Front Center Seat Belt
(No Retractor)

The lap belt does not adjust automati-
cally.

To fasten:

1. Grasp the tongue plate and pull it to

the desired length. To lengthen the
belt, hold the tongue at a right angle
to the webbing and pull; to shorten,
pull the loose end of the webbing.

2. Insert the tongue into the correct

buckle (the buckle closest to the
direction the tongue is coming from).

3. Pull slightly to ensure a proper con-

nection.

4. Adjust belt so that it fits snugly and as

low as possible around the hips.

To unfasten:

Depress the button on the buckle. Shorten
and fasten the belt when not in use.

Rear Lap Belts With
Retractors

The lap belt will adjust automatically.

To fasten:

Grasp the tongue, and with a continuous
motion, pull out enough webbing to
buckle the tongue into the correct
buckle. If you did not pull out enough
webbing to reach the buckle, allow the

tongue to retract fully before trying to
pull it out again. The lap belts should fit
snugly and as low as possible around the
hips, not around the waist.

If you need to lengthen the belt, unfasten
it and repeat the procedure above.

To unfasten:

Push in the release button prior to open-
ing the rear door.

NOTE

On 4-door cab plus vehicles, do not
open the rear door when the rear seat
belt is still buckled.
