Inserting Latch Plate Into Buckle
WARNING!
• A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle
will not protect you properly. The lap portion
could ride too high on your body, possibly
causing internal injuries. Always buckle
your belt into the buckle nearest you.
• A belt that is loose will not protect you
properly. In a sudden stop you could move
too far forward, increasing the possibility of
injury. Wear your seat belt snug.
WARNING! (Continued)
• A belt that is worn under your arm is
dangerous. Your body could strike the in-
side surfaces of the vehicle in an accident,
increasing head and neck injury. A belt
worn under the arm can cause internal
injuries. Ribs aren't as strong as shoulder
bones. Wear the belt over your shoulder so
that the strongest bones will take the force
in a collision.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not
protect you from injury during an accident.
You are more likely to hit your head in a
collision if you do not wear your shoulder
belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to
be used together.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs,
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, tilt the latch
plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt
reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in an

accident.
NOTE:
The Seat Belt Reminder Light will remain on
until the driver's seat belt is buckled.

Removing Slack from Belt
WARNING!
• A lap belt worn too high can increase the
risk of internal injury in an accident. The
belt forces won't be at the strong hip and
pelvic bones, but across your abdomen.
Always wear the lap belt as low as possible
and keep it snug.
