Power Sounder,
Inclination Sensor, and
Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard
theft-deterrent system
features, this system may also
have a power sounder,
inclination sensor, and
intrusion sensor.
The power sounder provides
an audible alarm which is
distinct from the vehicle’s
horn. It has its own power
source, and can sound an
alarm if the vehicle’s battery is
compromised.
The inclination sensor can set
off the alarm if it senses
movement of the vehicle, such
as when a tire is removed.
Make sure the vehicle's alarm
is not armed prior to any
jacking. The intrusion sensor monitors
the vehicle interior, and can
activate the alarm if it senses
unauthorized entry into the
vehicle's interior. Do not allow
passengers or pets to remain
in the vehicle when the
intrusion sensor is activated.
Before arming the
theft-deterrent system and
activating the intrusion sensor:
.Make sure all doors and
windows are completely
closed.
.Secure any loose items such
as sun glasses.
.Make sure there are no
obstructions blocking the
sensors in the front
overhead console.

Lap-Shoulder Belt
All seating positions in the
vehicle have a
lap-shoulder belt.
If you are using a rear seating
position with a detachable
seat belt and the seat belt is
not attached, see Rear Seats
047 for instructions on
reconnecting the seat belt to
the mini-buckle.
The following instructions
explain how to wear a
lap-shoulder belt properly.
1. If the seat has a seat belt guide, the seat belt must
be routed through the
guide to properly position
the shoulder belt. If the
seat belt is not routed
through the guide, slide
the edge of the belt
webbing through the
opening on the guide. Be
sure the belt is not twisted. 2. Adjust the seat, if the seat
is adjustable, so you can sit
up straight. To see how,
see “Seats” in the Index.
3. Pick up the latch plate and
pull the belt across you. Do
not let it get twisted.
The lap-shoulder belt may
lock if you pull the belt
across you very quickly.
If this happens, let the belt
go back slightly to unlock
it. Then pull the belt across
you more slowly. If the shoulder portion of a
passenger belt is pulled
out all the way, the child
restraint locking feature
may be engaged. See Child
Restraint Systems
077.
If this occurs, let the belt
go back all the way and
start again. If the locking
feature stays engaged
after letting the belt go
back to stowed position on
the seat, move the seat
rearward or recline the
seat until the shoulder belt
retractor lock releases.
Engaging the child
restraint locking feature in
the front outboard seating
position may affect the
passenger sensing system.
See Passenger Sensing
System 066.
If the shoulder portion of
the driver belt is pulled out
all the way, the shoulder
belt retractor lock feature
may be engaged. If this
happens, let the belt go
back all the way and start

Seat Belt Care
Keep belts clean and dry.
Seat belts should be properly
cared for and maintained.
Seat belt hardware should be
kept dry and free of dust or
debris. As necessary, exterior
hard surfaces and seat belt
webbing may be lightly
cleaned with mild soap and
water. Ensure there is not
excessive dust or debris in the
mechanism. If dust or debris
exists in the system please
see the dealer. Parts may need to be replaced to ensure
proper functionality of the
system.
{Warning
Do not bleach or dye seat
belt webbing. It may severely
weaken the webbing. In a
crash, they might not be
able to provide adequate
protection. Clean and rinse
seat belt webbing only with
mild soap and lukewarm
water. Allow the webbing
to dry.
Replacing Seat Belt
System Parts after a
Crash
{Warning
A crash can damage the
seat belt system in the
vehicle. A damaged seat belt
system may not properly
protect the person using it,
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
resulting in serious injury or
even death in a crash. To
help make sure the seat belt
systems are working
properly after a crash, have
them inspected and any
necessary replacements
made as soon as possible.
After a minor crash,
replacement of seat belts may
not be necessary. But the seat
belt assemblies that were
used during any crash may
have been stressed or
damaged. See your dealer to
have the seat belt assemblies
inspected or replaced.
New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the seat belt
system was not being used at
the time of the crash.
Have the seat belt
pretensioners checked if the
vehicle has been in a crash,
or if the airbag readiness light
stays on after you start the
