The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index)\
so you can sit
up straight.

3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. On some models
you may hear a clicking sound
as the shoulder belt is pulled out or
when released back into the cover. This is the shoulder belt tension
reducing feature operating properly. Don’t let the belt get \
twisted.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.

Seats & Safety Belts
If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender”\
at the end of this
section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle faces upward or outward
so you
would be able to unbuckle it quickly if you ever had to.
The lap part of the belt should be low and snug on the hips, just touching
the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelv\
ic bones. And
you’d be less likely to slide under the lap belt.
If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause serious or even \
fatal
injuries. The shoulder belt should
go over the shoulder and across the chest.
These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks
if there’s a sudden stop or a crash.
Q: What’s wrong with this?
AM120015
A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It won’t give nearly as much protection this
way.
A You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a
- crash you would move forward too much, which could increase in\
jury.
The shoulder belt should
fit against your body.

The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same way \
as the driver’s safety belt.
See “Driver Position,” earlier in this section.
When the lap portion
of the belt is pulled out all the way, it will lock. If it
does, let it go back all the way and start again.
Center Passenger Position
(Except Wagon Models Second Seat)
If your vehicle has front and rear bench seats, someone can sit in the center
positions.

When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer removes the plugs from the
keys, and gives them to the first owner.
Each plug has a code on
it that tells your dealer or a qualified locksmith how
to make extra
keys. Keep the plugs in a safe place. If you lose your keys,
you’ll be able to have new ones made easily using these pl\
ugs.
