Seat Belt Operation

Three-Point Seat Belt with Komfort
Latch
WARNING
Wear three-point seat belts only as described be-
low. In case of an accident or sudden stop, injuries
could result from misuse. Three-point seat belts are
designed to be worn by one person at a time.
1. Before driving the vehicle, slowly pull the link end of
the three-point seat belt out of the retractor and pull
it across your lap (from outboard to inboard) far
enough to engage the buckle. If the retractor locks
too soon, allow the belt to retract slightly, then
slowly pull it out again.
2. Fasten the three-point seat belt by pushing the link
into the buckle until it latches. See
the belt a tug at the buckle. If the buckle unlatches,
repeat this step. If the problem continues, replace
the three-point seat belt.
3. Position the shoulder strap diagonally across your
chest. If desired, engage the Komfort Latch as fol-
lows:

Pull on the shoulder strap to lessen the pressure of
the strap on your shoulder and chest. Allow no
more than one inch (2.5 cm) of slack between your
chest and the shoulder harness. More slack can
significantly reduce the seat belt's effectiveness in
an accident or a sudden stop. While holding the
belt slack, press the Komfort Latch lever up, clamp-
ing the belt's webbing. See
