Lap Belts: The lap belt is designed to be worn by an accupant sitting well back in the seat and sitting erect. It should be worn as low as possible on the abdomen and fitted snugly across the hip bones. The belt should be adjusted as tightly as possible with comfort to reduce the risk of sliding under it. Slouching in the seat by sitting on the forward edge or lying down on the seat is not recommended, since there is a risk of sliding under the lap belt and incurring an injury.

When storing the buckle half of the front and rear lap belts, push buckle down onto bracket until click is heard. The retractors store the outboard belt tips and prevent them from falling to the floor or outside the car. Be sure that all of the webbing is unwound from the retractor when using belts. To prevent damage to the door panels do not allow the belt to snap into the retractor.

Warning: never use a lap or shoulder belt on more than one person at a time.

Shoulder Belts: The shoulder belt is warn in addition to the lap belt to restrain the upper part of the body. The method of adjusting the belt and the use of the buckle is the same as described for the lap belt. A small amount of slack should be left in the shoulder belt for greater comfort and mobility.

The shoulder belts for the driver and outboard passenger are stored along the roof line. To use: Release snap at rear end of belt, unfasten buckle from bracket, and adjust.

To Store Belt: Push buckle end onto bracket and pull loose end of belt untill you are able to snap fastener.

Warning: the shoulder belt is not to be used without a lap belt.

Optional rear seat shoulder belts can be installed by your dealer.

Care of Lap and Shoulder Belts: The nylon webbing used in the belts may be cleaned with a hydrocarbon dry cleaner and with soap or detergent in water. Avoid getting dry cleaners or water solutions into the buckle mechanism where they may attack the lubricant or cause corrosion. Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye belts. Resulting color may rub off and webbing strength may be affected.
