This could cause

very serious injuries in a crash.

See page

for additional

information about your seat belts
and how to take care of them.

If a seat belt does not seem to work
properly, it may not protect the
occupant in a crash.

Using a seat

belt that is not working properly can
result in serious injury or death.
Have your dealer check the belt as
soon as possible.

After all occupants have adjusted
their seats and put on seat belts, it is
very important that they continue to
sit upright, well back in their seats,
with their feet on the floor, until the
vehicle is parked and the engine is
off.

Sitting improperly can increase the
chance of injury during a crash. For
example, if an occupant slouches,
lies down, turns sideways, sits
forward, leans forward or sideways,
or puts one or both feet up, the
chance of injury during a crash is
greatly increased.

To unlatch the detachable seat belt
anchor before folding down the seat-
back, insert your ignition key into
the slot on the side of the anchor
buckle and allow the seat belt to
retract. For the center seating
positions, place the latch plate and
anchor latch into their holding slots
in the ceiling. For the third row outer
seating positions, re-fasten the belt
with the clip.
