Rear Lap/Shoulder Belts





Pull the lap/shoulder belt from the retractor so the shoulder portion of the belt crosses the shoulder and chest. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until a snap is heard and the belt is latched. Pull up on the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten the lap portion to a snug fit. Ensure the belt is as low on the hips as possible.

The belt system allows freedom of movement, locking only on hard braking or impacts of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more. The system cannot be made to lock by jerking on the belt.

WARNING: USE THE SHOULDER BELT ON THE OUTSIDE SHOULDER ONLY. NEVER WEAR THE SHOULDER BELT UNDER THE ARM. NEVER SWING IT AROUND YOUR NECK OVER THE INSIDE SHOULDER. NEVER USE A SINGLE BELT FOR MORE THAN ONE PERSON. BE SURE THE LAP PORTION OF THE BELT IS FITTED SNUGLY AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE AROUND THE HIPS, NOT ON THE WAIST. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS COULD INCREASE THE CHANCE AND/OR SEVERITY OF INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT.
