Knowing your vehicle

3. Insert the tongue plate (

) into the

open end of the buckle (

) until an

audible “click” is heard, indicating the
belt is locked in the buckle.

4. Position the lap portion (

) of the belt

across your lap as LOW ON THE HIPS
as possible to reduce the risk of sliding
under it during an accident. Adjust the
belt to a SNUG FIT by pulling up on
the shoulder portion (

) of the safety

belt. The belt retractor is designed to
take up excess webbing automatically
and to maintain tension on the belt. For
your safety, do not put any excess
slack into the safety belt at any loca-
tion.

5. Adjust the shoulder anchor position to

your size. To raise the anchor position,
push the anchor up. To lower the
anchor position, press the button and
slide the anchor down. After adjust-
ment, make sure the anchor is locked
in position.

If the height of the adjusting seat belt is
too near your neck, you will not be getting
the most effective protection. The shoul-
der portion should be adjusted so that it
lies across your chest and midway over
your shoulder nearest the door and not
your neck.
