When you sit in the center seating position, you have a lap safety belt, which has no retractor. The word CENTER is on both the buckle and latch plate. Also, the center buckle and latch plate are a different color than the two outboard buckles and latch plates. To make the belt longer, tilt the latch plate and pull it along the belt.

To make the belt shorter, pull its free end as shown until the belt is snug.

Buckle, position and release it the same way as the lap part of a lap-shoulder belt. If the belt is not long enough, see Safety Belt Extender .

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.
