To buckle:
Pull the belt out slowly, far enough to insert the latch plate into the buckle, until a snap is heard. The belt
should not be twisted or turned. To unfasten, depress red pushbutton in buckle. Let the belts rewind into
their retractors.
The seat belts are normally "unlocked". The seat belt locks and cannot be pulled out:
●
if it is pulled out rapidly
●
during braking and acceleration
●
if the vehicle is leaning excessively
●
when driving in turns
Check seat belt mechanism function as follows:
1. Attach the seat belt. Pull rapidly on the strap.
2. Brake hard from approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) or drive in a tight circle (check other traffic first!)
Pull on the belt.
In these cases the belt should not be able to be pulled out.
