Other information:
Take the towing hook and screwdriver
out of the tool bucket. Take the jack handle
out of the cargo area.
Cover the tip of a flat-head screwdriver
with vinyl tape or cloth so that it will not
scratch the bumper. Pry off the cover on
the rear bumper using a screwdriver, and
you will find a threaded hole for attaching
the towing hook...
Sit well back in the seat.
Pick up the tongue plate and pull the
belt out slowly. Do not let it get twisted.
If the belt stops before reaching the
buckle, return the belt slightly and pull it
out more slowly.
If the belt still cannot be unlocked, let
the belt retract slightly after giving it a
strong pull, then pull it out slowly again...
