are located at the inboard rear of the seat. To increase lumbar
support, squeeze the bulb repeatedly until sufficient support is
obtained. To decrease support, press the small black button at
the base of the inflator bulb.
Seat Belts
Seat belts provide important safety and comfort for both
driver and passenger and have proven to be the single most
effective safety device in reducing the risk of death or injury in
a crash. The seat belts should be worn at all times, no matter
how short the journey. This is required by law in most states
and in all Canadian provinces. As a reminder, the seat belt tell
tale in the instrument cluster will flash until the driver's seat
belt is fastened, accompanied for the first eight seconds by an
audible chime.
Inertia Reel Seat Belts
The standard fitment inertia reel seat belts allow the wearer
freedom of movement under normal driving conditions. The belt
reel will lock automatically whenever the car is subjected to brak
-
ing, acceleration, or cornering forces, or on impact in a collision.
Reel locking will also occur on steep hills or slopes, or if the
car is tilted. In the event of a severe frontal impact sufficient to
trigger the airbag system, a pre-tensioning device incorporated
into each seat belt assembly will operate to tighten the belt for
increased occupant protection.
