Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
To connect the extender to the seatbelt, insert the
tongue plate into the seatbelt buckle so that the
“PRESS” signs on the buckle-release buttons of the
extender and the seatbelt are both facing outward as
shown in the diagram. You will hear a click when the
tongue plate locks into the buckle.
When releasing the seatbelt, press on the buckle-re-
lease button on the extender, not on the seatbelt. This
helps to prevent damage to the vehicle interior and ex-
tender itself.
For the safety of others, the extender should be re-
moved after each use, especially if the next person us-
ing the seatbelt does not need one.
Front seatbelt pretensioners
The driver’s and front passenger’s seatbelts have a
seatbelt pretensioner. The seatbelt pretensioners are
designed to be activated in the event of an accident in-
volving a moderate to severe frontal collision.
Also, the seatbelt pretensioners are designed to be
activated in the event of an accident involving a mod-
erate to severe side impact collision.
The pretensioner sensor also serves as the frontal and
side SRS airbag sensors. If the sensors detect a cer-
tain predetermined amount of force during a frontal
collision or a side impact collision, the front seatbelt is
