RWARNING
Passengers should not be allowed to ride
in the cargo area. Persons not riding in a
seat with a fastened seat belt are much
more likely to suffer serious injury in a
collision. Cargo should always be secured
to prevent it from shifting and causing
damage to the vehicle or harm to
passengers.
*
[SR02200(ALL)06/95]
RWARNING
Never wear the shoulder belt under the
arm. Never swing it around the neck over
the inside shoulder. Never use a single
belt for more than one person or across
more than one seating position. Each
seating position in your vehicle has a
specific safety belt assembly which is
made up of one buckle and one tongue
that are designed to be used as a pair.
Failure to follow these precautions could
increase the risk and/or severity of injury
in a collision.
*
[SR02350(ALL)06/95]
RWARNING
Never drive or ride with a twisted or
jammed safety belt. If you cannot untwist
or unjam the safety belt, see the nearest
qualified technician immediately.

as possible around the hips, not around
the waist.
[SR12640(ALL)06/95]
RWARNING
Be sure the lap belt is fitted snugly and as
low as possible around the hips, not
around the waist. Failure to do so may
increase the risk of injury in the event of
a collision.
[SR12660(ALL)06/95]
Before you fasten your lap belt, you may need
to lengthen it.
[SR12680(ALL)06/95]
To lengthen the belt, position the belt tongue at
a right angle to the belt. Pull the belt tongue
over your lap until it reaches the buckle.
*
[SR12690(ALL)06/95]
To fasten the belt, pull the belt across your hips
and insert the tongue into the correct buckle on
your seat until you hear a snap and feel it lock.
Make sure the buckle is securely fastened.
[SR12825(ALL)10/91]
Adjust the belt so that it fits snugly around your
hips, as low as possible.
[SR12850(ALL)10/91]
If you need to lengthen the belt, unfasten it and
repeat the procedure above. If you need to
shorten the belt, pull on the loose end of the
webbing.
[SR12875(ALL)12/89]
To unfasten the belt, push the release button on
the end of the buckle. This allows the tongue to
unlatch from the buckle. Because the center lap
belt does not have a retractor, it should be
shortened and fastened when not in use.
