Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure
Use the following procedure to untwist a twisted
lap/shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the
anchor point.
2. At about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) above the
latch plate, grab and twist the seat belt webbing
180 degrees to create a fold that begins
immediately above the latch plate.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded
webbing. The folded webbing must enter the slot at
the top of the latch plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it clears
the folded webbing and the seat belt is no longer
twisted.
Second Row Center Seat Belt Operating
Instructions
Second Row Seat Belts
1 — Seat Belt Buckle
2 — Seat Belt Latch Plate
3 — Mini Latch Plate
4 — Mini Seat Belt Buckle
5 — Mini Buckle Release
The second row center seat belt features a seat belt
with a mini-latch plate and buckle, which allows the
seat belt to detach from the lower anchor when the
seat is folded. The mini-latch plate and regular latch
plate can then be stored out of the way in the parcel
tray for added convenience to open up utilization of the
storage areas behind the front seats when the seat is
not occupied.
1. Remove the mini-latch plate and regular latch plate
from its stowed position in the right rear side trim
panel.
2. Grab the mini-latch plate and pull the seat belt over
the seat.
3. Route the shoulder belt to the inside of the right
head restraint.
4. When the seat belt is long enough to fit, insert the
mini-latch plate into the mini-buckle until you hear a
"click."
5. Sit back in seat. Slide the regular latch plate up the
webbing as far as necessary to allow the seat belt
to go around your lap.
6. When the seat belt is long enough to fit, insert the
latch plate into the buckle until you hear a "click."
7. Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies low
across your hips, below your abdomen. To remove
slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder
belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, pull on
the lap belt. A snug seat belt reduces the risk of
sliding under the seat belt in a collision.
8. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is
comfortable and not resting on your neck. The
retractor will withdraw any slack in the seat belt.
9. To release the seat belt, push the red button on the
buckle.
