across your hips, below your abdomen. To remove
slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder
belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, pull on the
lap belt. A snug seat belt reduces the risk of sliding
under the seat belt in a collision.

comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retrac-
tor will withdraw any slack in the seat belt.
9. To release the seat belt, push the red button on the
buckle.
10. To disengage the mini-latch from the mini-buckle for
storage, insert the regular latch plate into the center
red slot on the mini-buckle. The seat belt will auto-
matically retract to its stowed position. If necessary,
slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the
seat belt to retract fully. Insert the mini-latch plate
and regular latch plate into its stowed position.
