WARNING:
o Verify the shoulder belt anchor is
locked into position at the appropriate
height. Never position the shoulder
belt across your neck or face. Im-
properly positioned seat belts can
cause serious injuries in an accident.
o Failure to replace seat belts after an
accident could leave you with dam-
aged seat belts that will not provide
protection in the event of another
collision leading to personal injury or
death. Replace your seat belts after
being in an accident as soon as pos-
sible.
To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible "click"
when the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt portion
is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. If you lean forward in a
slow, easy motion, the belt will extend and
let you move around.

kneel on the seat or floorboard of a
moving vehicle. During a collision or
sudden stop, the child can be violently
thrown against the vehicles interior,
resulting in serious injury.

safety seat that "hooks" over a
seatback, it may not provide adequate
security in an accident.
o Seat belts can become very hot, es-
pecially when the car is parked in
direct sunlight. Always check seat
belt buckles before fastening them
over a child.

The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components.

When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the
occupant tries to lean forward too quickly,
the seat belt retractor will lock into position.
In certain frontal collisions, the pre-
tensioner will activate and pull the seat belt
into tighter contact against the occupant's
body.
If the system senses excessive seat belt
tension on the driver or passenger's seat
belt when the pre-tensioner activates, the
load limiter inside the pre-tensioner will
release some of the pressure on the af-
fected seat belt.
!
WARNING:
To obtain maximum benefit from a pre-
tensioner seat belt:
1. The seatbelt must be work correctly
and adjusted to the proper position
(see pages 1-30 and 1-31). Please
read and follow all of the important
information and precautions about
your vehicle’s occupant safety fea-
tures – including seat belts and ad-
vanced air bags – that are provided in
this manual.
2. Be sure you and your passengers
always wear seat belts and wear them
properly.
