guide positions the shoulder belt
away from the neck and head.Here is how to install a comfort
guide to the safety belt:

storage clip on the interior body.

under the headrest on the
driver side of the vehicle. To access the comfort guide,
you will first need to move the
headrest forward by pulling on
the handle behind the seatback.
The comfort guide will now be
accessible.

death in a crash. To help make
sure the LATCH system is
working properly after a crash,
see your dealer to have the
system inspected and any
necessary replacements made
as soon as possible. If the vehicle has the LATCH system
and it was being used during a
