NOTE:
If BeltAlert has been deactivated and the driver or outboard
fron
t seat passenger (if equipped with outboard front
passenger seat BeltAlert) is unbuckled the Seat Belt
Reminder Light will turn on and remain on until the driver
and outboard front seat passenger seat belts are buckled.
Lap/Shoulder Belts
All
seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with lap/
shou
lder belts.
The seat belt webbing retractor will lock only during very
sudd
en stops or collisions. This feature allows the shoulder
part of the seat belt to move freely with you under normal
conditions. However, in a collision the seat belt will lock and
reduce your risk of striking the inside of the vehicle or being
thrown out of the vehicle.
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe
inj
uries in a collision. The air bags work with your seat
belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the air
bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt
even though you have air bags.
• In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much
greater injuries if you are not properly buckled up. You
can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passen
-
gers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be
sure
you and others in your vehicle are buckled up
properly.
• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside
of a
vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle
tha
t is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using
a s
eat belt properly. Occupants, including the driver,
should always wear their seat belts whether or not an
air bag is also provided at their seating position to
minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event
of a crash.
• Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could make your
inj
uries in a collision much worse. You might suffer
internal injuries, or you could even slide out of the seat
belt. Follow these instructions to wear your seat belt
safely and to keep your passengers safe, too.
