Understanding the Features of Your Vehicle
6. To release the belt, push the red button on the buckle. If
necessary, slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow it to
retract fully.
WARNING!
• A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not
protect you properly. The lap portion could ride too high
on your body, possibly causing internal injuries. Always
buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you.
• A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well. In a
sudden stop you could jerk too far forward, increasing
the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
• A belt that is worn under your arm is very dangerous.
Your body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle
in a collision, increasing the possiblity of head and neck
injury. A belt worn under the arm can cause internal
injuries. Ribs are not as strong as shoulder bones. Wear
the belt over your shoulder so that your strongest bones
will absorb the force in a collision.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you
from injury during a collision. You are more likely to hit
your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder
belt. The lap and shoulder belt are to be used together.
