To store the lap/shoulder belt, guide the
belt tongue to its stowed position behind
the assist strap on the door post. For the
passenger's comfort, the retracting
forces of the belt are relatively low and
winding up of the belt may be slow. Make
sure the belt is fully wound up on the
retractor.
Make sure the belt of the unoccupied
passenger seat
is
fully wound up on its
retractor so that the belt tongue is in its
stowed position on the doorpost. This
reduces the possibility of its becoming
a striking object in case of a sudden stop.
Do not drive
with
the rear seat cushion
removed and the backrest folded down.
In
the folded-down position, the backrest
may interfere with
Ihe
operation of the
front safety belts.
Safety belts for rear seats
The rear seats are equipped
with
lap
belts with an automatic retractor. If you
have pulled out too much of the
belt,
the retracting mechanism will take up
the slack until the belt fits snugly
across your lap and
will
stay locked
in
this position.
