Stowing the rear safety belt
The rear safety belt buckles can be
stowed in the pocket between the
rear seatback and cushion when not
in use.
Proper use and care of the
safety belt system
To ensure that the safety belts pro-
vide the maximum protection, please
follow these instructions:
• Use the belts at all times - even on
short trips.
• If the safety belt is twisted, straight-
en it prior to use.
• Keep sharp edges and damaging
objects away from the belts.
• Periodically inspect belt webbing,
anchors, buckles and all other
parts for signs of wear and dam-
age. Replace damaged, excessive-
ly worn or questionable parts
immediately.
• To clean the belt webbing, use a
mild soap solution recommended
for cleaning upholstery or carpets.
Follow the instructions provided
with the soap.
• Do not make modifications or addi-
tions to the safety belt.
• After wearing a safety belt, make
sure it fully retracts to the stowed
position. Do not allow the belt to
get caught in the door when you
close it.

WARNING - Belt cleaning
Do not bleach or dye the web-
bing because this may weaken
the webbing fibers and allow
them to fail when restraining an
occupant in a collision.
