Seatbelt Locking Modes
WARNING
After a crash, have a qualifiedtechnician check all the seatbelts tomake sure the seatbelts including theautomatic locking retractor feature for childrestraints operate properly. We recommendreplacing any system that has damage ordoes not operate properly. Failure to do socan result in personal injury or death in theevent of a sudden stop or another crash.
All safety restraints in the vehicle arecombination lap and shoulder belts. Thedriver seatbelt has the vehicle sensitivelocking mode. The front outboard passengerand rear 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 smalllength 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.

SeatbeltsE142590

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 andin some side impact crashes and rollovercrashes. The fact that the rear inflatableseatbelt did not inflate in a crash does notmean that something is wrong with thesystem. Rather, it means the forces were notof the type sufficient to cause activation.
SEATBELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
Position the safety belt height adjustersso that the belt rests across the middleof your shoulder. Failure to adjust the safetybelt properly could reduce the effectivenessof the safety belt and increase the risk ofinjury in a crash.

2.Release the button and pull down on theheight adjuster to make sure it is lockedin place.
