Seats and Restraints

Lap-Shoulder Belt

All seating positions in the vehicle
have a lap-shoulder belt. If you are
using a rear seating position with a
detachable safety belt and the
safety belt is not attached, see
“Reinstalling the Rear Seats”
under Rear Seats on page 3‑5 for
instructions on reconnecting the
safety belt to the mini-buckle.

The following instructions explain
how to wear a lap-shoulder belt
properly.

1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is

adjustable, so you can sit up
straight. To see how, see “Seats”
in the Index.

2. Pick up the latch plate and pull

the belt across you. Do not let it
get twisted.

The lap-shoulder belt may lock if
you pull the belt across you very
quickly. If this happens, let the
belt go back slightly to unlock it.
Then pull the belt across you
more slowly.

If the shoulder portion of a
passenger belt is pulled out all
the way, the child restraint
locking feature may be engaged.
If this happens, let the belt go
back all the way and start again.

3. Push the latch plate into the

buckle until it clicks.

Pull up on the latch plate to
make sure it is secure. If the belt
is not long enough, see Safety
Belt Extender on page 3‑23
.

Position the release button on
the buckle so that the safety belt
could be quickly unbuckled if
necessary.
