• The shoulder portion
of
the front seat
· belt restraint
has
a "whic1e sensitive
retractor" which
is
designed
to
lock
ONLY during a sudden stop
or
impact.
At other times it
is
designed
to
move
freely with the person.
• For those who want it, a tension reliever
is built into the retractor
to
help reduce
discomfort.
To
use
the tension reliever
feature: (1)
Start
by
pulling the belt
outward a
few
inches and letting
it
go
so
it returns
to
the chest (Step
"A"
in the
figure) or lean FAR forward and then
back. (2) Then adjust the belt tension by
pulling down slightly on the shoulder
8
portion
of
the belt and letting
go
(Step
"B"
in
the figure), or lean forward
SLIGHTLY and then back. It
is
very
important
. that the
LEAST
amount
of
slack needed to relieve tension
be
chosen
when
using
the tension reliever
~
not
more than
30 millimetres (about one
inch).
• To release the tension reliever and get
rid of slack, pull the shoulder belt out
and let it retract.
Or lean far forward
and then back.
CAUTION:
Too much slack could
increase the amount
of
injury because
the belt would not be able to properly
restrain you in an accident.
Do
NOT
wear the shoulder portion of
the
belt
under the arm
or
out
of
position. Such
use
could increase the chance
of
injury
and/or the amount
of
injury in an
accident.
•
To
unfasten the belt, push in the button
in the center of the buckle .
•
When
no longer in use, front seat belts
can
be stowed by letting them rewind
into their retractors. The tension reliever
is
designed
to
release by itself when the
front door
is
opened, or when the belt
is
pulled out about 150 rnillimetres (six
inches). This lets belt
slack
be taken up
