44 Seats and Restraints
When riding in a vehicle, you travel
as fast as the vehicle does. If the
vehicle stops suddenly, you keep
going until something stops you.
It could be the windshield, the
instrument panel, or the seat belts!
When you wear a seat belt, you and
the vehicle slow down together.
There is more time to stop because
you stop over a longer distance and,
when worn properly, your strongest
bones take the forces from the seat
belts. That is why wearing seat belts
makes such good sense.
Questions and Answers About
Seat Belts
Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicleafter a crash if I am wearing a
seat belt?
A: You could be—whether you are
wearing a seat belt or not. Your
chance of being conscious
during and after a crash, so you
can unbuckle and get out, is
much greater if you are belted. Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why
should I have to wear seat
belts?
A: Airbags are supplemental
systems only. They work with
seat belts —not instead of them.
Whether or not an airbag is
provided, all occupants still have
to buckle up to get the most
protection.
Also, in nearly all states and in
all Canadian provinces, the law
requires wearing seat belts.
How to Wear Seat Belts
Properly
This section is only for people of
adult size.
There are special things to know
about seat belts and children, and
there are different rules for smaller
children and infants. If a child will be
riding in the vehicle, see Older
Children 064 orInfants and Young
Children 065. Follow those rules for
everyone's protection. It is very important for all occupants
to buckle up. Statistics show that
unbelted people are hurt more often
in crashes than those who are
wearing seat belts.
There are important things to know
about wearing a seat belt properly.
.
Sit up straight and always keep
your feet on the floor in front
of you.
. Always use the correct buckle
for your seating position.
. Wear the lap part of the belt low
and snug on the hips, just
touching the thighs. In a crash,

{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,
resulting in serious injury or even
death in a crash. To help make
sure the seat belt systems are
working properly after a crash,(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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 vehicle
or while you are driving. See Airbag
Readiness Light 089.
Airbag System
The vehicle has the following
airbags:
.
A frontal airbag for the driver
. A frontal airbag for the front
outboard passenger
. A seat-mounted side impact
airbag for the driver
. A seat-mounted side impact
airbag for the front outboard
passenger
. A roof-rail airbag for the driver
. A roof-rail airbag for the front
outboard passenger
All of the airbags have the word
SRS AIRBAG on the trim or on a
label near the deployment opening.
For frontal airbags, the word SRS
AIRBAG will appear on the middle
part of the steering wheel for the
driver and on the instrument panel
for the front outboard passenger.

Seats and Restraints 51
{Warning
Children who are up against,
or very close to, any airbag when
it inflates can be seriously injured
or killed. Always secure children
properly in the vehicle. To read
how, seeOlder Children 064 or
Infants and Young Children 065.
There is an airbag readiness light
on the instrument cluster, which
shows the airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag
electrical system for malfunctions.
The light tells you if there is an
electrical problem. See Airbag
Readiness Light 089.
Where Are the Airbags?
The driver frontal airbag is in the
center of the steering wheel.
The front outboard passenger
frontal airbag is in the passenger
side instrument panel.
Passenger Side Shown, Driver
Side Similar
The seat-mounted side impact
airbags for the driver and front
outboard passenger are in the side
of the seatbacks closest to the door.
The roof-rail airbags for the driver
and front outboard passenger are in
the trim above the side windows.

Seats and Restraints 53
Warning (Continued)
.The front passenger airbag
will not inflate if the
passenger airbag status
indicator is lit or if the front
passenger seat is
unoccupied. For more
information, see Passenger
Airbag Status Indicator 090.
. The seat belts and the front
airbags are most effective
when you are sitting well
back and upright in the seat
with both feet on the floor.
The front airbags inflate with
great force. Even with the
advanced airbag system,
if you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting
sideways, or out of position
in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or
death in a crash. You may
also receive serious or fatal
injuries from the front airbag
if you are up against it when
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
it inflates. Always sit back
against the seatback and as
far away as practical from
the steering wheel or
instrument panel. Always
properly use the seat belts.
. The driver and front
passenger seat belt buckles
are equipped with sensors
that detect if the seat belts
are fastened. The advanced
airbag system monitors the
severity of a collision and
seat belt usage, then
inflates the airbags as
needed. Failure to properly
wear the seat belts can
increase the risk or severity
of injury in an accident.
. The front passenger seat is
equipped with a Passenger
Sensing System (weight
sensor) that turns the front
passenger airbag off under
some conditions. This
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
sensor is only used in this
seat. Failure to be properly
seated and wearing the seat
belt can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an
accident. For more
information, seePassenger
Airbag Status Indicator 090.
. Keep hands on the outside
of the steering wheel.
Placing them inside the
steering wheel rim could
increase the risk that they
are injured when the front
airbag inflates.

54 Seats and Restraints
{Warning
Front seat-mounted side impact
airbags and roof-rail rollover
airbags:. The seat-mounted side
impact airbags and roof-rail
airbags ordinarily will not
inflate in the event of a
frontal impact, rear impact,
or lower severity side
collision. Always wear your
seat belts to help reduce the
risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.
. The seat belts, the
seat-mounted side impact
airbags, and roof-rail
airbags are most effective
when you are sitting with
both feet on the floor. The
seat-mounted side impact
airbags and roof-rail airbags
inflate with great force. Do
not allow anyone sitting in
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
the seats to extend their
hand out of the window or
lean against the door.
. Do not use seat covers on
the seatbacks. They may
interfere with seat-mounted
side impact airbag inflation.
What Makes an Airbag
Inflate?
In a deployment event, the sensing
system sends an electrical signal
triggering a release of gas from the
inflator. Gas from the inflator fills the
airbag causing the bag to break out
of the cover. The inflator, the airbag,
and related hardware are all part of
the airbag module.
For airbag locations, see Where Are
the Airbags? 051.
How Does an Airbag
Restrain?
In moderate to severe frontal or
near frontal collisions, even belted
occupants can contact the steering
wheel or the instrument panel. In
moderate to severe side collisions,
even belted occupants can contact
the inside of the vehicle.
Airbags supplement the protection
provided by seat belts by
distributing the force of the impact
more evenly over the
occupant's body.
Rollover capable roof-rail airbags
are designed to help contain the
head and chest of occupants in the
front outboard seating positions.
The rollover capable roof-rail
airbags are designed to help reduce
the risk of full or partial ejection in
rollover events, although no system
can prevent all such ejections.
But airbags would not help in many
types of collisions, primarily
because the occupant's motion is
not toward those airbags. See When
Should an Airbag Inflate? 052.

Passenger Sensing
System
{Warning
The front passenger airbag is
designed to automatically turn off
under some conditions. Read this
section carefully to learn how it
operates. Proper use of the seat,
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
seat belt, and child restraints is
necessary for most effective
protection. Failure to follow all
instructions in this manual
concerning the use of seats, seat
belts, and child restraints can
increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.
The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system for the front
outboard passenger position. The
passenger airbag status indicator is
under the climate controls.
After the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, the passenger
airbag status indicator on the
instrument panel will light for about
seven seconds. When the system
check is complete, the word OFF
and the symbol for off will be visible
if the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag is turned off. See
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
090.
The passenger sensing system
turns off the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag, under
certain conditions. No other airbag
is affected by the passenger
sensing system.
