Enter the vehicle and close the door. Sit back and adjust the seat.
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.
When the seat belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
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.
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.
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.
