Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage - Jeep Patriot 2011 Operating Information Manual

WARNING! (Continued)
• A twisted belt will not protect you properly.
In a collision, it could even cut into you. Be
sure the belt is straight. If you can't
straighten a belt in your vehicle, take it to
your authorized dealer immediately and
have it fixed.
5. 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 belt.
6. To release the belt, push the red button on
the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to
its stowed position. If necessary, slide the latch
plate down the webbing to allow the belt to
retract fully.

WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in an
accident and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically, checking
for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts
must be replaced immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system. Seat belt as-
semblies must be replaced after an accident if
they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.).

In the rear seat, move toward the center of the
seat to position the belt away from your neck.
