Fastening The Seat Belt - Subaru 1998 Forester Owner's Manual

CAUTION
Metallic parts of the seat belt can become very hot in a vehicle
that has been closed up in sunny weather; they could burn an oc-
cupant. Do not touch such hot parts.
The 2-point type seat belt has a manual adjustment device.
J Fastening the seat belt
1. Before sitting in the seat, adjust both seatbacks to the upright posi-
tion.
2. Sit well back in the seat and pick up the tongue plate marked "CEN-
TER". Be careful not to twist the belt.
3. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle marked "CENTER" until you
hear a click. The tongue plate marked "CENTER" can be fastened only
into the buckle marked "CENTER". If the belt is not long enough for you,
hold the tongue plate at a right angle to the belt and pull the belt to ex-
tend.
4. To make the belt tight, pull up on the belt. And place the lap belt as
low as possible on your hips, not on your waist.
