Owner's Manual
Buckle, position and release it the same way
as
the lap
part of a lap-shoulder belt.
If
the belt isn’t long enough,
see
“Safety Belt Extender’’ at the
end
of this section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle
is
positioned
so
you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly
if
you
ever had to.
Rear Seat Passengers
It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear
seat are hurt more often
in
crashes than those who are
wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can
be
thrown
out of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.
To
make the belt shorter, pull its free end as shown until
the belt
is
snug.
