•Safety belt pretensioner at the frontoutboard seating positions.
•Belt tension sensor at the front outboardpassenger seating position.
· Safety belt warning light andchime.
· Crash sensors and monitoringsystem with readiness indicator.
The safety belt pretensioners at the frontseating positions are designed to tighten thesafety belts when activated.

Seatbelt Locking Modes
WARNING: If your vehicle is involvedin a crash, have the seatbelts and associatedcomponents inspected as soon as possible.Failure to follow this instruction could resultin personal injury or death.
All safety restraints in the vehicle arecombination lap and shoulder belts. Thedriver seatbelt has the vehicle sensitivelocking mode. The front outboard passengerand rear seat seatbelts have both the vehiclesensitive locking mode and the automaticlocking mode.
Vehicle Sensitive Mode
This is the normal retractor mode, whichallows free shoulder belt length adjustmentto your movements and locking in responseto vehicle movement. For example, if thedriver brakes suddenly or turns a cornersharply, or the vehicle receives an impact ofabout 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, thecombination seatbelts lock to help reduceforward movement of the driver andpassengers.
In addition, the retractor is designed to lockif you pull the webbing out too quickly. If theseatbelt retractor locks, slowly lower theheight adjuster to allow the seatbelt toretract. If the retractor does not unlock, pullthe seatbelt out slowly then feed a small
length of webbing back toward the stowedposition. For rear seatbelts, recline the rearseat backrest or push the seat backrestcushion away from the seatbelt. Feed a smalllength of webbing back toward the stowedposition.
Automatic Locking Mode
In this mode, the shoulder belt automaticallypre-locks. The belt still retracts to removeany slack in the shoulder belt. The automaticlocking mode is not available on the driverseatbelt.
When to Use the Automatic Locking Mode
Use this mode any time you install a childrestraint, except a booster, in passenger frontor rear seating positions. Properly restrainchildren 12 years old and under in a rearseating position whenever possible. SeeChild Safety (page 19).

Rear Inflatable Seatbelt (If Equipped)

Note:The rear inflatable seatbelts arecompatible with most infant and child safetycar seats and belt positioning booster seatswhen properly installed. This is because theyare designed to fill with a cooled gas at alower pressure and at a slower rate thantraditional airbags. After inflation, theshoulder portion of the seatbelt remains coolto the touch.
The rear inflatable seatbelt consists of thefollowing:
•An inflatable bag in the shoulder seatbeltwebbing.
•Lap seatbelt webbing with automaticlocking mode.
•The same warning light, electroniccontrol and diagnostic unit as used forthe front seatbelts.
•Impact sensors in various parts of thevehicle.
How does the rear inflatable seatbeltsystem work?
WARNING: If a supplementary restraintsystem component has deployed, it will notfunction again. Have the system andassociated components inspected as soonas possible. Failure to follow this instructioncould result in personal injury or death.
The rear inflatable seatbelts function likestandard restraints in everyday usage.
During a crash of sufficient force, theinflatable belt inflates from inside thewebbing.
The fully inflated belt's increased diametermore effectively holds the occupant in theappropriate seating position, and spreadscrash forces over more area of the body thanregular seatbelts. This helps reduce pressureon the chest and helps control head andneck motion for passengers.

The rear inflatable seatbelts are designed toinflate in frontal or near-frontal crashes andsome side impact crashes and rollovers. Thefact that the rear inflatable seatbelt did notinflate in a crash does not mean thatsomething is wrong with the system. Rather,it means the forces were not of the typesufficient to cause activation.
SEATBELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: Position the safety beltheight adjusters so that the belt rests acrossthe middle of your shoulder. Failure to adjustthe safety belt properly could reduce theeffectiveness of the safety belt and increasethe risk of injury in a crash.
Adjust the height of the shoulder belt so thebelt rests across the middle of your shoulder.
To adjust the shoulder belt height:
1. Press the button and slide the heightadjuster up or down.
2.Release the button and pull down on theheight adjuster to make sure it is lockedin place.
