Manual Override System
IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SAFETY
If the shoulder belt does not move rearward, or stops before reaching the "B" pillar position, perform the following steps before driving the vehicle:
1. Open and close door(s). Make sure door is fully closed.
2. Unbuckle the shoulder belt by pressing the red emergency release button on the buckle. After allowing belt webbing to retract slightly, re-secure the belt to the buckle. Insert the belt tongue until a click is heard and the latch is engaged.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then to the ON position, or open and close the door to re-cycle the automatic shoulder belt system.
4. If the shoulder belt does not move to the B-pillar, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and then using a coin or screwdriver, remove the cover at the lower end of the B-pillar interior trim panel and turn the override knob clockwise to move the shoulder belt manually until it stops at the B-pillar position.
5. If the shoulder belt still does not move to the B-pillar, the drive belt may be broken, or the motor drive gear stripped. Grasp the belt and pull it toward the B-pillar while turning the knob on the motor clockwise. This should get the belt to the lowest position on the B-pillar. This will allow the occupant to manually position the belt over the shoulder until the vehicle can be serviced.
CAUTION: If the shoulder belt will not move forward to the A-pillar position, press the red emergency release button on the buckle to exit the vehicle. Then check to see if the automatic fuel pump shut-oft switch has been tripped.
NOTE: The fuel pump shut-off switch shuts off power to the fuel pump and the passive restraint system.
WARNING: IF THE FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH IS NOT THE CAUSE FOR THE SHOULDER BELT NOT MOVING TO THE A-PILLAR POSITION, HAVE THE SYSTEM SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
