back to stowed position on
the seat, move the seat
rearward or recline the
seat until the shoulder belt
retractor lock releases.

are buckled while the vehicle is
in P (Park) or D (Drive) and the
engine is running or in Auto
Stop (if equipped), the system
may activate to tighten the
seat belts.
The system also activates
during emergency braking
and/or sudden driving
maneuvers and releases when
driving conditions return to
normal.
The system will not activate if
the Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control
system is not functioningproperly. See Traction
Control/Electronic Stability
Control
0271. If there is a
problem with the Automatic
Seat Belt Tightening System, a
message displays on the
Driver Information Center
(DIC). If a system unavailable
message displays repeatedly
or if a service message
displays, see your dealer.
Other seat belt functions are
not affected by the Automatic
Seat Belt Tightening System.
Seat Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has seat belt
pretensioners for the front
outboard occupants. Although
the seat belt pretensioners
cannot be seen, they are part
of the seat belt assembly.
They can help tighten the seat
belts during the early stages
of a moderate to severe
frontal, near frontal, or rear
crash if the threshold
conditions for pretensioner
activation are met. Seat belt pretensioners can also help
tighten the seat belts in a side
crash or a rollover event.
Pretensioners work only once.
If the pretensioners activate in
a crash, the pretensioners and
probably other parts of the
vehicle’s seat belt system will
need to be replaced. See
Replacing Seat Belt System
Parts after a Crash
068.
Do not sit on the outboard
seat belt while entering or
exiting the vehicle or at any
time while sitting in the seat.
Sitting on the seat belt can
damage the webbing and
hardware.
Rear Seat Belt Comfort
Guides
Rear seat belt comfort guides
may provide added seat belt
comfort for older children who
have outgrown booster seats
and for some adults. When
installed on a shoulder belt,

indicator will light and stay lit
as a reminder that the airbag
is off. See Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator0128.
The passenger sensing
system is designed to turn on
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag anytime the
system senses that a person
of adult size is sitting properly
in the front outboard
passenger seat.
When the passenger sensing
system has allowed the airbag
to be enabled, the ON
indicator will light and stay lit
as a reminder that the airbag
is active.
For some children, including
children in child restraints, and
for very small adults, the
passenger sensing system
may or may not turn off the
front outboard passenger
frontal airbag, depending upon
the person's seating posture
and body build. Everyone in
the vehicle who has outgrown
child restraints should wear a seat belt properly
—whether
or not there is an airbag for
that person.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light
ever comes on and stays on,
it means that something may
be wrong with the airbag
system. To help avoid injury
to yourself or others, have
the vehicle serviced right
away. See Airbag Readiness
Light 0127 for more
information, including
important safety
information.
If the On Indicator Is Lit
for a Child Restraint

system is designed to turn off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag if the system
determines that an infant is
present in a child restraint. If a
child restraint has been
installed and the ON indicator
is lit: 1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Remove the child restraint
from the vehicle.
3. Remove any additional items from the seat such
as blankets, cushions, seat
covers, seat heaters,
or seat massagers.
4. Reinstall the child restraint following the directions
provided by the child
restraint manufacturer and
refer to Securing Child
Restraints (With the Seat

0 99.
Make sure the seat belt
retractor is locked by
pulling the shoulder belt all
the way out of the
retractor when installing
the child restraint, even if
the child restraint is
equipped with a seat belt
lock off. When the
retractor lock is set, the
