5. Position the shoulder belt across the 

shoulder and chest with minimal, if any 

slack so that it is comfortable and not 

resting on your neck. The retractor will 

withdraw any slack in the shoulder belt.

6. To release the seat belt, push the red button 

on the buckle. The seat belt will automat

-

ically retract to its stowed position. If 

necessary, slide the latch plate down the 

webbing to allow the seat belt to retract 

fully.

Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure  

Use the following procedure to untwist a twisted 

lap/shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close as 

possible to the anchor point.

2. At about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) above 

the latch plate, grab and twist the seat belt 

webbing 180 degrees to create a fold that 

begins immediately above the latch plate.

3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded 

webbing. The folded webbing must enter 

the slot at the top of the latch plate.

4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it 

clears the folded webbing and the seat belt 

is no longer twisted.

Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage  

In the driver and outboard front passenger 

seats, the top of the shoulder belt can be 

adjusted upward or downward to position the 

seat belt away from your neck. Push or squeeze 

the anchorage button to release the anchorage, 

and move it up or down to the position that 

serves you best.

Adjustable Upper Anchorage

As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you 

will prefer the shoulder belt anchorage in a 

lower position, and if you are taller than 

average, you will prefer the shoulder belt 

anchorage in a higher position. After you 

release the anchorage button, try to move it up 

or down to make sure that it is locked in 

position.

NOTE:

The adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage 

is equipped with an Easy Up feature. This 

feature allows the shoulder belt anchorage to 

be adjusted in the upward position without 

pushing or squeezing the release button. To 

verify the shoulder belt anchorage is latched, 

pull downward on the shoulder belt anchorage 

until it is locked into position.

WARNING!

Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could 

make your injuries in a collision much 

worse. You might suffer internal injuries, or 

you could even slide out of the seat belt. 

Follow these instructions to wear your seat 

belt safely and to keep your passengers 

safe, too.
