until it clicks.
The lap belt should be positioned as
low as possible on your hips and not

portion is located as close as possible
to the middle of your shoulder. Do not
twist the belt.
The shoulder portion of the seat belt

snugness immediately after engaging it.
For safety reasons, avoid adjusting the
seat or seat back into positions which
could affect the correct seat belt
position.
Unfastening of Seat Belts
Push the release button (3) in the belt
buckle (2).
Allow the retractor to completely
rewind the seat belt by guiding the latch

For cleaning and care of the seat belts,
see Upholstery in Index.

The inertia reel stops the belt from
unwinding during sudden vehicle stops
or when quickly pulling on the belt.
The locking function of the reel may be
checked by quickly pulling out the belt.
