Second Row Center Seat Belt Operating
Instructions
The second row center seat belt may feature a seat belt
with a mini-latch plate and buckle. The mini-latch plate
and buckle (if equipped) should remain connected at all
times. If the mini-latch plate and buckle become
disconnected, they must be properly reconnected prior to
the rear center seat belt being used by an occupant.
1. Grab the mini-latch plate and pull the seat belt over
the seat.

2. When the seat belt is long enough to fit, insert the
mini-latch plate into the mini-buckle until you hear
a "click."

3. 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.
4. When the seat belt is long enough to fit, insert the
latch plate into the buckle until you hear a "click."

5. 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.
6. 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.
7. To release the seat belt, push the red button on
the buckle.
