Seat belts with an adjustable shoulder anchor- Adjust the shoulder anchor position to your size. To adjust the anchor position, pull the knob out and slide it up or down. Release the knob and make sure the anchor is locked in position. Adjust the position of the lap and shoulder belts. Position the lap belt as low as possible on your hips-not on your waist, then adjust it to a snug fit by pulling the shoulder portion upward through the latch plate. To release the belt, press the bucklerelease button and allow the belt to retract. If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check for kinks or twists. Then make sure it remains untwisted as it retracts. ! CAUTION S High-positioned lap belts and loose-fitting belts both could increase the chance of injury due to sliding under the lap belt during an accident. Keep the lap belt as low on your hip bone as possible. S For your safety, do not place the shoulder belt under your arm. ! CAUTION Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an accident and increase the chance of injury. 24
