Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 

1. Enter the vehicle and close the door. Sit 

back and adjust the seat.

2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back 

of the front seat, and next to your arm in the 

rear seat (for vehicles equipped with a rear 

seat). Grab the latch plate and pull out the 

seat belt. Slide the latch plate up the 

webbing as far as necessary to allow the 

seat belt to go around your lap.

Pulling Out The Latch Plate

3. When the seat belt is long enough to fit, 

insert the latch plate into the buckle until 

you hear a “click.”

Inserting Latch Plate Into Buckle

4. Position the lap belt so that it is snug and 

lies low across your hips, below your 

abdomen. To remove slack in the lap belt 

portion, pull up 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 

seat belt reduces the risk of sliding under 

the seat belt in a collision.

Positioning The Lap Belt

A frayed or torn seat belt could rip apart in 

a collision and leave you with no protection. 

Inspect the seat belt system periodically, 

checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. 

Damaged parts must be replaced immedi

-

ately. Do not disassemble or modify the 

seat belt system. If your vehicle is involved 

in a collision, or if you have questions 

regarding seat belt or retractor conditions, 

take your vehicle to an authorized FCA 

dealer or authorized FCA Certified Collision 

Care Program facility for inspection.

WARNING!
