The rear seats

Each rear seat is equipped with an adjustable lap
belt.

Operation: After sitting down and making
yourself comfortable, pull the longer section of the
belt across in front of you until the buckles meet,
insert the tongue of the outboard buckle into the
recess in the inboard buckle and press lightly
together. A click will be heard when the buckles
interlock. Be sure the belt is not twisted. Pull belt
through the buckle until belt fits snugly across the
pelvic area. Take up any slack by moving the slide.
To lengthen the belt, release buckle, hold buckle on
longer section at a right angle to belt and pull belt
through buckle. No further adjustment should be
necessary if the same person uses the seat belt
each time.

To release the belt, pull the unlocking lever on the
inboard buckle. Only a light pull and a small
movement of the lever is necessary.

Each seat

is also equipped with a third mounting point to
facilitate subsequent installation of combination
lap / shoulder belts.

12

Do not strap in more than one person
with each belt.

Cleaning: To keep belts clean, wash belts with
mild detergent without removing from vehicle. Dry
belts in the shade and do not allow lap belts to
retract until completely dry. Do not bleach or dye
the belts or use any other material to clean the
belts because some of these agents can weaken
the webbing.

Check buckles, retractors and finings periodically
to make sure they function correctly and belts to
ensure that the webbing has not been damaged.
