3. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle for your seating position
until you hear a snap and feel it latch.

4. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened to the buckle by pulling on
the tongue.

The lap belt should fit snugly and as low as possible around the
hips, not across the waist.

Front and rear seat occupants, including pregnant women,
should wear safety belts for optimum protection in an accident.

Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific safety belt
assembly which is made up of one buckle and one tongue that

are designed to be used as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belt on the
outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under the arm. 2)
Never swing the safety belt around your neck over the inside shoulder.
3) Never use a single belt for more than one person.

While you are fastened in the safety belt, the combination lap/shoulder
belt with a cinch tongue adjusts to your movement. However, if you
brake hard, turn hard, or if your vehicle receives an impact of 8 km/h
(5 mph) or more, the safety belt will become locked and help reduce
your forward movement.

the correct buckle you should hear a snap and feel it latch.
