2 . Insert a tongue plate or other hard pointed object into the slot in the anchor buckle on the right-hand side and push it in . The anchor tongue plate will then disconnect from the buckle .
3 . With the belt held by hand , allow the
retractor to roll up the belt slowly . You should hold the webbing end and guide it back into the retractor while it is rolling up . Neatly store the tongue plate in the recess on the ceiling and then insert the anchor tongue plate into the slot located at the front of the recess .
CAUTION
. Do not allow the retractor to roll up the seatbelt too quickly . Otherwise , the metal tongue plates may hit against the trim , resulting in damaged trim .
. Have the seatbelt fully rolled up so that the tongue plates are neatly stored . A hanging tongue plate can swing and hit against the trim during driving , causing damage to the trim .

To clean the seatbelts , use a mild soap and lukewarm water . Never bleach or dye the belts because this could seriously affect their strength .
Inspect the seatbelts and attachments including the webbing and all hardware periodically for cracks , cuts , gashes , tears , damage , loose bolts or worn areas . Replace the seatbelts even if only minor damage is found .
CAUTION
. Keep the belts free of polishes , oils , chemicals and particularly battery acid .
. Never attempt to make modifications or changes that will prevent the seatbelt from operating properly .
