Unfastening the center rear lap safety belt
NOTE: Be sure to read and understand Important
Safety Belt Information in this chapter.
Pull the belt across your hips and insert the tongue
into the correct buckle on your seat until you hear
a snap and feel it lock. Make sure the buckle is
securely fastened.
If you need to lengthen the belt, unfasten it and tip
the belt tongue at a right angle to the belt. Pull the
belt tongue over your lap until it reaches the
buckle.
If you need to shorten the belt, pull on the loose
end of the webbing until the belt fits snugly.
To unfasten the belt, push the release button on
the buckle. This allows the tongue to unlatch from
the buckle.
Safety Belt Extension Assembly
For some people, the safety belt may be too short
even when it is fully extended. You can add about
eight inches (20 cm) to the belt length with a
safety belt extension assembly (part number
611C22). Safety belt extensions are available at no
cost from your dealer.
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 extension to change the fit of
the shoulder belt across the torso.
