5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is

comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retrac-
tor will withdraw any slack in the belt.

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 it to retract fully.

WARNING!

A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision 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 a collision 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.
