4. To make the lap part tight, pull up on the
shoulder belt.
To unlatch the belt, push the release
p
ushbutton on the buckle. The belt should
return to its stowed position.
Always stow the seat belt slowly. If the seat
belt webbing returns quickly to the stowed
position, the retractor may lock and cannot be
pulled out. If this happens, pull the seat belt
straight out firmly to unlock the webbing, and
then release it. If the webbing is still locked in
the retractor, see your dealer.
Before adoor is closed, be sure the seat belt is
out of the way. If adoor is slammed against
aseat belt, damage can occur to both the seat
belt and the vehicle.
Seat Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has seat belt pretensioners for
the front outboard occupants. Although the
seat belt pretensioners cannot be seen, they
are part of the seat belt assembly. They can
help tighten the seat belts during the early
stages of amoderate to severe frontal, near
frontal, or rear crash if the threshold conditions
for pretensioner activation are met. Seat belt
pretensioners can also help tighten the seat
belts in aside crash or arollover event.
Pretensioners work only once. If the
p
retensioners activate in acrash, the
pretensioners and probably other parts of
the vehicle seat belt system will need to be
replaced. See Replacing Seat Belt System Parts
after aCrash 346.
Do not sit on the outboard seat belt while
entering or exiting the vehicle or at any time
while sitting in the seat. Sitting on the seat belt
can damage the webbing and hardware.
Rear Seat Belt Comfort Guides
Rear seat belt comfort guides may provide
added seat 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 shoulder belt away
from the neck and head.
Comfort guides are available through your
dealer for the rear outboard seating positions.
Instructions are included with the guides.
Seat Belt Use During Pregnancy
Seat belts work for everyone, including
pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are
more likely to be seriously injured if they do not
wear seat belts.
