Rear Center Lap Belt
To fasten the belt:
1. Tilt and pull the latch plate as
you extend the belt.
2. Push the latch plate into the
buckle until it clicks. Make
sure the release button on the
buckle faces upward or out-
ward.
3. To tighten the belt, hold the
buckle and pull on the slack.
Make sure the belt is worn low and
snug on the hips, just touching the
thighs.
To unlatch the belt, push the
button on the buckle.
Replacing Safety Belts
If you have been in a collision
where the belts may have been
stretched, or if the safety belt is cut
or damaged, the belt needs to be
replaced. Repairs may be neces-
sary even if the safety belt was not
used at the time of the collision.
Have the restraint system inspect-
ed after a collision.

Section 2
Your vehicle is equipped with safe-
ty belt pretensioners. Pretension-
ers work only once. If the
pretensioners were activated in a
collision, they will need to be
replaced. If the air bag light stays
on or comes on while you are driv-
ing, have the safety belt preten-
sioners checked. See "Safety Belt
Pretensioners" under "Supplemen-
tal Restraints" later in this section
for more information about this
feature.
Safety Belt Use During
Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women. Like
all occupants, they are more likely
to be seriously injured if they do
not wear safety belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a
lap/shoulder belt, and the lap
portion should be worn as low as
possible throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus is
to protect the mother. When a
safety belt is worn properly, it is
more likely that the fetus will not
be hurt in a crash. For pregnant
women, as for anyone, the key to
making safety belts effective is
wearing them
properly.
