halves of the remote entry
transmitter near the keyring. DO

SAFETY RESTRAINTS
Safety restraints precautions
Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap
belt snug and low across the hips.
To reduce the risk of injury, make sure children sit where they
can be properlyrestrained.
Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the
vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from
injuryin a collision.
All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should always
properlywear their safetybelts, even when an air bag (SRS) is
provided.
It is extremelydangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas
are more likelyto be seriouslyinjured or killed. Do not allow people to
ride in anyarea of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and
safety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a
safetybelt properly.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantlymore likely
to die than a person wearing a safetybelt.

The front and rear outboard safetyrestraints in the vehicle are
combination lap and shoulder belts. The front passenger and rear seat
outboard safetybelts have two types of locking modes described below:
Vehicle sensitive mode
This is the normal retractor mode, which allows free shoulder belt length
adjustment to your movements and locking in response to vehicle
movement. For example, if the driver brakes suddenlyor turns a corner
sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of approximately 8 km/h (5
mph) or more, the combination safetybelts will lock to help reduce
forward movement of the driver and passengers.
On SuperCab and CrewCab models, the front seat belt system can also
be made to lock manuallybyquicklypulling on the shoulder belt.
Rear seat belts (if equipped) cannot be made to lock up bypulling
quicklyon the belt.
Automatic locking mode
The automatic locking mode is not available on the driver safetybelt.
When to use the automatic locking mode
In this mode, the shoulder belt is automaticallypre-locked. The belt will
still retract to remove anyslack in the shoulder belt. The automatic
locking mode is not available on the driver safetybelt.
This mode should be usedany timea child safetyseat is installed in a
passenger front or outboard rear seating position (if equipped). Children
12 years old and under should be properly restrained in the rear seat
whenever possible. Refer toSafety restraints for childrenorSafety
seats for childrenlater in this chapter.
How to use the automatic locking mode
•Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt.
Seating and Safety Restraints
70

•Grasp the shoulder portion and
pull downward until the entire
belt is pulled out.
•Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safetybelt is now in the automatic locking
mode.
How to disengage the automatic locking mode
Disconnect the combination lap/shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completelyto disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the
vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
After anyvehicle collision, the front passenger and rear outboard
seat belt systems must be checked by a qualified technician to
verifythat the “automatic locking retractor” feature for child seats is
still functioning properly. In addition, all seat belts should be checked
for proper function.
BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED if
the seat belt assembly“automatic locking retractor” feature or
anyother seat belt function is not operating properlywhen checked
according to the procedures in Workshop Manual. Failure to replace
the Belt and Retractor assemblycould increase the risk of injuryin
collisions.
Energy Management Feature
•This vehicle has a seat belt system with an energy management
feature at the front outboard seating positions to help further reduce
the risk of injuryin the event of a head-on collision.
•The front outboard seat belt systems have a retractor assembly that is
designed to payout webbing in a controlled manner. This feature is
designed to help reduce the belt force acting on the occupant’s chest.

push the button and slide the height
adjuster up or down. Release the
button and pull down on the height
adjuster to make sure it is locked in

across the middle of your shoulder. Failure to adjust the safety
belt properlycould reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and
increase the risk of injuryin a collision.
