Fastening the Seatbelts
WARNING:
The wearing of a seatbelt is a mandatory requirement. Seatbelts should be properly fastened and adjusted before the vehicle is driven. Adjust the driver's seat position before fastening the seatbelt.
WARNING:
Make sure that the seatbelts are securely stowed away when not in use and not outside your vehicle when closing the doors. |
It may lock if you pull it sharply or if your vehicle is on a slope. Pull the belt out steadily.
Press the red button on the buckle to release the belt. Hold the tongue and let it retract completely and smoothly to its stowed position.
Using a Sliding Clip (If Equipped)
Slide the clip away from the tongue so there is no loose webbing when an occupant or child seat is buckled up. You can also use the sliding clip to raise the tongue and prevent it from rattling or to ease access to the tongue.
Using Seatbelts During Pregnancy

WARNING:
Always ride and drive with your seatback upright and properly fasten your seatbelt. Fit the lap portion of the seatbelt snugly and low across the hips. Position the shoulder portion of the seatbelt across your chest. Pregnant women must follow this practice. See the following figure. |
Pregnant women should always wear their seatbelt.The lap belt portion of a combination lap and shoulder belt should be positioned low across the hips below the belly and worn as tight as comfort will allow. The shoulder belt should be positioned to cross the middle of the shoulder and the center of the chest.
