Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Lap Portion


The lap portion of the front outboard belts adjusts automatically.

Pull up on the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten the lap portion to a snug fit. Be sure the belt is as low on hips as possible. If the shoulder safety belt is uncomfortably tight, a comfort regulator is provided in the shoulder belt retractor to reduce belt pressure against chest. The shoulder safety belt can be adjusted much like a window shade to maintain a small amount of slack in the belt. The adjacent door must be closed to use this comfort regulator feature.
