PROPER SEAT BELT USE
This vehicle is equipped with three-
point lap and diagonal seat belts for
all occupants. Always make sure the
seat belts are secured for operator
and all passengers before
operating.
When the key is turned on, the seat
belt indicator lamp will illuminate if
the driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
To wear the seat belt properly, follow
this procedure:
1. Pull the seat belt latch
q
downward and across your chest toward the buckle
at the inner edge of the seat.
2. Slide the buckle
w
up the webbing as far as needed for the belt to reach
across your hips. The belt should fit snugly across your hips and diagonally
across your chest. Make sure the belt is not twisted.
3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
4. Release the strap, it will self-tighten.
5. To remove slack in the lap belt portion of the belt, pull upward on the
shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the buckle and pull the
lap belt slightly longer.
6. To release the seat belt, press the square red button in the buckle’s center. If
necessary, slide the buckle down the webbing to allow it to retract fully.
SEAT BELT INSPECTION
Inspect all seat belts for proper operation before each use of the vehicle.
1. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. The latch plate must slide
smoothly into the buckle. A click indicates that it's securely latched.
2. Push the red release latch in the middle of the buckle to make sure it
releases freely.
3. Pull each seat belt completely out and inspect the full length for any damage,
including cuts, wear, fraying or stiffness. If any damage is found, or if the seat
belt does not operate properly, have the seat belt system checked and/or
replaced by an authorized service dealer.
4. To clean dirt or debris from the seat belts, sponge the straps with mild soap
and water. Do not use bleach, dye or household detergents.
