76 Seating and Safety Restraints
Seat Belt Height Adjuster
Before you fasten your seat belt, it is important that the seat is
in the proper position for driving and the seat belt height
adjuster is set for your height so that the top of the seat belt is
just over the shoulder of the wearer.
To set the seat belt height adjuster:
1. Push the buttons in on both
sides of the adjuster as shown.
2. Slide the adjuster up or down
to find the proper seat belt
height. Release the buttons
and the adjuster will click into
place. There are four level
settings on the adjuster. If you
release the buttons between
levels, the adjuster will click
into place at the lower level.
Once the height is adjusted, you
can fasten the seat belt.
To fasten the belt, pull the shoulder harness strap and lap belt
across your body and fasten the latch plate to the belt buckle.
Ensure the seat belt is not twisted in any way.
Adjust the seat belt by pulling the shoulder harness strap
through the latch plate. Remove the slack by gently pulling
down on the shoulder harness strap and releasing.
To unfasten the seat belt, push the release button on the belt
buckle and release the latch plate.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
Your MV-1 is equipped with a seat belt pretensioner for the
driver’s seating position.
The seat belt pretensioner removes some slack from the safety
belt at the start of a crash. The seat belt pretensioner uses the
same crash sensor as the front air bag system. When the seat
belt pretensioner deploys, the lap and shoulder belts are tight-
ened.
The driver’s safety belt system (including retractors, buckles
and height adjusters) must be replaced if the vehicle is
involved in a collision that results in deployment of the front
air bag and safety belt pretensioners.
REASON: Failure to replace the seat belt assembly
under the above conditions could result in serious bodily
injury or death in the event of a collision.
