Center Rear Passenger Position Hatchback Only

If you have a hatchback model, your vehicle has a retractable safety belt in the center rear seating position.

Here is how to use the center rear safety belt.

1. Pull the center rear safety belt from the retractor.
2. Push the latch plate at the end of the safety belt strap into the buckle with the black release button until the mechanism clicks. Make sure the safety belt webbing is not twisted. The sliding latch plate will face the front of the vehicle.
3. Pick up the sliding latch plate and pull the belt across you. Do not let it get twisted.

The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt across you very quickly. If this happens, let the belt go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you more slowly.

4. Push the latch plate into the red buckle marked CENTER.

If the belt stops before it reaches the buckle, tilt the latch plate and keep pulling until you can buckle it.

Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.

Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.

5. To make the lap part tight, pull down the buckle end of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder part.
