To buckle:

Pull the belt out from the retractor far enough to insert the latch into the buckle until a distinct snapping sound is heard. The belt should not be twisted or turned.

Note: The lap belt should sit low and tight under abdomen.

To unfasten, depress red pushbutton in buckle and let the belts rewind into their retractors. Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into its retractor slot.

WARNING!

The seat back should not be tilted too far back. The shoulder belt must be taut in order to function properly.

The seat belt retractors are normally "unlocked".

The retractors will lock up as follows:

if belt is pulled out rapidly
