Adjusting the shoulder belt

Lap portion of the seat belt should sit low

To buckle:

Pull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle (buckle for rear seats) until a

distinct snapping sound is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely,

provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far. The retractor will lock up as follows:

● if the belt is pulled out rapidly

● during braking and acceleration

● if the vehicle is leaning excessively

● when driving in turns

For the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn correctly.

When wearing the seat belt remember:

● The belt should not be twisted or turned.

● The lap belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen).

● The shoulder section of the front seat belts adjusts automatically to the driver's height.

Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut.

Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled.

If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot.

NOTE: Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage.
