6. To release the belt, push the red button on the buckle.

The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position.

If necessary, slide the latch plate down the webbing to

allow the belt to retract fully.

WARNING!

A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in an accident and
leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system
periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not
disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assem-
blies must be replaced after an accident if they have
been damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.).

Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure
Use the following procedure to untwist a twisted lap/

shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the

anchor point.

2. At about 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate,

grasp and twist the belt webbing 180 degrees to create a

fold that begins immediately above the latch plate.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded webbing.

The folded webbing must enter the slot at the top of the

latch plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it clears the

folded webbing.
