1. Before fastening the rear seat center belt,
confirm the metal tab (a) and buckle (b) are
latched together.
2. After confirming that (a) and (b) are latched,
pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert
the metal tab (c) into the buckle (d).
There will be an audible "click" when the tab
locks in the buckle. The seat belt automatically
adjusts to the proper length only after the lap belt
is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly around
your hips. If you lean forward in a slow, easy
motion, the belt will extend and let you move
around. If there is a sudden stop or impact, the
belt will lock into position. It will also lock if you
try to lean forward too quickly.

WARNING:
o Never let anyone ride in the rear center
seat without fastening all metal tabs and
buckles as described in this section.
This seat belt is designed to function as
a typical 3-point restraint (lap/shoulder
belt). Using only the shoulder portion or
lap portion of the belt can result in seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event of a
collision or sudden stop.
o Never unlock the metal tab (a) and the
buckle (b) with the following excep-
tions.
1) In case of folding rear seatbacks
down.
2) If transporting an object on the rear
seat may cause damage to the rear
seat center belt.
o Always lock metal tab (a) into buckle (b)
immediately after returning the rear
seatbacks to an upright position. This
portion of the rear center seat belt should
only be unbuckled when the rear seatback
is folded down.

WARNING:
The rear seat center belt latching mecha-
nism is different from those for the out-
board rear seat shoulder belts. When fas-
tening the outboard rear seat shoulder belts
or the rear seat center belt, make sure they
are inserted into the correct buckles to
obtain maximum protection from the seat
belt system and assure proper operation.
