Seat Belts (cont'd)
Normal movement of the shoulder belt buckle may cause injury.
Be sure all parts of your body, especially fingers and hands, are
clear of the shoulder buckle while it is moving.
CAUTION:
If the sunvisor is positioned near the door area, movement of the
seat belt buckle can damage the sunvisor. Before opening or
closing a front door, turning the ignition on or removing the key
from the ignition, make sure the sunvisor is returned to its clip
above the windshield.
NOTE:
If the door is not closed completely, the shoulder belt buckle will
not move and the door warning light will come on (see page 25).
If the door is opened with the ignition on, the buckle will release
itself from its locked position and move forward.
If the shoulder belt buckle stops halfway or does not move at all,

3. Take hold of the lap belt's tongue plate and pull it from its
retractor. Be sure the belt is not twisted or caught on anything.
NOTE:
If pulled too fast, the belt will lock. If this happens, allow the belt to
retract then pull it out more slowly.
4. Push the tongue plate into the buckle until it clicks locked.
Position the belt across your lap, low on your hipbone and below
your abdomen. This way, if the car is involved in an accident you
would be less likely to slide under the seat belts.
TONGUE PLATE
Avoid placing the lap belt across your abdomen. In the event of
a collision, the pressure of the belt on the abdomen may
increase the extent of injury.
Never use one belt for more than one person, child or adult.
Comfort clips sold on the open market are not recommended
since they could impair the function and safety of the belts.
