WARNING! (Continued)
•
A shoulder belt placed behind you will not
protect you from injury during a collision.
You are more likely to hit your head in a
collision if you do not wear your shoulder
belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant
to be used together.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs,
below your abdomen. To remove slack in the lap
belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. To
loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch
plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt
reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a
collision.
NOTE:
The Seat Belt Reminder Light will remain on
until the driver’s seat belt is buckled.
WARNING!
•
A lap belt worn too high can increase the
risk of injury in a collision. The belt forces
won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic
bones, but across your abdomen. Always
wear the lap part of your seat belt as low as
possible and keep it snug.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
A twisted belt may not protect you properly.
In a collision, it could even cut into you. Be
sure the belt is straight. If you can’t
straighten a belt in your vehicle, take it to
your authorized dealer immediately and
have it fixed.
5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so
that it is comfortable and not resting on your
neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in
the belt.
6. To release the belt, push the red button on
the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to
its stowed position. If necessary, slide the latch
plate down the webbing to allow the belt to
retract fully.
