Seats and Restraints
Lap/Shoulder Belt
All seating positions are equipped
with lap/shoulder belts.
The lap/shoulder belt should be
worn properly, as described
below.
To fasten the belt:
1. Adjust the seat and sit up
straight.
2. Pick up the latch plate.
3. Pull the belt across you. Do
not let it get twisted.
The shoulder belt may lock if
you pull it out very quickly. To
unlock it, let the belt go back
slightly then pull it across you
more slowly.
4. Push the latch plate into the
buckle until it clicks. Make
sure the release button on
the buckle faces upward or
outward.
Pull up on the latch plate to
make sure it is secure.
CAUTION
You could be seriously injured if
your belt is buckled in the
wrong place. Always buckle
your belt into the buckle
nearest you.
Be sure the belt goes under the
armrests (if equipped).
If the safety belt goes over an
armrest (if equipped), the lap
portion of the safety belt could
apply force to the abdomen in a
crash, not to the much stronger
pelvic bones.
