Fastening Front and Rear Lap/Shoulder Safety Belts

After entering vehicle, adjust the front seat to obtain the best position for driving comfort, access to controls, and visibility. Then, use these procedure for fastening belts.

Pull the lap/shoulder safety belt from the retractor so that the shoulder portion of the belt crosses the shoulder and chest and insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until a snap is heard and a latch is felt. The inertia reel allows freedom of movement, locking tight only on hard braking, hard cornering, or impacts of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more. The reel cannot be locked by pulling quickly on the webbing.
