Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt is not long enough, seeSafety Belt

end of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder belt.

The belt should go back out of the way.
Before you close the door, be sure the belt is out of the
way. If you slam the door on it, you can damage
both the belt and your vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjustment
Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt height
adjuster to the height that is right for you.
Adjust the height so that the shoulder portion of the belt
is centered on your shoulder. The belt should be
away from your face and neck, but not falling off your
shoulder.
To move it down, push
down on the button (A)
and move the height
adjuster to the desired
position. You can move the
height adjuster up by
pushing up on the shoulder
belt guide.
After you move the height adjuster to where you want it,
try to move it down without pushing the button down
to make sure it has locked into position.
