First Row Center Seat Belt Operating Instructions (Regular Cab Only)
The first row center seat belt (Regular Cab only) features a seat belt with a mini-latch
plate and buckle, which allows the seat belt to detach from the lower anchor when
the seat is folded. The latch plate and regular latch plate can then be stored out of
the way in the seat for added convenience to open up utilization of the storage areas
behind the front seats when the seat is not occupied.
1. Remove the mini-latch plate and regular latch plate from its stowed position on
the seat.
2. Grasp the mini-latch plate and pull
the seat belt over the seat.
3. Route the shoulder belt to the inside
of the right head restraint.
4. When the seat belt is long enough to
fit, insert the mini-latch plate into the
mini-buckle until you hear a “click.”
5. Sit back in seat. Slide the regular
latch plate up the webbing as far as
necessary to allow the seat belt to go
around your lap.
6. When the seat belt is long enough to
fit, insert the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.”
7. Position the lap belt so that it is snug
and lies low across your hips, below
your abdomen. To remove slack in the
lap belt portion, pull up on the shoul-
der belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is
too tight, pull on the lap belt. A snug
seat belt reduces the risk of sliding
under the seat belt in a collision.
8. 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 seat belt.
9. To release the seat belt, push the red
button on the buckle.
