Adults 
This part is only for people  of adult  size. 
Be aware  that there are  special things to 
know about 
safety  belts and children.  And there are different 
rules 
for smaller children  and babies.  If a child  will be riding 
in  your  vehicle,  see the part  of  this manual  called 
“Children.” Follow those  rules for everyone’s protection. 
First,  you’ll want  to know which restraint  systems your 
vehicle has. 
We’ll start  with the  driver  position. 
Driver Position 
This part describes  the driver’s  restraint  system. 
Lap-Shoulder Belt 
The  driver  has a lap-shoulder  belt. Here’s  how to wear 
it properly. 
1. Close and lock  the door. 
2. Adjust the seat  (to  see  how, see  “Seats” in the  Index) 
so you can sit up straight. 
3. 
4. 
Pick  up the latch  plate  and pull the belt across you. 
Don’t  let it get twisted. 
Push 
the latch plate  into the buckle until it clicks. 
Pull up 
on the latch plate  to make  sure it is secure. 
If the belt isn’t 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.

the retractor 
to set the  lock. 
6. To tighten the belt,  feed the shoulder  belt back 
into  the retractor while  you push  down  on the 
child restraint. 
7. Push  and pull  the child restraint  in different 
directions to 
be sure  it is secure. 
To remove the child restraint,  just unbuckle the vehicle’s 
safety belt and  let it go  back all the  way. The safety  belt 
will  move freely again and be ready  to work  for  an  adult 
or  larger child passenger.

A CAUTION: 
Unlocked doors  can  be dangerous. 
Passengers 
-- especially  children -- can easily 
open  the  doors  and fall  out.  When 
a door is 
locked,  the inside handle  won’t open it. 
Outsiders  can easily  enter  through  an  unlocke 
door  when  you  slow  down or stop  your  vehicle 
This 
may not be so obvious:  You increase  the 
chance  of being  thrown  out  of the  vehicle  in 
a 
crash  if the  doors  aren’t  locked. Wear safety b 
properly, lock your  doors,  and you  will  be  far 
better  off whenever  you drive  your vehicle. 
To lock the door  from  the 
inside,  slide the  lever 
on 
your door down. 
To unlock the door, slide 
the lever up.

Power Door Locks (Option) 
There  are  several  ways to lock  and unlock  your  vehicle. 
From the outside,  use your  key.  Press the bottom 
side 
of the 
power  door lock switch 
to 
lock the doors  at once. 
When 
a door  is locked,  the inside door handle  will  not  work.
