Seats should be adjusted before fastening 
the seat belts and while the vehicle is 
parked. Serious injury or death could result 
from a poorly adjusted seat belt.

158SAFETY  
Adjustable Anchorage
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you 
will prefer the shoulder belt anchorage in a 
lower position, and if you are taller than 
average, you will prefer the shoulder belt 
anchorage in a higher position. After you 
release the anchorage button, try to move it up 
or down to make sure that it is locked in 
position.
 Adjustable Anchorage
NOTE:
The adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage 
is equipped with an Easy Up feature. This 
feature allows the shoulder belt anchorage to 
be adjusted in the upward position without 
pushing or squeezing the release button. To 
verify the shoulder belt anchorage is latched, 
pull downward on the shoulder belt anchorage 
until it is locked into position.
WARNING!
Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could 
make your injuries in a collision much 
worse. You might suffer internal injuries, or 
you could even slide out of the seat belt. 
Follow these instructions to wear your seat 
belt safely and to keep your passengers 
safe, too.
Position the shoulder belt across the 
shoulder and chest with minimal, if any 
slack so that it is comfortable and not 
resting on your neck. The retractor will with -
draw any slack in the shoulder belt.
Misadjustment of the seat belt could 
reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt 
in a crash.
Always make all seat belt height adjust -
ments when the vehicle is stationary.
