The rear seat belt buckles can be stowed in the pocket between the rear seatback and cushion when not in use.
The center seat belt can be stowed with the plate and webbing rolled in the pocket between the rear seatback and cushion.
Routing the seat belt webbing through the rear seat belt guides will help keep the belts from being trapped behind or under the seats.

After inserting the seat belt, tighten the belt webbing by pulling it up.

CAUTION

Take the seatbelt out of the seatbelt guide prior to using it. If you pull the seat belt when it is stored in the guides, it may damage the guides and/or the belt webbing.
