WARNING:
- EACH SEATING POSITION IN THE VEHICLE HAS A SPECIFIC SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLY WHICH CONSISTS OF ONE BUCKLE AND ONE TONGUE. THE SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLY IS DESIGNED TO BE USED AS A PAIR AND IS NOT TO BE USED ACROSS SEATING POSITIONS.
- MAKE SURE THE LAP PORTION OF THE BELT IS FITTED SNUGLY AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE AROUND THE HIPS, NOT AROUND THE WAIST. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY INCREASE THE CHANCE OF INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION.


On outboard lap/shoulder safety belts, pull upon the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten the lap portion to a snug fit. Make sure the belt is as low on hips as possible.

NOTE: Rear center seat has an automatic lap retractor.

Center safety belts are equipped with manually adjusted lap belts for center seat occupants. Insert the safety belt tongue into the proper buckle until a snap is heard. Pull on both sides of safety belt to ensure the buckle is latched. Pull up on the loose end of the safety belt to tighten the lap portion to a snug fit. Make sure safety belt is as low on the hips as possible.
