WARNING
A safety belt that is improperly
routed, not properly attached,
or twisted will not provide the

sure that the safety belts are
properly routed and attached, and
are not twisted.
3. Reconnect the center safety belt
mini-latch to the mini-buckle. Do
not let it twist.
4. Pull on the safety belt to be sure
the mini-latch is secure.
