SAFETY
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 comfort-
able and not resting on your neck. The retractor will
withdraw any slack in the shoulder 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.
First Row Center Seat Belt Operating
Instructions (Regular Cab Only)
The first row center seat belt (Regular Cab only) 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 seat 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 on the seat.

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 center red slot on the mini-buckle. The seat
belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If
necessary, 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.
