3.Position the lap part of the belt as low as 
possible across your hips, then pull up on 
the shoulder part of the belt so the lap part 
fits snugly. This lets your strong pelvic 
bones take the force of a crash and reduces 
the chance of internal injuries.
4.If necessary, pull up on the belt again to 
remove any slack, then check that the belt 
rests across the center of your chest and 
over your shoulder. This spreads the forces 
of a crash over the strongest bones in your 
upper body.
The front seats have adjustable shoulder anchors to accommodate taller and shorter 
occupants.
1.Move the anchor up and down while 
holding the release button.
2.Position the anchor so that the belt rests 
across the center of your chest and over 
your shoulder.
1Fastening a Seat Belt
To release the belt, push the red PRESS button then 
guide the belt by hand until it has retracted 
completely.
When exiting the vehicle, be sure the belt is out of 
the way and will not get caught by closing the door.

Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible 
while allowing you to maintain full control of 
the vehicle. You should be able to sit upright, 
well back in the seat and be able to 
adequately press the pedals without leaning 
forward, and grip the steering wheel 
comfortably. The passenger’s seat should be 
adjusted in a similar manner, so that it is as far 
back from the front airbag in the dashboard 
as possible.
