rests tightly against the vehicle seat.  
It may be necessary to lift or remove the  
head restraint. See Head restraints

seat, it may prove difficult to tighten the  
lap section of the seat belt without slack  
remaining. If this is the case, adjust the  
seatback to the fully upright position and  
raise the height of the seat. See Seats  
(page 89).
