NOTE:
The adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage is
equipped with an Easy Up feature. This feature
allows the shoulder belt anchorage to be adjusted in
the upward position without pushing or squeezing
the release button. To verify the shoulder belt an-
chorage is latched, pull downward on the shoulder
belt anchorage until it is locked into position.
WARNING!
• Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could make
your injuries in a collision much worse. You
might suffer internal injuries, or you could
even slide out of the seat belt. Follow these
instructions to wear your seat belt safely and to
keep your passengers safe, too.
• Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder
and chest with minimal, if any slack so that it is
comfortable and not resting on your neck. The
retractor will withdraw any slack in the shoul-
der belt.
• Misadjustment of the seat belt could reduce
the effectiveness of the safety belt in a crash.
• Always make all seat belt height adjustments
when the vehicle is stationary.
Seat Belt Extender
If a seat belt is not long enough to fit properly, even
when the webbing is fully extended and the adjust-
able upper shoulder belt anchorage (if equipped) is
in its lowest position, an authorized dealer can pro-
vide you with a Seat Belt Extender. The Seat Belt
Extender should be used only if the existing seat
belt is not long enough. When the Seat Belt Ex-
tender is not required for a different occupant, it
must be removed.
WARNING!
• ONLY use a Seat Belt Extender if it is physi-
cally required in order to properly fit the origi-
nal seat belt system. DO NOT USE the Seat
Belt Extender if, when worn, the distance be-
tween the front edge of the Seat Belt Extender
buckle and the center of the occupant's body
is LESS than 6 inches.
• Using a Seat Belt Extender when not needed
can increase the risk of serious injury or death
in a collision. Only use the Seat Belt Extender
when the lap belt is not long enough and only
use in the recommended seating positions.
Remove and store the Seat Belt Extender
when not needed.
Seat Belts And Pregnant Women
Pregnant Women And Seat Belts
Seat belts must be worn by all occupants including
pregnant women: the risk of injury in the event of an
accident is reduced for the mother and the unborn
child if they are wearing a seat belt.
Position the lap belt snug and low below the abdo-
men and across the strong bones of the hips. Place
the shoulder belt across the chest and away from the
neck. Never place the shoulder belt behind the back
or under the arm.
