Lap Belt
To fasten the belt, pull the latch plate
attached to the seat belt across your hips
and press it straight into the buckle until
you hear a “click”. After pressing the latch
plate into the buckle, pull the seat belt to
make sure it is securely latched. To reduce
the risk of sliding under the belt during a
collision, position the belt across your lap
as low on your hips as possible and adjust
it to a snug fit.

To tighten the belt, pull the free end of the
belt across alongside the lap strap.
After tightening the belt, pull the belt to
make sure that the buckle and latch plate
are securely latched.

To lengthen, release the latch plate from
the buckle, pull the latch plate (adjuster) in
the direction of the arrow, at right angles to
the belt. The latch plate should then be
refitted into the buckle and the belt tight-
ened as previously described.
To unfasten the belt, press the release but-
ton on the buckle catch.

NOTE:
The word “CENTER” is marked on the
buckle and latch plate for the rear center
belt. The buckles are designed so a latch
plate cannot be inserted into the wrong
buckle.

WARNING
Use the seat belt correctly. Other-
wise, in a sudden braking or a colli-
sion, the body may not be restrained,
resulting in severe injury. Observe
the following points.
• If the seat belt is twisted or con-
tains excessive slack, there is a
danger of heavy pressure focused
on certain body areas.
• If the seat belt rests on the abdo-
men, this area may sustain heavy
pressure when you get a strong
impact.
• If the seat belt does not rest firmly
over the shoulder, you may be
thrown forward when you get a
strong impact
