installing the center seat, connect the right lapshoulder belt to the
attachment on the seat cushion. If you have a safety belt guide on your
seat, pull the belt through the guide before reattaching the lapshoulder
belt to the side of the seat. The release hole should be facing outward.
If you installed the safety belt with the release hole facing inward
(toward the seat), slide the plastic cover up
so you can see the buckle.
Disconnect the seat belt. Slide the cover back down and reinstall the
belt correctly.
NOTICE:
Be sure to put the correct seats back in the proper positions so
the safety belts will work properly.
Head Restraints
If your vehicle has the optional touring package, you have adjustable head
restraints.

Slide the head
restraint up or down
so that the top of the
restraint is closest to
the top of your ears.
This position reduces
the chances
of a neck
injury in a crash.
