If the height of the adjusting seat belt is
too near your neck, you will not be
getting the most effective protection.
The shoulder portion should be ad-
justed so that it lies across your chest
and midway over your shoulder nearest
the door and not your neck.
To adjust the height of the seat belt
anchor, lower or raise the height ad-
juster into an appropriate position. To
raise the height adjuster, pull it up. To
lower it, push it down whilst pressing
the height adjuster button.
Release the button to lock the anchor
into position. Try sliding the release
button to make sure that it has locked
into position.
WARNING:
o The height adjuster must be in the
locked position when the vehicle
is moving.
o The misadjustment of height of
the shoulder belt could reduce the
effectiveness of the seat belt in a
crash.

SEAT BELTS (3-Point Type)
To Fasten The Seat Belt
The seat belts are fastened by pulling
the belt buckle towards the seat belt
stalk and inserting the metal tongue of
the buckle into the stalk.
NOTE:
When pulling the seat belt buckle
towards the fastening position make
sure the webbing is not twisted.
The buckle should be firmly pressed
into the stalk until locked which will be
indicated by an audible "click".
The length of the seat belt webbing will
be automatically adjusted by the seat
belt mechanism to allow the wearer
maximum freedom of movement whilst
the belt is being worn. However, in the
event of rapid deceleration or impact,
the belt mechanism will automatically
lock.
The mechanism will also lock if the seat
belt webbing is withdrawn too quickly
when the belt is being fastened or if
attempts are made to withdraw the
webbing whilst the vehicle is not on
level ground. Should the seat belt lock
under these conditions, it will be pos-
sible to release the mechanism by al-
lowing a small amount of webbing to be
retracted and the belt withdrawn again.
