Unbuckle the combination lap and shoulder belt and allow it to retract completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the vehicle sensitive locking mode.
Extracting Seatbelts in the Rear Outermost Seat Positions
Seatbelts in the rear outermost positions can lock if you firmly return the seat backrest to its upright position. You can unlock the seatbelts using the following procedures.
For vehicles where the rear seats recline:
- Recline the seat to its full rear recline position.
- The seatbelt should then unlock.
- Return the seat backrest to its desired upright position.
For vehicles with rear seats that do not recline or are locked with the seat in its full rear recline position:
- Grasp the seatbelt webbing at the top of the seat backrest.
- Pull the seatbelt webbing forward, firmly.
- After pulling the seatbelt forward, allow the seatbelt to feed back into the seatbelt retractor as much as possible. If necessary, press the seat backrest down to allow the seatbelt webbing to retract further.
- The seatbelt should then unlock.
- If the seatbelt does not unlock, repeat steps 1-3.
