It may be necessary to pull stitching on the safety
belt through the latch plate to fully tighten the lap
belt on smaller occupants.
To unlatch the belt, push the button on the buckle. The
belt should return to its stowed position. Slide the latch
plate up the safety belt webbing when the safety belt is
not in use. The latch plate should rest on the stitching
near the guide loop on the side wall.
Before a door is closed, be sure the safety belt is out of
the way. If a door is slammed against a safety belt,
damage can occur to both the belt and the vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height adjuster for the
driver and right front passenger seating positions.
Adjust the height so the shoulder portion of the belt is
on the shoulder and not falling off of it. The belt should
be close to, but not contacting, the neck. Improper
shoulder belt height adjustment could reduce the
effectiveness of the safety belt in a crash. See How to
Wear Safety Belts Properly on page 216.
Press the release
button (A) and move the
height adjuster to the
desired position. The
adjuster can be moved up
by pushing up on the
shoulder belt guide.
After the adjuster is set to the desired position, try to
move it down without pressing the release button to
make sure it has locked into position.
