Fastening The Seat Belt - Subaru 1998 Legacy Owner's Manual

J Fastening the seat belt
CAUTION
Metallic parts of the seat belt can become very hot in a vehicle
that has been closed up in sunny weather; they could burn an oc-
cupant. Do not touch such hot parts.
1. Adjust the seat position:
Driver's seat: Move the seat back as far from the steering wheel as
practical while still maintaining full vehicle control and adjust the seat-
back to the upright position.
Front passenger's seat: Move the seat as far back as possible and
adjust the seatback to the upright position.
2. Sit well back in the seat.
3. Pick up the tongue plate and pull the belt out slowly. Do not let it get
twisted. If the belt stops before reaching the buckle, return the belt
slightly and pull it out more slowly.
4. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle until you hear a click.
For the driver's side seat belt, a seat belt warning device is provided; if
the driver is not wearing the seat belt with the ignition in the "ON" posi-
tion, the warning light on the instrument panel comes on and a warning
chime also sounds to remind the driver to wear the seat belt.
Refer to Warning and Indicator Lights section (chapter 3) for more
details.
