SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen.To remove slack in the lap
portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt.To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the
latch plate and pull on the lap belt.A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt
in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your
neck.The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• 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 meant to be used together.
• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could move
too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury.Wear your seat belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. In-
spect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts
must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt as-
semblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor,
torn webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices
that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.

led up properly.You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can
be thrown out of the vehicle.Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled
up properly.
