Lap Belt

When you sit in the center seating position, you will
have either a lap

only belt or a lap

shoulder belt.

If the center rear seat position has a lap

only belt with

no retractor, this part will tell you how to use the lap
belt properly. If the center rear seat position has a
lap

shoulder belt with a retractor, see the part of

this manual called “Rear Seat Passenger Positions
Lap

Shoulder Belt” for instructions on how to

properly wear the lap

shoulder belt.

To make the lap belt longer, tilt the latch plate and
pull it along the belt.
