System
Components
Your seat belt system includes
lap/
shoulder belts
in
both seating
positions.
The
seat belts are also equipped with
automatic seat belt tensioners.
~
The
system also includes a
l±J
light on the instrument
panel to remind you and your
passenger to fasten your belts.
If
the
driver's seat belt is not fastened

ON (II),
the
light
will
come on and a beeper
will also sound.
The
beeper
will
stop
after a few seconds,
but
the light
will
stay on until the driver's seat belt is
fastened.
Additional Information About
Your
Seat Belts
Lap/Shoulder
Belt
This
seat belt has a single belt that
goes over your shoulder, across your
chest and across your hips.
To
fasten
the
belt, insert the latch
plate into the buckle, then tug on the
belt to make sure the buckle is
latched.
To
unlock the belt, push the red
PRESS button on the buckle. Guide
the belt across your body to the door
pillar. After exiting the car, be sure
the belt is out of
the
way and
will
not
get
closed
in
the
door.
Both seat belts have an emergency
locking retractor.
In normal driving,
the
retractor lets
you move freely
in
your seat while it
keeps some tension on the belt.
During a collision or sudden stop,
the retractor automatically locks the
belt to help restrain your body.
The
passenger's seat belt has an
additional locking mechanism that
must be activated to secure a child
seat. (See page
27
for instructions on
how to secure a forward-facing child
seat with this type of belt.)
If
the shoulder part of the belt is
pulled
all
the way out, the locking
mechanism will activate.
The
belt
will
retract, but it
will
not allow the
passenger to move freely.
