Unfastening the Seat Belts

Depress the button on the buckle.

To secure the outboard-rear seat belts 
when not in use, insert the belts in their 
seat belt retainers.

Shoulder Belt Adjuster

Adjust the height of the shoulder belt if 
the seat belt touches your neck, or if it 
crosses your arm instead of your shoulder. 
To raise the shoulder belt adjuster, push 
the adjuster up. To lower the shoulder belt 
adjuster, push the button and slide it 
down. Make sure the adjuster is locked.

NOTE

If a belt does not fully retract, inspect it 
for kinks and twists.

Retainer

Positioning the Shoulder Portion of 
the Seat Belt:
Improper positioning of the shoulder 
portion of the seat belt is dangerous. 
An improperly positioned belt will 
provide little or no protection in a 
collision. Always make sure the 
shoulder portion of the seat belt is 
positioned across your shoulder and 
near your neck, but never under your 
arm, on your neck, or on your upper 
arm.
