Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
1. Remove the tongue plate from the belt
holder located under the right rear quarter
glass and pull out the seatbelt slowly.
2. After drawing out the seatbelt, pass it
through the belt guide as follows: First in-
sert one edge of the belt into the open gap
in the comfort guide; then slide the rest of
the belt in, so that the whole belt fits in-
side.
Fastening the seatbelt with the web-
bing twisted can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
When fastening the belt after it is
pulled out from the retractor, espe-
cially when inserting the connec-
tor ’ s tongue plate into the mating
buckle (on right-hand side), always
check that the webbing is not twist-
ed.

Be sure to fasten both tongue plates
to the respective buckles. If the
seatbelt is used only as a shoulder
belt (with the connector ’ s tongue
plate not fastened to the connec-
tor ’ s buckle on the right-hand side),
it cannot properly restrain the wear-
er in position in an accident, possi-
bly resulting in serious injury or
death.
