WARNING
僅 Verify the shoulder belt anchor is
locked into position at the appropriate
height. Never position the shoulder
belt across your neck or face.
僅 After a collision, the seat belt system
should be inspected to ensure it is
operating normally. Replace any belts
that are not functioning appropriately.
CAUTION
Do NOT fold down the left portion of the
rear seatback when the rear centre seat
belt is buckled. ALWAYS UNBUCKLE the
rear centre seat belt before folding down
the left portion of the rear seatback. If
the rear centre seat belt is buckled when
the left portion of the rear seatback is
folded down, distortion and damage to
the top portion of the seatback and seat
belt garnish may result, causing the
seatback to lock into the folded down
position.
The seat belt should be locked into the
buckle on each seat cushion to be prop-
erly fastened.

When using the rear centre seat belt, the
buckle with the "CENTER" mark must be
used.
