Knowing your vehicle

3. Insert the tongue plate (1) into the

open end of the buckle (2) until an
audible “click” is heard, indicating the
belt is locked in the buckle.

4. Position the lap portion (1) of the belt

across your lap as LOW ON THE HIPS
as possible to reduce the risk of sliding
under it during an accident. Adjust the
belt to a SNUG FIT by pulling up on
the shoulder portion (2) of the safety
belt. The belt retractor is designed to
take up excess webbing automatically
and to maintain tension on the belt. For
your safety, do not put any excess
slack into the safety belt at any loca-
tion.

✽

✽ NOTICE

If you are not able to pull out the safety

belt from the retractor, firmly pull the

belt out and release it. Then you will be

able to pull the belt out smoothly.

5. Adjust the shoulder anchor position to

your size. To raise the anchor position,
push the anchor up (1). To lower the
anchor position, press (2) the button
(A) and slide the anchor down (3).
After adjustment, make sure the
anchor is locked in position.

If the height of the adjusting seat belt is
too near your neck, you will not be getting
the most effective protection. The shoul-
der portion should be adjusted so that it
lies across your chest and midway over
your shoulder nearest the door and not
your neck.
