loose–fitting belts both could in-

sliding under the lap belt during an
accident or other unintended result.
Keep the lap belt as low on your
hips as possible.

To release the belt, press the buckle–re-
lease button and allow the belt to re-

make sure it remains untwisted as it re-
tracts.

REAR CENTER SEAT BELT (WITH
FOLD–DOWN SEAT)
The rear center seat belt is a 3–point type
restraint with 2 buckles. Both seat belt
buckles must be correctly located and se-
curely latched for proper operation
Make sure the buckle 1 (with light gray
buckle–release button) is securely latched
for ready use of the center seat belt.
The buckle 1 should be separated only
when the rear left seatback is folded
down, if the luggage loaded in the en-
larged trunk will damage the webbing of
the rear center seat belt. (See “Fold–down
rear seat” in this section for the instruc-
tion of how to correctly connect the seat
belt.)
