WARNING

Fastening the seatbelt with the webbing twisted can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident. When fastening the belt after it is pulled out from the retractor, especially when inserting the anchor tongue plate into the mating buckle( on right-hand side), always check that the webbing is not twisted.

. Be sure to fasten both tongue plates to the respective buckles. If the seatbelt is used only as a shoulder belt( with the anchor tongue plate not fastened to the anchor buckle on the right-hand side), it cannot properly restrain the wearer in position in an accident, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
. Before fastening the seatbelt, confirm that the seatbelt is routed through the center belt guide. A seatbelt not routed through the center belt guide can cause neck injuries during sudden braking or in a collision, since it may slip up on the neck.
