4. If equipped with a shoulder belt

height adjuster, move it to the
height that is right for you.
See “Safety Belt Height Adjuster”
later in this section for
instructions on use and
important safety information.

5. To make the lap part tight, pull

up on the shoulder belt.

It may be necessary to pull
stitching on the safety belt
through the latch plate to
fully tighten the lap belt on
smaller occupants.

To unlatch the belt, push the button
on the buckle. The belt should
return to its stowed position.
Slide the latch plate up the safety
belt webbing when the safety belt is
not in use. The latch plate should
rest on the stitching on the safety
belt, near the guide loop on the
side wall.

Before a door is closed, be sure the
safety belt is out of the way. If a
door is slammed against a safety
belt, damage can occur to both the
safety belt and the vehicle.

Safety Belt Height Adjuster

The vehicle has a safety belt height
adjuster for the driver and right front
passenger positions.

Adjust the height so the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The belt
should be close to, but not
contacting, the neck. Improper
shoulder belt height adjustment
could reduce the effectiveness of
the safety belt in a crash. See How
to Wear Safety Belts Properly on
page 3‑12
