Knowing your vehicle
Since the inertial locks do not require a
collision in order to lock up, you may
become aware of the safety belts locking
while braking or going around sharp cor-
ners.The rear safety belts use a special auto-
lock feature designed to allow a child
restraint to be used without an added
locking clip. These safety belt positions
normally lock only under extreme or
emergency conditions (emergency lock
mode). However, they can be adjusted so
that they remain in fixed and locked when
a child restraint system is in place. (Use
this auto-lock mode only to secure a child
restraint, never for passengers restrained
by the safety belts.) Page 3-46 gives
instructions on placing the safety belt in
the auto lock mode.
The driver’s safety belt can only operate
in the emergency lock mode.Safety belts provide the best restraint
when:
• The seatback is upright.
• The occupant is sitting upright (not
slouched).
• The lap belt is snug across the hips.
• The shoulder belt is snug across the chest.
• The knees are straight forward.
To help you remember to fasten your
safety belt, a warning light will come on
and a chime will sound. See Safety Belt
Warning Light and Chime on page 3-35.
WARNING
Always u se the rear seat position(s)
to install your child restraint(s).
Never install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger position,
as an inflating air bag could cau se
serious or fatal injury to a child in
that position.
WARNING- After a colli- sion
• Lap/s houlder belt assemblies
may be s tretched or damaged
when subjected to the stress and
force s of a collision.
• The entire res traint system
s hould be ins pected following
any collision. All belts, retractor s,
anchor s and hardware damaged
by a collision should be replaced
before the vehicle is operated
again.
