What is the 4th buckle for in the rear seats?

Hi..

I was playing with my seat configurations last night and noticed that there's an extra seat buckle on the rear seats behind the driver side. I haven't had time to look at the manual, but does anyone know what this buckle is for? I'll take a pic of it if no one knows what i'm talking about

It's for the seatbelt for the person sitting in the middle. The rear seat is supposed to fit 3 people. If you look carefuly, there are only two seatbelts. The third seatbelt is tucked up on the ceiling directly above. The last small buckle is to secure the seatbelt so that it becomes a 3point seatbelt. I can't explain how it works properly, but if you can find the seatbelt it's self explandotary.

I saw the middle seatbeat on the roof...but there's a 4th buckles on the seat behind the driver. Here's 2 quick pics I just took.

Notice the buckle on the far right of the pic?


Here's a pic of it closer. Any ideas

The roof belt has 2 parts. You first put the skinny part into the buckle in the last photo and then you reach over to the other buckle and clip in like a normal lap belt. That way the center person has an over the shoulder seat belt. I'm surprised your dealer didn't show you, it's kinda nifty.

I don't remember if the manual explains it but you might want to see if it does. It's hard to describe how to release the smaller clip from the buckle when you want to retract it to the roof.
