Seats and Restraints 41

On vehicles with factory installed
seats, the front seats have built-in
head restraints that are not
adjustable in the outboard seating
positions.

Seat Adjustment
{Warning

seat while the vehicle is moving.
Adjust the driver seat only when
the vehicle is not moving.
To adjust the seat:1. Lift the bar under the front edge of the seat cushion to
unlock the seat.
2. Slide the seat to the desired position and release the bar.
3. Try to move the seat back and forth to be sure the seat is
locked in place.

pulled out. If this happens, pull the
safety belt straight out firmly to
unlock the webbing, and then
release it. If the webbing is still
locked in the retractor, see your
dealer.
Before a door is closed, be sure the
safety belt is out of the way. If a
door is slammed against a safety
belt, damage can occur to both the
safety belt and the vehicle.
Safety Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a safety belt height
adjuster for the driver and front
outboard passenger positions.
Adjust the height so the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The belt
should be close to, but not
contacting, the neck. Improper
shoulder belt height adjustment
could reduce the effectiveness of
the safety belt in a crash. SeeHow
to Wear Safety Belts Properly 047.Squeeze both sides of the release
button and pull outward. Then move
the height adjuster up or down to
the desired position and release the
button.
After the adjuster is set to the
desired position, try to move it up or
down without squeezing the release
button to make sure it has locked
into position.
Safety Belt Pretensioners
If the vehicle has seat-mounted side
impact airbags and roof-rail airbags,
it also has safety belt pretensioners
for the front outboard occupants. Although the safety belt
pretensioners cannot be seen, they
are part of the safety belt assembly.
They can help tighten the safety
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. And, if the
vehicle has roof-rail airbags, safety
belt pretensioners can help tighten
the safety belts in a side crash or a
rollover event.
Pretensioners work only once. If the
pretensioners are activated in a
crash, the pretensioners and
possibly other parts of the safety
belt system will need to be replaced.
See
Replacing Safety Belt System
Parts after a Crash 054.
Do not sit on the outboard safety
belt while entering or exiting the
vehicle or at any time while sitting in
the seat. Sitting on the safety belt
can damage the webbing and
hardware.
