage button to release the anchorage,

and move it up or down to the position that

serves you best.

Adjustable Anchorage

As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you

will prefer the shoulder belt anchorage in a

lower position, and if you are taller than

average, you will prefer the shoulder belt

anchorage in a higher position. After you

release the anchorage button, try to move it up

or down to make sure that it is locked in posi

tion.

NOTE:

The adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage

is equipped with an Easy Up feature. This

feature allows the shoulder belt anchorage to

be adjusted in the upward position without

pushing or squeezing the release button. To

verify the shoulder belt anchorage is latched,

pull downward on the shoulder belt anchorage

until it is locked into position.

WARNING!



Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could

make your injuries in a collision much

worse. You might suffer internal injuries, or

you could even slide out of the seat belt.

Follow these instructions to wear your seat

belt safely and to keep your passengers

safe, too.



Position the shoulder belt across the

shoulder and chest with minimal, if any

slack so that it is comfortable and not

resting on your neck. The retractor will with

draw any slack in the shoulder belt.



Misadjustment of the seat belt could

reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt

in a crash.



Always make all seat belt height adjust

ments when the vehicle is stationary.
