Service manual

Buckle, position and release it the same way as the lap part of a
lap-shoulder belt.
If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender”
at the end
of this section.
Make sure the release button
on the buckle faces upward or outward so
you would be able to unbuckle it quickly if you ever had to.
REAR SEAT PASSENGERS
It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up! Accident
statistics show that unbelted people in the rear seat are hurt more often
in crashes than those who are wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown out of the vehicle
-
in a crash. And they can strike others in the vehicle who are wearing
safety belts.
