4. Position the seat belt acrossthe lap as low as possible on
the hips. Pull the fold-back end
of the belt (upper side) until the
belt is adjusted to a snug fit.
To Unfasten:
Push the button on the buckle to
unfasten the belt.
The center seat belt
(length-adjustable two-point belt) is
designed so that it cannot be
connected with any of the
windowside seat belts (three-point
seat belts with ELR).
Seat Belt Extender
If the vehicle's seat belt will fasten
around you, you should use it. But if
a seat belt isn't long enough to
fasten, your dealer can order you an
extender. When you go in to order it,
take the heaviest coat you will wear,
so the extender will be long enough
for you. The extender will be just for
you, and just for the seat in your
vehicle that you choose. Do not let
someone else use it, and use it only
for the seat it is made to fit. To wear
it, just attach it to the regular
seat belt.
Safety System Check
Now and then check that the belts,
buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and guide loops work
properly; look for loose parts or
damage (without disassembly) that
could keep the restraint system from
doing its job. Have a belt assembly
replaced if the webbing has been
cut or otherwise damaged. Replace
belts, retractors, and hardware used
in all but a minor collision. Also,
restraint systems should be replaced and anchorages properly
repaired if they were in areas
damaged by a collision, whether the
belt was in use or not. If there is any
question, replace the belt system.
Damage, whether visible or not,
could result in a serious personal
injury in the event of an accident.
Seat Belt Care
{Warning
Keep belts clean and dry.
Clean seat belts only with mild
soaps and lukewarm water.
Do not bleach or dye belts since
this may severely weaken them.
Seat belt webbing can lose its
strength when bleached or
redyed, or when cleaned using
gasoline, paint thinners or other
volatile substances.
Do not disassemble the seat belt
mechanism in order to remove
any foreign material or objects
