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.

To release the belt, push the red PRESS button then

the way and will not get caught by closing the door.

■Folding Down the Rear Seats
1Folding Down the Rear Seats
Remove any items from the rear seat cushion before 
you fold down the rear seat.
When you fold down one side of the rear seats and 
use the non-recessed part of the cargo area, make 
sure to secure the cargo. Loose items can fly forward 
and cause injury if you have to brake hard.
Make sure all items in the cargo area or items 
extending to the rear seats are properly 
secured. Loose items can fly forward if you have 
to brake hard.
Make sure that the folded seat-back does not press 
against the front passenger seat, as this can cause the 
weight sensors in the front passenger seat to work 
improperly.
