Unbuckle the three-point seat belt and release
the Komfort Latch or the Sliding Komfort Latch
as follows.
If equipped with a Sliding Komfort Latch, un-
buckle the seat belt, then tug on the shoulder
belt to release the Sliding Komfort Latch, or
press the Sliding Komfort latch to the "OFF" po-
sition, then unbuckle the seat belt.
If equipped with a Komfort Latch, unbuckle the
seat belt, then release the Komfort Latch by giv-
ing the shoulder belt a quick tug. If you lean for-
ward against the shoulder belt, the Komfort Latch
will automatically release, and will need to be
reset.
NOTE: Neither the Komfort Latch nor the Sliding
Komfort Latch need to be manually released in
an emergency situation. Each will release by
itself under rough road or other abnormal condi-
tions. Make sure the three-point seat belt is
completely retracted when it is not in use.
Three-Point Seat Belt
NOTE: For vehicles equipped with the Komfort
Latch or the Sliding Komfort Latch, see the seat
belt operation under the heading "Three-Point
Seat Belt With Komfort Latch or Sliding Komfort
Latch."
WARNING
Wear three-point seat belts only as described
below. Three-point seat belts are designed to be
worn by one person at a time. In case of an acci-
dent or sudden stop, personal injury or death
could result from misuse.
Fasten the seat belts before driving. Fastening a
three-point seat belt while driving creates a haz-
ard.
1.
Slowly pull the link end of the three-point seat
belt out of the retractor and pull it across your
lap (from outboard to inboard) far enough to en-
gage the buckle. If the retractor locks too soon,
allow the belt to retract slightly, then slowly pull it
out again. See
Fig. 6.10.
2.
Fasten the three-point seat belt by pushing the
latch into the buckle. Listen for an audible click.
