2.
Fasten the three-point seat belt by pushing the
latch into the buckle. Listen for an audible click.
See
Fig. 5.31.
3.
Tug on the seat belt to make sure it is securely
fastened. If the buckle unlatches, repeat this
step. If the problem continues, replace the three-
point seat belt.
4.
Snug the seat belt to your waist.
5.
Position the shoulder strap diagonally across
your chest with the adjustable D-loop bracket (if
equipped). If desired, engage the comfort clip or
Sliding Komfort Latch as follows.
If equipped with a comfort clip, pull on the
shoulder strap to lessen the pressure of the strap
on your shoulder and chest. Allow no more than
1 inch (2.5 cm) of slack between your chest and
the shoulder harness. More slack can
significantly reduce the seat belt effectiveness in
an accident or a sudden stop. While holding the
belt slack, press the comfort clip lever up,
clamping the seat belt webbing as shown in
Fig. 5.32 and Fig. 5.33.
If equipped with a Sliding Komfort Latch, make
sure that the shoulder strap is snug against your
chest. Without loosening the shoulder strap,
push the Sliding Komfort Latch switch to the
"ON" position. See
Fig. 5.30. To activate the
latch lean forward until you hear a click. This will
allow for approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) of slack
between your chest and the shoulder harness.
Once engaged, the latch will allow you to lean
forward about 5 inches (13 cm) without having to
reset the latch. Leaning forward more than 5
inches (13 cm) will disengage the Sliding
Komfort Latch, requiring it to be reset.
6.
Unbuckle the three-point seat belt and release
the comfort clip or the Sliding Komfort Latch as
follows.
If equipped with a comfort clip, unbuckle the seat
belt, then release the comfort clip by giving the
shoulder belt a quick tug. If you lean forward
