Note:
If a belt does not fully retract,
inspect it for kinks and twists. If it is still
not retracting properly, have it
inspected: contact an authorized
dealer.
Always wear the seat belt with it
correctly routed in its guide. Wearing a
seat belt without the seat belt routed in
its guide is dangerous because the
seat belt would not be able to provide
adequate protection in an accident,
which could result in serious injury.

Driver And Passenger
BeltAlert (If Equipped)
Seat Belt Warning Systems
The LED on dashboard trim turns on if
the driver or passenger's seat is
occupied and the seat belt is not
fastened with the ignition cycled to ON.
If the driver or passenger's seat belt is
unfastened (only when the passenger
seat is occupied) and the vehicle is
driven at a speed faster than about
12 mph (20 km/h), the
LED flashes.
After a short time, the LED stops
flashing, but remains illuminated.
If a seat belt remains unfastened, the
LED flashes again for a given period of
time. In this case, fasten the seat belt.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
For optimum protection, the driver and
passenger seat belts are equipped with
pretensioner and load limiting systems.
For both these systems to work
properly you must wear the seat belt
properly.
The seat belt pretensioners are
designed to deploy in moderate or
severe frontal, near frontal collisions. In
addition, during a side collision, the
pretensioner operates on the side in
which the collision occurs. The
pretensioners operate differently
depending on what types of air bags
are equipped. For details on the seat
belt pretensioner operation, refer to the
“SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria”
paragraph in this chapter.
When a collision is detected, the
pretensioners deploy simultaneously
with the air bags. For deployment
details, refer to the “SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria” paragraph in this
chapter.
