To release the belt, press the buckle release button and allow the belt to retract. If
the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check for kinks or twists. Then
make sure it remains untwisted as it retracts.
Never insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from
properly latching the tab and may cause damage to the buckle mechanism,
thereby making the seat belt ineffective in an accident, resulting in serious
personal injury.
5.9 Child Restraints
Use a child restraint system only if the child is not big enough to properly wear the
seat belts. Else, use the regular seat belt instead of the child restraint system. Seat
the child in the rear seat and use the seat belt. According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
Always secure a child in a proper child restraint system in accordance with age and
size of the child as recommended by the child restraint system manufacturer.
