Armrest Adjustment
The armrests may be swung upward out of the
way for easy exit or access to the front seats
SEAT BELTS
Seats intended for occupancy while the vehi-
cle is in motion are equipped with seat belts for
the protection of the driver and passengers.
Lap Belts
The lap belts must be worn as low as possible
and fit snugly across the hip area. Always sit
erect and well back into the seat. To gain full pro-
tection of the safety belt, never let more than one
person use the same safety belt at any one time,
and do not let the safety belts become damaged
by pinching them in the doors or in the seat mech-
anism. After any serious accident, any seat belts
which were in use at the time should be replaced.
Adjustment:
To lengthen belt, turn tongue at a
right angle to belt and pull to desired length. To
shorten, pull loose end of belt.
To Fasten:
Be sure belt is not twisted. Grasp
each part of the belt assembly and push tongue
into buckle. Adjust to a snug fit by pulling the
loose end away from the tongue.
To Release:
Press button in center of buckle and
slide tongue out of buckle.
Lap-Shoulder Belts
Fastening:
Hold the belt just behind the
tongue using the hand nearest to the door. Next,
bring the belt across the body and insert the
tongue into the buckle until the latch engages.
Unfastening:
Press the release button in the
buckle. Hold onto the tongue when you release it
from the buckle to keep it from retracting too rap-
idly.
When the lap-shoulder belt is in use, the lap
belt must ride low across the hip area and the
shoulder belt must ride diagonally over the shoul-
der toward the buckle.

Snug and low belt positions are
essential. This will ensure that the
force exerted by the lap belt in a colli-
sion is spread over the strong hip area
and not across the abdomen, which
could result in serious injury.
Only seats equipped with seat belts
are to be occupied while vehicle is in
motion.
