To move it down, pull on the
center adjuster control labeled
PULL. You can move the height
adjuster up just by pushing up on
the shoulder belt guide.
After the adjuster is set to the
desired position, try to move it down
without pushing in to make sure it
has locked into position.
Safety Belt Pretensioners
If the GVWR (Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating) of the vehicle
is below 3 855 kg (8,500 lb)
then the vehicle has safety belt
pretensioners for the front outboard
occupants. See Vehicle Load Limits
on page 9‑12 to locate the
certification label which contains
the GVWR.
Although the safety belt
pretensioners cannot be seen, they
are part of the safety belt assembly.
They can help tighten the safety
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. And, if the
vehicle has side impact airbags,
safety belt pretensioners can help
tighten the safety belts in a side
crash or a rollover event.
Pretensioners work only once.
If the pretensioners are activated in
a crash, the pretensioners and
possibly other parts of the safety
belt system will need to be replaced.
See Replacing Safety Belt System
Parts After a Crash on page 3‑24.
