Seating and safety restraints Center position three-point safety belts If the lower end of the belt has been unbuckled, pull the belt steadily from the reel and insert the small tongue into the small buckle until a distinct "click" is heard. This buckle should be left buckled except when the seatback is folded down and cargo that might damage the seatbelt or get it dirty is being hauled. Pull the seat belt across the hips and insert the big (sliding) tongue into the appropriate buckle until a distinct "click" is heard. Should the center rear belt need to be unlatched from its anchorage, a thin probe is required to be inserted into the hole located on the underside of the floor mounted buckle. If the buckle and tongue are not reconnected, then the belt is not save to be used. Safety belt indicator light and warning chime Illuminates in the instrument cluster and a chime sounds to remind the occupants to fasten their safety belts. Alternative design 55
