ENGAGING AUTOMATIC LOCKING
MODE
1. Fasten the combination lap and
shoulder belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until you pull the entire belt
out.
3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.

automatic locking mode.
DISENGAGING AUTOMATIC
LOCKING MODE
Unbuckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the automatic
locking mode and activate the vehicle
sensitive locking mode. ADJUSTING THE SEATBELTS
DURING PREGNANCY WARNING: Always ride and drive
with your seatback upright and properly
fasten your seatbelt. Fit the lap portion
of the seatbelt snugly and low across
the hips. Position the shoulder portion of
the seatbelt across your chest. Pregnant
women must follow this practice. See
the following figure. Pregnant women should always wear their
seatbelt. Position the lap belt portion of a
combination lap and shoulder belt low
across the hips below the belly and worn
as tight as comfort allows. Position the
shoulder belt to cross the middle of the
shoulder and the center of the chest.
ADJUSTING THE SEATBELT
HEIGHT
WARNING:
Position the seatbelt
height adjuster so that the seatbelt rests
across the middle of your shoulder.
Failure to adjust the seatbelt correctly
could reduce its effectiveness and
increase the risk of injury in a crash.

ADJUSTING THE SEATBELT
LENGTH 1.
Pull some seatbelt webbing out of the
shoulder belt retractor.

tongue so that it is parallel to the
webbing and slide the tongue up.
3. Provide enough lap belt length so that
the tongue can reach the buckle.
SEATBELT REMINDER
HOW DOES THE SEATBELT
REMINDER WORK
This feature supplements the seatbelt
warning function by providing additional
reminders that intermittently sound a tone
and illuminate the seatbelt warning lamp
when you are in the driver seat or you have
a front seat passenger and a seatbelt is
unbuckled.
The system uses information from the
front passenger sensing system to
determine if a front seat passenger is
present and therefore potentially in need
of a warning. To avoid the system
switching on the Belt-Minder feature for
objects you place on the front passenger
seat, only the front seat passengers receive
warnings as determined by the front
passenger sensing system.
If the Belt-Minder warnings expire
(warnings for about five minutes) for one
passenger (driver or front passenger), the
other passenger can still cause the
Belt-Minder feature to switch on.

•
The knee airbag(s) may deploy based
on crash severity and occupant
conditions.
• The Safety Canopy inflates in certain
side impact crashes or rollover events.
The Safety Canopy may activate in
other types of crashes if the vehicle
experiences sufficient sideways motion
or deformation, or a certain likelihood
of rollover.
Airbags and Police Equipment WARNING: Do not place objects
or mount equipment on or near the
airbag cover, on the side of the front or
rear seatbacks, or in areas that may
come into contact with a deploying
airbag. Failure to follow these
instructions may increase the risk of
personal injury in the event of a crash. WARNING:
Keep the areas in front
of the airbags free from obstruction. Do
not affix anything to or over the airbag
covers. Objects could become projectiles
during airbag deployment. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.
Dual driver and passenger airbags, side
airbags and knee airbags affect the way
police equipment can be mounted in police
vehicles.
Any surfaces that could come into contact
with an airbag, once it has deployed, must
not damage the airbag or alter its
deployment path. Once the airbag has fully deployed, any
peripheral equipment surfaces that could
come into contact with the airbag, such as
when the airbag deflates with the loading
of an occupant, must not damage the
airbag or alter its deployment path. Sharp
edges, corners or protrusions could
damage the nylon airbag material and
reduce the effectiveness of the airbag.
Some approximate dimensions for airbags,
at full inflation, are provided. These
dimensions are somewhat flexible and
represent free form deployments without
the loading of occupants. The shaded
areas in Figures 8 through 10 represent
available police equipment mounting
zones. These zones are shown for police
vehicles with standard bucket seats. The
zone dimensions provided in Figures 8
through 10 are approximate and will vary
with the loading of occupants in the seats.
All airbag and equipment mounting zone
dimensions are approximate due to
different airbag deployment
characteristics.
Do not mount equipment between the side
of the front seat and the door trim that will
block deployment of the side airbag.
Do not mount equipment between the
seats and the body side as shown in Figure
7 that would prevent the side curtain airbag
from achieving occupant coverage.
