3. The height of the seat belts in the front seats
can be adjusted.
Press the button on the seat belt holder and move the belt up or down. Position the belt as high as possible without it chafing against the neck.
The belt should be positioned closely against the inside of the shoulder (against the collarbone, not down overthe arm).
4. Tighten the lap section of the seat belt overthe hips by pulling the diagonal section upward toward the shoulder.
The lap section of the seat belt should be positioned low on the hips (not against the abdomen).
WARNING
Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion ofthe belt under the arm, behind the back orotherwise out of position. Such use couldcause injury in the event of an accident. Asseat belts lose much of their strength whenexposed to violent stretching, they should bereplaced after any collision, even if theyappear to be undamaged.
WARNING
Do not use clips or fasten the belts around hooks or other parts of the interior. This willprevent the seat belt from fitting properly.
WARNING
