Rear shoulder belt comfort guides may provide added safety belt comfort for older children who have outgrown booster seats and for some adults. When installed on a shoulder belt, the comfort guide positions the belt away from the neck and head.

There is one guide for each of the rear outside passenger positions. Here is how to install the comfort guide to the shoulder belt.

1. Find the comfort guide located on a storage clip between the interior body and the seatback or in a pocket sewn into the side of the seatback. Slide the guide off of its storage clip or out of the pocket.



2. Slide the guide under and past the belt. The elastic cord must be under the belt. Then, place the guide over the belt and insert the two edges of the belt into the slots of the guide.



3. The comfort guide may have an adjuster to lengthen or shorten the cord. If it does, you can adjust the cord by following these steps.

3.1.	Squeeze and hold the ends of the lock (A) on the elastic cord.

3.2.	Pull the loop to shorten the guide or pull the cord to lengthen the guide.

3.3.	Release the lock.




4. Be sure that the belt is not twisted and it lies flat. The elastic cord must be under the belt and the guide on top.

Caution: A safety belt that is not properly worn may not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces.




5. Buckle, position, and release the safety belt as described in Rear Seat Passengers . Make sure that the shoulder belt crosses the shoulder.

To remove and store the comfort guide, squeeze the belt edges together so that you can take them out of the guide. Slide the guide back onto its storage clip or into its storage pocket.
