To Fasten:
Be sure belt is not twisted. Grasp

Lap-Shoulder Belt
Fastening:
Hold the belt just behind the
tongue using the hand nearest to the door. Next,
bring the belt across the body and slide the
tongue into the buckle until the latch engages.
Unfastening:
Press the release button in the
buckle. Hold onto the tongue when you release it
from the buckle to keep it from retracting too
rapidly.
When the lap-shoulder belt is in use, the lap
portion must ride across the strong hip area and
the shoulder portion must ride diagonally over
the shoulder blade toward the buckle.
The shoulder belt is designed to lock only
during a sudden stop, sudden body movement or
a collision. At all other times it will move freely
with the occupant.
Seat Belt Care and Cleaning
·
Be careful not to damage the belt webbing
and hardware. Take care not to pinch them in
the seat or doors.
·
Inspect the belts and hardware periodically.
Check for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Dam-
aged parts should be replaced. Do not remove
or modify the belt system.
·
Keep belts clean and dry. If the belts need
cleaning, use only a mild soap and water so-
lution. Do not use hot water. Do not use abra-
sive cleaners or bleach. These products may
weaken or damage the belts.
·
Replace any belt assembly that was used dur-
ing a severe impact. Replace the complete as-
sembly even if damage is not apparent.
To reduce the risk of an injury in an
accident, position the lap belt tightly
and as low as possible across the pel-
vic area. Pregnant woman should be
especially certain to wear the lap belt
as low as possible across the pelvic
area so there is no pressure on the
abdomen.
Only seats equipped with seat belts
are to be occupied while vehicle is in
motion.
WARNING
Never wear the shoulder belt in any
position other than as stated above.
Failure to do so could increase the
chance or extent of injury in a colli-
sion
