While your vehicle is in motion, the combination
lap and shoulder belt adjusts to your movement.

your vehicle receives an impact of 5 mph
(8 km/h) or more, the lap/shoulder belt locks
and helps reduce your forward movement.

and lock it. Then adjust the seat to the position
that suits you best.
[SR03700(ALL)07/95]
To fasten the belt, pull the combination
lap/shoulder belt from the retractor so that the
shoulder portion of the belt crosses your
shoulder and chest. Be sure the belt is not
twisted. If it is, remove the twist. Insert the belt
tongue into the proper buckle until you hear a
snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is
securely fastened to the buckle by pulling on
tongue.
