Lap-Shoulder Belt

All seating positions in the vehicle have a lap-shoulder
belt. If you are using a rear seating position with a
detachable safety belt and the safety belt is not
attached, see Rear Seat Operation on page 1-6 for
instruction on reconnecting the safety belt to the
mini-buckle.

The following instructions explain how to wear a
lap-shoulder belt properly.

1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is adjustable, so you can

sit up straight. To see how, see “Seats” in the Index.

2. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.

Do not let it get twisted.

The lap-shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt
across you very quickly. If this happens, let the belt
go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt
across you more slowly.

If the shoulder portion of a passenger belt is pulled
out all the way, the child restraint locking feature
may be engaged. If this happens, let the belt
go back all the way and start again.

3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.

Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt is not long enough, see Safety Belt
Extender
on page 1-30.

Position the release button on the buckle so that
the safety belt could be quickly unbuckled if
necessary.

4. If equipped with a shoulder belt height adjuster,

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