Knowing your vehicle
Safety belt restraint system
We strongly recommend that the
driver and all passengers be proper-
ly restrained at all times by using the
safety belts provided with the vehi-
cle. Proper use of the safety belts
decreases the risk of severe injury or
death in accidents or sudden stops.
All seats (including or except the
center rear seat) have lap/shoulder
belts. Inertial locks in the safety belt
retractors allow all of the lap/shoul-
der safety belts to remain unlocked
during normal vehicle operation. This
allows the occupants some freedom
of movement and increased comfort
while using the safety belts. If a force
is applied to the vehicle, such as a
strong stop, a sharp turn, or a colli-
sion, the safety belt retractors will
automatically lock the safety belts.
Since the inertial locks do not require
a collision in order to lock up, you
may become aware of the safety
belts locking while braking or going
around sharp corners.
Always use the rear seat position(s)
to install your child restraint(s).
Never install a child restraint system
in the front passenger position, as an
inflating airbag could cause serious
or fatal injury to a child in that posi-
tion.
WARNING - Safety belts
To minimize the risk of serious
or fatal injury in an accident, the
driver and all passengers
should use the appropriate
safety restraints for their age
and size. The presence of
airbags does not change the
need to be properly restrained
by a safety belt or size-appropri-
ate child restraint. In fact,
airbags are designed to work
the best when passengers are
correctly restrained in the vehi-
cle. Be sure you are familiar
with the information in this sec-
tion, including the information
on infant and child restraints.
Read the safety warnings on the
sun visors of your vehicle also.
