WARNING
The center lap belt latching mecha‐
nism is different from those for the
rear seat shoulder belts. When fas‐
tening the rear seat shoulder belts
or the center lap belt, make sure
they are inserted into the correct
buckles to obtain maximum protec‐
tion from the seat belt system and
assure proper operation.
Stowing the rear seat belt
The rear seat belt buckles can be stow‐
ed in the pocket between the rear
seatback and cushion when not in use.
Pre-tensioner seat belt (if
equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with pre-ten‐
sioner seatbelts at the front and rear
outboard seating positions. The pur‐
pose of the pre-tensioner is to make
sure that the seat belts fit tightly
against the occupant's body in certain
collisions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
may be activated in crashes where the
collision is severe enough.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if
the occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. In certain frontal colli‐
sions, the pre-tensioner will activate
and pull the seat belt into tighter con‐
tact against the occupant's body.
If the system senses excessive tension
on the driver or passenger's seat belt
when the pre-tensioner activates, the
load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will
release some of the pressure on the af‐
fected seat belt. (if equipped)
WARNING
For your safety, be sure that the
belt webbing is not loose or twisted
and always sit properly on your seat.
