Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t let it get twisted.
On convertible models, the shoulder belt may lock if
you pull the belt across you very quickly. If this
happens, let the belt
go
back slightly to unlock
it.
Then pull the belt across you more slowly.
4.
Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
If the belt stops before it reaches the buckle, tilt
the
latch plate and keep pulling until you can buckle
the belt.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
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 is
positioned
so
you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
