THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELTS

Fastening seat belts
WARNING
The seatback should not be in a reclined position
any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are
most effective when the passenger sits well back
and straight up in the seat.
1. Adjust the seat. (See "Manual seat adjustment
(where fitted)" earlier in this section.)
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and
insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear
and feel the latch engage.
•
The retractor is designed to lock during a
sudden stop or on impact. A slow pulling
motion permits the seat belt to move, and
allows you some freedom of movement in
the seat.

If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its
fully retracted position, firmly pull the belt
and release it. Then smoothly pull the belt
out of the retractor.

belt is routed over your shoulder and is snug
across your chest.

WARNING
•
The shoulder belt anchor height should be
adjusted to the position best for you. Failure
to do so may reduce the effectiveness of the
entire restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an accident.
•
The shoulder belt should rest on the middle
of the shoulder. It must not rest against the
neck.
•
Be sure that the seat belt is not twisted in any
way.
•
Be sure that the shoulder belt anchor is se-
cured by trying to move the shoulder belt an-
chor up and down after adjustment.
To adjust, pull on the release button
the shoulder belt anchor to the proper position
so that the belt passes over the centre of the shoul-
