3. Insert the belt tongue into the buckle on the inboard side
of the seat.

• Pull the shoulder section to make sure the belt fits
snugly across the chest.
• The shoulder belt must be positioned over the shoul-
der—it must never rest against the neck.
• Belts should fit snugly across the pelvis and chest.
Make sure any slack is wound up on the retractor.
To unfasten the belt:
Push in the release button on the buckle. The belt will spring
out of the buckle.
• To release a locked belt, lean back to take the body pres-
sure off of the belt.
• To store a lap-shoulder belt, allow the belt to wind up on
the retractor by guiding the belt tongue until the belt
comes to a stop.
Proper Safety Belt Adjustment
Your combination lap-shoulder belt may need adjustment.
Adjust safety belts properly.
• The lap belt should be worn as low and tight on the hips
as possible. Make sure any slack is taken up by the belt
mechanism.
• The shoulder belt should fit snugly across your body. It
should be positioned midway over the shoulder (nearer
to the door); it should never rest against your neck.
