Wearing the Front Seat Belts

The front seats have an automatic ("passive") restraint system
consisting of a shoulder belt, and a knee bolster, as well as a manual
lap belt. The belts have emergency locking retractors designed to
lock only during a sudden stop or impact. Otherwise, they allow you
some freedom of movement in the seat.
Always wear the lap belt in addition to the shoulder belt for full
protection. The shoulder belt portion should remain permanently
latched.
Operation
1. Enter the car and close the door
completely. Move the seat a
comfortable distance from the
steering wheel, sit as straight up
as possible and well back in the
seat.
2.Turn the ignition ON. The
shoulder belt buckle will move to
its rear locked position. The
lenght of the shoulder belt will
adjust automatically to your body
and seating position.
