Instructions
Second Row Seat Belts
1 — Seat Belt Buckle
2 — Seat Belt Latch Plate
3 — Mini Latch Plate
4 — Mini Seat Belt Buckle
5 — Mini Buckle Release
The second row center seat belt features a seat
belt with a mini-latch plate and buckle, which
allows the seat belt to detach from the lower
anchor when the seat is folded. The mini-latch
plate and regular latch plate can then be stored
out of the way in the parcel tray for added
convenience to open up utilization of the storage
areas behind the front seats when the seat is not
occupied.
1. Remove the mini-latch plate and regular latch
plate from its stowed position in the right rear
side trim panel.
2. Grab the mini-latch plate and pull the seat
belt over the seat.
3. Route the shoulder belt to the inside of the
right head restraint.
4. When the seat belt is long enough to fit, insert
the mini-latch plate into the mini-buckle until
you hear a "click."
5. Sit back in seat. Slide the regular latch plate
up the webbing as far as necessary to allow
the seat belt to go around your lap.
6. When the seat belt is long enough to fit, insert
the latch plate into the buckle until you hear
a "click."
7. Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies
low across your hips, below your abdomen. To
remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up
on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if
it is too tight, pull on the lap belt. A snug seat
belt reduces the risk of sliding under the seat
belt in a collision.
8. 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 seat belt.
9. To release the seat belt, push the red button
on the buckle.
10. To disengage the mini-latch plate from the
mini-buckle for storage, insert the regular
latch plate into the black button on the top of
the mini-buckle. The seat belt will automati-
cally retract to its stowed position. If neces-
sary, slide the latch plate down the webbing
to allow the seat belt to retract fully. Insert the
mini-latch plate and regular latch plate into
its stowed position.
Detaching Mini-Buckle With Seat Belt Tongue
WARNING!
If the mini-latch plate and mini-buckle are

not properly connected when the seat belt is
used by an occupant, the seat belt will not be
able to provide proper restraint and will
increase the risk of injury in a collision.
