To remove and store the comfort guide, squeeze the belt edges together so that you can take them out of the guide. Pull the guide upward to expose its storage clip, and then slide the guide onto the clip. Turn the guide and clip inward and in between the seatback and interior body, leaving only the loop of elastic cord exposed. 4. Buckle, position, and release the safety belt as described in Rear Seat Passengers on page 33. Make sure that the shoulder belt crosses the shoulder. 39
