installing the center seat, colinect the right lap-shoulder 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 lap-shoulder
belt to the side
of the seat. The release hole should be facing outward.
NOTICE:
Be sure to put the correct seats back in the proper positions so
the safety belts will work properly.
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.
Head Restraints
Head restraints are fixed on some models and adjustable on others. Slide an
adjustable head restraint up
or down so that the top of the restraint is closest
to the top of your ears. This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a
crash.

This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also
tells you some things you should not do with safety belts.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint,

Don’t let anyone ride where he or she can’t wear a safety belt
properly.
If you are in a crash and you’re not wearing a safety
belt, your injuries
can be much worse. You can hit things inside
the vehicle or be ejected from it. You
can be seriously injured or
killed. In the same crash, you might not be if you are buckled
up. Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your
passengers’ belts are fastened properly too.
Your vehicle has a light that comes on as a reminder to buckle up. (See
“Safety Belt Reminder Light”
in the Index.)
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts.
Here’s why:
They work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don’t
know
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even
buckled up a person wouldn’t survive. But most crashes are in between. In
many of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk away.
Without belts
they could have been badly hurt or killed.
After more than
25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In
most crashes buckling up does matter ... a lot!
