Seating and safety restraints The lap belts should fit snugly and as low as possible around the hips, not around the waist. If you need to lengthen the belt, unfasten it and repeat the procedure above. To unfasten the belt, push in the release button prior to opening the rear door. Safety belt extension assembly If the safety belt assembly is too short, even when fully extended, 20 cm (8 inches) can be added to the safety belt assembly by adding a safety belt extension assembly (part number 611C22). Safety belt extension assemblies can be obtained from your dealer at no cost. Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safety belt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of the webbing on the label. Also, use the safety belt extension only if the safety belt is too short for you when fully extended. Do not use extensions to change the fit of the shoulder belt across the torso.
