SEATS AND RESTRAINTS 53
Always use the correct buckle for your
seating position.
Never route the lap or shoulder belt
over an armrest.

Warning
The seat belt can be pinched if it is
routed under plastic trim on the
seat, such as trim around the rear
seatback folding handle or side
airbag. In a crash, pinched seat
belts might not be able to provide
adequate protection. Never allow
seat belts to be routed under plastic
trim pieces.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
All seating positions in the vehicle
have a lap-shoulder belt.
The following instructions explain
how to wear a lap-shoulder belt
properly.
1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is
adjustable, so you can sit up
straight. To see how, see “Seats”
in the Index.
2. Pick up the latch plate and pull
the belt across you. Do not let it
get twisted.
The lap-shoulder belt may lock if
you pull the belt across you very
quickly. If this happens, let the
belt go back slightly to unlock it.
Then pull the belt across you
more slowly.
If the shoulder portio n of a
passenger belt is pulled out all
the way, the child restraint
locking feature may be engaged.
See Child Restraint Systems 0 73.
If this occurs, let the belt go back
all the way and start again. If the
locking feature stays engaged
