• Pull each belt out fully, and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.
• Check that the latches work smoothly and the belts retract easily. If a belt does

not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the problem. Use only mild soap

and warm water. Do not use bleach or cleaning solvents. Make sure the belt is

completely dry before allowing it to retract.

Any belt that is not in good condition or working properly will not provide proper

protection and should be replaced as soon as possible.
A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level of

protection in a subsequent crash. Have your seat belts inspected by a dealer after

any collision.

Not checking or maintaining seat belts can result in serious injury or death if

the seat belts do not work properly when needed.
Check your seat belts regularly and have any problem corrected as soon as

possible.

WARNING

Fastening a Seat Belt

Adjust your seat to the proper position (see page 42), and then follow the below

steps.

1. Pull the seat belt out slowly.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then tug

on the belt to make sure the buckle is secure.

Make sure that the belt is not twisted or caught

on anything.

3. Position the lap part of the belt as low as possible

across your hips, then pull up on the shoulder

part of the belt so the lap part fits snugly. This lets

your strong pelvic bones take the force of a crash

and reduces the chance of internal injuries.

4. If necessary, pull up on the belt again to remove

any slack, then make sure that the belt rests

across the center of your chest and over your

shoulder. This spreads the forces of a crash over

the strongest bones in your upper body.

To release the belt, push the red PRESS button

then guide the belt by hand until it has retracted

completely.

Adjusting the Shoulder Anchor

The front seats have adjustable shoulder anchors to accommodate taller and

shorter occupants.

1. Move the anchor up and down while holding the

release buttons.

2. Position the anchor so that the belt rests across

the center of your chest and over your shoulder.
