To lower it, push it down (3) while press-
ing the height adjuster button (2).

into position. Try sliding the height
adjuster to make sure that it has locked

may increase the risk of serious
injury in an accident. Take the fol-
lowing precautions when adjusting
the seat belt:
Position the lap portion of the
seat belt as low as possible
across your hips, not on your
waist, so that it fits snugly.
Position one arm under the
shoulder belt and the other over
the belt, as shown in the illustra-
tion.(Continued)
