Lap belt for center seating position of
the rear seat
Pull belt with latch plate (1) over lap so
that the belt is positioned as low on
your hips as possible. Push latch
plate (1) into buckle (2) until it clicks.
Do not twist the belt but keep it tight.
For safety reasons, avoid adjusting
the seat into positions which could
affect the correct seat belt position.
To shorten the belt: With the latch
plate engaged, pull the loose end of
the belt.
To lengthen the belt: With the belt un­
fastened, turn the latch plate so that it
is a little more than 90° perpendicular
to the belt, then extend the belt. Fas­
ten the belt and shorten as stated
above.
To disengage the belt, push red
button (3) in the buckle.
If the center seat is not occupied, the
belt buckle and rolled-up seat belt can
be stored in the space next to the rear
arm rest (to the left or right of arm
rest).
Warning!
• Each occupant should wear
their seat belt at all times. To­
gether with the “SRS” (driver
airbag, ETR’s and driver-side
knee bolster), the seat belt
offers the best conditions for
protection of the body in case
of major frontal impact. Never
wear the shoulder belt under
your arm or otherwise out of
position. Position the lap belt
as low as possible around the
hips (not the waist).
• According to accident statis­
tics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear
seating positions than in the
front seating positions.
• Infants and small children
must be seated in an infant or
child restraint system, which
is properly secured by a lap
belt or lap belt portion of a lap-
shoulder belt. Children could
be endangered in an accident
if their child restraints are
not properly secured in the
vehicle.
• Children too big for child re­
straint systems should ride in
rear seats using regular seat
belts. Position shoulder belt
across the chest and shoulder,
not the face or neck. A booster
seat may be necessary.
• Each seat belt should not be
used for more than one person
at a time.
• Belts should not be worn
twisted.
• Pregnant women should select
a seat with a lap-shoulder belt
whenever possible. The lap
belt should be positioned as
low as possible around the
hips to avoid any possible
pressure on the abdomen.
For cleaning and care of the seat
belts, see page 90.
