automatically locks the belt to help

restrain your body.

The seat belts in all positions except

the driver’s have a lockable retractor

that must be activated to secure a

child seat (see page 47 ).

To unlock the belt, press the red

PRESS button on the buckle. Guide

the belt across your body so that it

retracts completely. After exiting the

vehicle, be sure the belt is out of the

way and will not get closed in the

door.

The lap/shoulder belt in the center

seating position on the rear seat is

equipped with a detachable seat belt

that has two parts: a small latch plate

and an anchor buckle.

If the shoulder part of the belt is

pulled all the way out, the lockable

retractor will activate. The belt will

retract, but it will not allow the

passenger to move freely.

The detachable seat belt should

normally be latched whenever the

seat-backs are in an upright position.

For more information about the

detachable seat belt, see page 109 .

To deactivate the lockable retractor,

unlatch the buckle and let the seat

belt fully retract. To refasten the

seat belt, pull it out only as far as

needed.

Additional Information About Your Seat Belts

Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners

The tensioners are designed to

activate in any collision severe

enough to cause the front airbags to

deploy, or if a sensor detects your

vehicle is about to roll over (see page

31 ).

Using the seat belt with the

detachable anchor unlatched

increases the chance of serious

injury or death in a crash.

Before using the seat belt,

make sure the detachable

anchor is correctly latched.

The tensioners can also be activated

during a collision in which the front

airbags do not deploy. In this case, the

airbags would not be needed, but the

extra tension in the seat belt could

be helpful.

For added protection, the front seat

belts are equipped with automatic

seat belt tensioners. When activated,

the tensioners immediately tighten

the belts to help hold the driver and

a front passenger in position.

When the tensioners are activated,

the seat belts will remain tight until

they are unbuckled.
