T
he seat belt can be pinched if it is routed
un
der 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 provide adequate protection.
Never allow seat belts to be routed under
plastic trim pieces.
{ Warning
Y
ou can be seriously injured or killed if the
sh
oulder belt is worn behind your back,
under your legs, or wrapped around your
neck. The shoulder belt can tighten but
cannot be loosened if it is locked. The
shoulder belt locks when it is pulled all the
way out of the retractor. It unlocks when
the shoulder belt is allowed to go all the
way back into the retractor, but it cannot do
this if it is wrapped around you. You may
have to cut the seat belt if it is locked and
tightened around you.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
Al
l 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 portion of apassenger belt
is pulled out all the way, the child restraint
locking feature may be engaged. See Child
Restraint Systems 361. If this occurs, let
the belt go back all the way and start again.
If the locking feature stays engaged after
letting the belt go back to stowed position
