WARNING
Using the Seat Belt Guide:
Not using the seat belt guide is
dangerous. If the seat belt guide is
not used, the shoulder portion of the
center-rear seat belt could be
mistakenly positioned under the
head restraint; a position that cannot
provide adequate protection in a
collision and could result in the
center-rear passenger being seriously
injured or killed. Always make sure
the shoulder portion of the center-
rear seat belt is on the right side of
the left-rear head restraint and
guided correctly through the seat belt
guide.

WARNING
Fastening the Center-Rear Seat Belt
with Only One Buckle:
Fastening the center-rear seat belt
with only one buckle is dangerous. If
only one pair of seat belt tongues
and buckles is fastened (either seat
belt tongue (C) and seat belt anchor
buckle (D) or seat belt tongue (A) and
seat belt buckle (B)), then the seat
belt cannot provide full protection. In
a sudden stop or collision, the user
could slide under the belt and suffer
serious injuries. Always make sure
that both pairs of seat belt tongues
and buckles are fastened properly.
4. Position the lap belt as low as possible,
not on the abdominal area, then adjust
the shoulder belt so that it fits snugly
against your body.
