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.

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.
8. To disengage the mini-latch plate from the mini-
buckle, insert the regular latch plate into the
center red slot on the mini-buckle.
Detaching Mini-Buckle With Seat Belt Tongue
WARNING!
● If the mini-latch plat
e and mini-buckle are not
properly connected when the seat belt is used
by an occupant, the seat belt will not be able to
provide pr
oper restraint and will increase the risk
of injury in a collision.
● When reattaching the mini-latch plate and mini-
buckle, ensure the seat belt webbing is not
twisted. If the webbing is twisted, follow the
preceding procedure to detach the mini-latch
plate and mini-buckle, untwist the webbing, and
reattach the mini-latch plate and mini-buckle.

earing a seat belt.
Position the lap belt snug and low below the abdomen
and across the strong bones of the hips. Place the
shoulder belt across the chest and away from the neck.
