Seat Belt Park Stitch — If Equipped
The rear outboard seat belts may be equipped with a park
stitch to raise the latch plate for easier access to occupants.
If the park stitch interferes with the tight installation of a
child restraint, slide the latch plate over the stitching to
shorten the lap portion of the belt and install the car seat
following the steps above. When the car seat is removed
from the vehicle, slide the latch plate above the park stitch
to enable occupants to latch the seatbelt securely.
If the park stitch interferes with the lock-off features of the
child restraint, do not use the lock-off feature. Instead,
switch the seat belt to the locking mode, as described in the
steps above or move the car seat to a different seating
position.
