Seat belt restraint system
WARNING
ORS031127
Improperly positioned seat belts may
increase the risk of serious injury in an
accident. Take the following precautions
when adjusting the seat belt:
• Position the lap portion of the seat belt
as low as possible across your hips, not
on your waist, so that it fits snugly. This
allows your strong pelvic bones to
absorb the force of a collision, reducing
the chance of internal injuries.
• Position one arm under the shoulder
belt and the other over the belt, as
shown in the illustration.
• Always position the shoulder belt
anchor into the locked position at an
appropriate height.
• Never position the shoulder belt across
your neck or face.
3-20
Driver's seat belt – 3-point system
with emergency locking retractor
To fasten your seat belt:
OHI038140
Pull the seat belt out of the retractor and
insert the metal tab (1) into the buckle (2).
An audible "click" sounds when the tab
locks into the buckle. Make sure the seat
belt is not twisted.
OHI038137
Place the lap belt (1) portion across your
hips and the shoulder belt (2) portion
across your chest.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length after the lap belt portion is
adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. If you lean forward in a
slow, easy motion, the belt extends and
moves with you.
If there is a sudden stop or collision, the
belt is locked in place. It also locks if you
try to lean forward too quickly.
