Lap-Shoulder Belt 
The positions  next to the  windows  have  lap-shoulder  belts. Here’s how  to 
wear  one properly. 
L 
1. Pick  up  the  latch  plate  and  pull the belt  across you. (On some models, 
you may  hear a clicking  sound as the  belt is pulled out. The  clicking 
sound  is 
the shoulder  belt  tension  feature  operating  properly.)  Don’t  let 
the  belt  get  twisted. 
2. Push the latch  plate into the buckle until  it clicks. If the  belt  stops 
before it  reaches  the  buckle, 
tilt the  latch  plate  and  keep  pulling until 
you can  buckle it. 
Pull up on  the  latch  plate to make  sure it is  secure. 
If the  belt  is  not  long  enough, see  “Safety  Belt  Extender”  at  the  end of 
this section. 
Make sure 
the release  button  on  the  buckle  is  positioned so you would 
be  able 
to unbuckle  the  safety belt quickly if you  ever  had to.

Theft 
Vehicle  theft  is  big  business,  especially in some cities. Although  your 
vehicle  has  a number  of 
theft deterrent features,  we  know  that  nothing  we 
put  on  it can make 
it impossible  to steal.  However,  there  are ways  you  can 
help. 
Key in  the  Ignition 
If  you  walk  away  from your vehicle  with  the  keys  inside, it’s an easy  target 
for  joy  riders  or professional  thieves 
- so don’t  do it. 
When  you  park  your vehicle and  open  the  driver’s  door,  you’ll  hear  a tone 
reminding 
you to  remove your  key from  the  ignition and take it with  you. 
Always 
do this.  Your  steering  wheel  will  be  locked, and so will your 
ignition.  If  you have an automatic  transmission,  taking  your 
key out also 
locks your transmission.  And remember to  lock  the doors. 
Parking at Night 
Park in a lighted spot, close  all  windows  and  lock  your  vehicle.  Remember 
to keep  your  valuables out of sight.  Put  them in a storage area,  or take  them 
with  you.
