The belt should return to its stowed position.
Before a door is closed, be sure the belt is out of the
way. If a door is slammed against a safety belt, damage
can occur to both the safety belt and the vehicle.

driver and right front passenger seating positions.
Adjust the height so that the shoulder portion of the belt

move the height adjuster
to the desired position.
After the adjuster is set to the desired position, try to
move it down without pressing the release button
to make sure it has locked into position.
