Description & Operation

The metal tab (B) is inserted in the buckle (C) which is firmly fastened to the upper rear edge of door. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 . The other end of the belt is wound automatically on the Web Locking Retractor (A) under the seat. When you open the front doors it extends the belt from the retractor and provides access to the interior. When the door is closed, the belt automatically places itself diagonally across the chest. The seat belt automatically adjusts to the proper length. If you lean forward in a slow, easy motion, the belt will extend and let you move around. If there is a sudden stop or impact, however, the belt will lock into position. It will also lock if you try to lean forward too quickly.

If required, press the emergency release button on the buckle (C) marked PRESS EMERGENCY. When it is released, the belt tab (B) should automatically draw back into the retractor.
