Driving or riding in a vehicle
with a front seatback reclined
could lead to serious or fatal
injury in an accident. If a front
seat is reclined, the occupant’s
hips may slide under the lap
portion of the safety belt apply-
ing great force to the unprotect-
ed abdomen. Serious or fatal
internal injuries could result.
Keep the seatbacks in a com-
fortably upright position when-
ever the vehicle is in motion.

tioned.

4. Position the lap portion of the belt
across your lap as LOW ON THE
HIPS as possible to reduce the
risk of sliding under it during an
accident. Adjust the belt to a
SNUG FIT by pulling up on the
shoulder portion of the safety belt.
The belt retractor is designed to
take up excess webbing automati-
cally and to maintain tension on
the belt. For your safety, do not put
any excess slack into the safety
belt at any location.5. Adjust the shoulder anchor posi-
tion to your size. To raise the
anchor position, push the anchor
up (
1). To lower the anchor posi-
tion, press (
2) the button and slide
the anchor down (
3). After adjust-
ment, make sure the anchor is
locked in position.
If the height of the adjusting seat belt
is too near your neck, you will not be
getting the most effective protection.
The shoulder portion should be
adjusted so that it lies across your
chest and midway over your shoulder
nearest the door and not your neck.
