Seats & Resbaint Systems 1Rear Seat Passenger. It's very important for rear seat passengers to bucltle up! Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear seat arehurt 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 safetybelts. When you sit in a center seating position, you have a lap safety belt, which has no retractor.To make the belt longer, tilt the latch plate and pull it along the belt. To make the belt shorter, pull its free end as shown until the belt is snug. Bucltle, position and release it the same way as thelap part of a lap-shoulder belt. If the belt isn't long enough, see Safety BeZt Extender at the end of this section. Make sure therelease button on the bucltle is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever hadto. 28
