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
.

To move it down, pull on the center
adjuster control labeled PULL. You
can move the height adjuster up just
by pushing up on the shoulder belt
guide.

After the adjuster is set to the
desired position, try to move it down
without pushing in to make sure it
has locked into position.
