Seats and Restraints
Warning (Continued)
collision or sudden stop if it is in
contact with your neck and/
or face.
Every seat except the center seat
on your vehicle is equipped with a
three-point seat belt. The seat belt
extends or retracts freely if the
wearer moves slowly, but it locks
and restrains the occupant during
forward force caused by the
occupant's body following a strong
shock.
To Fasten:
1. Sit on the seat in the correct
driving position.
2. Pull out the seat belt holding
the latch plate. After checking
that there are no twists in the
belt, insert the latch plate into
the buckle until it clicks. If the
retractor locks before the latch
plate reaches the buckle, let
the belt retract slightly, then
withdraw it slower than before.
3. To reduce the risk of sliding
under the belt during a
collision, position the belt
across your lap as low on your
hips as possible and adjust it to
a snug fit by pulling the
"shoulder" portion upward
through the latch plate.
The lap-shoulder belt is
designed to lock during a
sudden stop or impact. At other
times it should move freely.
