Lap
Belt
If your vehicle has front and rear bench seats, someone
can sit in the center positions.
When you sit in a center seating position, you have a lap
safety belt, which has no retractor.
To
make the belt
longer, tilt the latch plate and pull it along the belt.
To
make the belt shorter, pull its free end as shown
until
the belt is snug.
Buckle, position and release it the same way as the lap
part
of
a lap-shoulder belt.
If
the belt isn’t long enough,
see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end
of
this section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned
so
you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly
if you ever had
to.
