To recline the seats: Lift the reclining lever, lean
back to desired incline and release the lever. To
return to the upright position, lift the lever and
lean body forward. Allow the seat to return to
the desired position and release the lever.
WARNING
Do not adjust driver’s seat while vehicle
is in motion. After adjusting seat,
always use body pressure to make sure
slide and swivel locking mechanism
have engaged.
Lap Belts
The lap belts must be worn as low as possible
and fit snugly across the hip area. Always sit
erect and well back into the seat. To gain full
protection of the safety belt, never let more
than one person use the same safety belt at any
one time, and do not let the safety belts become
damaged by pinching them in the doors or in
the seat mechanism. After any serious accident,
any seat belts, which were in use at the time,
should be replaced.
Adjustment:
To lengthen belt, turn tongue at
a right angle to belt and pull to desired length.
To shorten, pull loose end of belt.
To Fasten:
Be sure belt is not twisted. Grasp
each part of the belt assembly and push tongue
into buckle. Adjust to a snug fit by pulling the
loose end away from the tongue.
To Release:
Press button in center of buckle
and slide tongue out of buckle.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an injury in an
accident, position the lap belt tightly and
as low as possible across the pelvic
area. Pregnant women 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.
Lap-Shoulder Belts
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.
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 collision.
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.
Damaged parts should be replaced. So not
remove or modify the belt system.
Keep belts clean and dry. If the belts need
cleaning, use only a mild soap and water
solution. Do not use hot water. Do not use
abrasive cleaners or bleach. These products
may weaken or damage the belts.
Replace any belt assembly that was used
during a severe impact. Replace the
