WARNING
For models with window-side belt guides, fastening your seatbelt with the shoulder belt twisted can increase the risk and severity of injuries in an accident. When attaching the shoulder belt to the belt guide, make sure that the shoulder belt is not twisted.
1. For models with window-side belt guides, to pass the seatbelt through the belt guide, draw out the seatbelt, insert one edge of the belt into the open gap in the belt guide, and then slide the rest of the belt in so that the entire belt fits inside the belt guide.
