The seatbelt pretensioners at the front

seating positions are designed to tighten

the seatbelts when activated. In frontal

and near-frontal crashes, the seatbelt

pretensioners may be activated alone or,

if the crash is of sufficient severity, together

with the front airbags. The pretensioners

will activate when the Safety Canopy is

deployed.

Using the Sliding Clip (If Equipped)

FASTENING THE SEATBELTS

The front outboard and rear safety

restraints in the vehicle are combination

lap and shoulder belts.

Slide the clip away from the seatbelt

tongue so there is no loose webbing when

an occupant or child restraint is fastened.

You can also use the sliding clip to raise

the seatbelt tongue and prevent it from

rattling or to ease access to the seatbelt

tongue.

1. Insert the belt tongue into the proper

buckle (the buckle closest to the

direction the tongue is coming from)

until you hear a snap and feel it latch.

Make sure you securely fasten the

tongue in the buckle.

combination lap and shoulder belts. The

locking mode. The front outboard

WARNING: Always ride and drive

with your seatback upright and properly

fasten your seatbelt. Fit the lap portion

of the seatbelt snugly and low across

the hips. Position the shoulder portion of

the seatbelt across your chest. Pregnant

women must follow this practice. See

the following figure.

passenger and rear seat seatbelts have

both the vehicle sensitive locking mode

and the automatic locking mode.

Vehicle Sensitive Mode

This is the normal retractor mode, which

allows free shoulder belt length

adjustment to your movements and

locking in response to vehicle movement.

For example, if the driver brakes suddenly

or turns a corner sharply, or the vehicle

receives an impact of about 5 mph

(8 km/h) or more, the combination

seatbelts lock to help reduce forward

movement of the driver and passengers.

In addition, the retractor is designed to lock

if you pull the webbing out too quickly. If

the seatbelt retractor locks, slowly lower

the height adjuster to allow the seatbelt

to retract. If the retractor does not unlock,

pull the seatbelt out slowly then feed a

small length of webbing back toward the

stowed position. For rear seatbelts, recline

the rear seat backrest or push the seat

backrest cushion away from the seatbelt.

Feed a small length of webbing back

toward the stowed position.

Pregnant women should always wear their

seatbelt. Position the lap belt portion of a

combination lap and shoulder belt low

across the hips below the belly and worn

as tight as comfort allows. Position the

shoulder belt to cross the middle of the

shoulder and the center of the chest.

Automatic Locking Mode

Seatbelt Locking Modes

In this mode, the shoulder belt

automatically pre-locks. The belt retracts

to remove any slack in the shoulder belt.

The automatic locking mode is not

available on the driver seatbelt.

WARNING: You must replace the

seatbelt if the automatic locking

retractor or any other seatbelt function

is not operating correctly. Failure to

replace the seatbelt and retractor

assembly could increase the risk of injury

in a crash.
