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.

The front seats have adjustable seat
belt anchors. To adjust the height of
an anchor, squeeze the two release
buttons, and slide the anchor up or
down as needed (it has four
positions).

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

After all occupants have adjusted
their seats and head restraints, and
put on their 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 safely parked and the
engine is off.

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.

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.
