Second Row Center Seat Belt Operating
Instructions
The second row center seat belt may feature a
seat belt with a mini-latch plate and buckle. The
mini-latch plate and buckle (if equipped) should
remain connected at all times. If the mini-latch
plate and buckle become disconnected, they
must be properly reconnected prior to the rear
center seat belt being used by an occupant.
1. Grab the mini-latch plate and pull the seat
belt over the seat.

2. When the seat belt is long enough to fit,
insert the mini-latch plate into the
mini-buckle until you hear a “click.”

3. Sit back in seat. Slide the regular latch plate
up the webbing as far as necessary to allow
the seat belt to go around your lap.
4. When the seat belt is long enough to fit,
insert the latch plate into the buckle until
you hear a “click.”

5. Position the lap belt so that it is snug and
lies low across your hips, below your
abdomen. To remove slack in the lap belt
portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. To
loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, pull on
the lap belt. A snug seat belt reduces the
risk of sliding under the seat belt in a
collision.
6. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so
that it is comfortable and not resting on your
neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack
in the seat belt.
7. To release the seat belt, push the red button
on the buckle.
