Sit up straight and always keep your feet on the floor infront of you. The lap part of the belt should be wornlow and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs.
In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bonesand you would be less likely to slide under the lapbelt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force onyour abdomen. This could cause serious or evenfatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over theshoulder and across the chest. These parts of the bodyare best able to take belt restraining forces.
The shoulder belt locks if there is a sudden stop orcrash.
2-18

Lap-Shoulder Belt
All seating positions in the vehicle have a lap-shoulderexcept for the center front passenger position(if equipped), which has a lap belt. SeeLap Belt onpage 2-32for more information.
The following instructions explain how to wear alap-shoulder belt properly.
1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is adjustable, so you cansit up straight. To see how, see “Seats” in the Index.
2. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.Do not let it get twisted.
The lap-shoulder belt may lock if you pull the beltacross you very quickly. If this happens, let the beltgo back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the beltacross you more slowly.
If the shoulder portion of a passenger belt is pulledout all the way, the child restraint locking featuremay be engaged. If this happens, just let the belt goback all the way and start again.
Engaging the child restraint locking feature in theright front seating position may affect the passengersensing system. SeePassenger Sensing Systemon page 2-67for more information.
3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
If the latch plate will not go fully into the buckle,check if the correct buckle is being used.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.If the belt is not long enough, seeSafety BeltExtender on page 2-33.
Position the release button on the buckle so that thesafety belt could be quickly unbuckled if necessary.

2-26

Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height adjuster for thedriver and right front passenger seating positions.

Press the releasebutton (A) and move theheight adjuster to thedesired position. Theadjuster can be moved upby pushing up on theshoulder belt guide.
After the adjuster is set to the desired position, try tomove it down without pressing the release buttonto make sure it has locked into position.
Safety Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for frontoutboard occupants. Although the safety beltpretensioners cannot be seen, they are part of thesafety belt assembly. They can help tighten the safetybelts during the early stages of a moderate to severefrontal or near frontal crash if the threshold conditions forpretensioner activation are met. And, if your vehiclehas side impact airbags, safety belt pretensioners canhelp tighten the safety belts in a side crash.
Pretensioners work only once. If the pretensionersactivate in a crash, they will need to be replaced, andprobably other new parts for the vehicle’s safetybelt system. SeeReplacing Restraint System PartsAfter a Crash on page 2-75.
