Adjusting the rear center facing jump seat lap belt (if equipped)
The lap belts for rear center facing jump seat occupants have automatic
retractors for the belt tongue and a fixed position buckle.
To fasten the belt, pull the belt all
the way across your hips and insert
the tongue into the buckle on your
rear door until you hear a snap and
feel it latch. Make sure the buckle is
securely fastened by pulling on the tongue.
Position the belt so that it fits snugly and as low as possible around
the hips.
If you need to lengthen the belt, unfasten it and repeat the procedure
above.
To unfasten the belt, push in the release button prior to opening the rear
door.
Safety belt extension assembly
If the safety belt assembly is too short, even when fully extended, 20 cm
(8 inches) can be added to the safety belt assembly by adding a safety
belt extension assembly (part number 611C22). Safety belt extension
assemblies can be obtained from your dealer at no cost.
Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safety
belt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of the webbing on
the label. Also, use the safety belt extension only if the safety belt is too
short for you when fully extended. Do not use extensions to change the
fit of the shoulder belt across the torso.
Safety belt warning light and indicator chime
The seat belt warning light illuminates in the instrument cluster and a
chime sounds to remind the occupants to fasten their safety belts.
