Seat belts
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death in the event of an accident or sud-
den stop, all seatbacks should be kept in
the upright position while the vehicle is in
4
motion.
Seat belt performance during an accident
can be adversely affected if the seatbacks
are reclined. The more a seatback is
reclined, the more likely seat belt perfor-
mance will be adversely affected. If the
seat belt is not properly positioned against
the body during an accident, there is
increased risk you will slide under the belt
and receive serious injury or death.
2. Before using the center seat belt for sec-
ond row, make sure that the detachable
anchor is securely latched and the seat
belt is not twisted. For details, refer to
page 4-19.

3. Grasp the latch plate and slide it up the
webbing so that it easily pulls across your
body.
4. Pull the seat belt out slowly while holding
the latch plate. Push the latch plate into
the buckle until you hear a "click". Pull
up on the belt to be sure the latch plate is
locked securely in the buckle.
NOTE
If the seat belt locks up and cannot be pulled
out, pull it once with force and let it retract
all the way.
Then, pull the belt out slowly once again.
5. The lap part of the belt must always be
worn low and snug across the hips. Pull
up on the shoulder portion of the belt to
take up any slack in the lap belt.
