Seat Belt - 3-Point Driver's Seat Belt with Emergency Locking Retractor

To fasten the seat belt:

To fasten the seat belt, pull the belt out of the retractor and insert the metal tongue (1) into the buckle (2). A click will be heard when the tongue latches into the buckle.

The seat belt automatically adjusts to the required length only after the lap belt portion is manually adjusted to fit snugly across the hips. If you lean forward slowly and gently, the belt will extend and allow you to move. However, during a sudden stop or impact, the belt will lock in place. It will also lock if you attempt to lean forward too quickly.

If you cannot pull the seat belt out of the retractor, pull the belt firmly and then release it. You will then be able to pull the belt out smoothly.

Height Adjustment

You can adjust the height of the shoulder belt anchor to one of 3 positions for maximum comfort and safety.

The height-adjustable seat belt should not be positioned close to the neck. The shoulder portion should be adjusted so that it lies across the chest and the middle of the shoulder, closest to the door, not across the neck.

To adjust the height of the seat belt anchor, lower or raise the height adjuster to the appropriate position.

To raise the height adjuster, pull it up (1). To lower it, press the height adjustment button (2) and push it down (3).

Release the button to lock the anchor in the desired position. Try to move the height adjuster to make sure it has locked in position. Never position the shoulder belt across the neck or face.

Improperly fastened seat belts may cause serious injury in a crash.

WARNING - Seat Belt Replacement

Replace seat belts after a crash. Failure to replace seat belts after a crash may leave you with damaged seat belts that will not provide protection in a subsequent collision.

WARNING. Shoulder Belt Positioning.

Never route the shoulder belt across your neck or face.

WARNING

The lap belt portion must be positioned as low as possible and snugly across the hips, not across the waist. If the lap belt is positioned too high on the waist, the likelihood of injury in a collision may increase. Neither hand should be placed under or over the belt. Rather, one hand should be above and the other below, as shown in the illustration.

Never fasten the seat belt under the arm next to the door.
