Proper Use of Seat Belts ■
Follow these guidelines for proper use:
All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that position ●
for the duration of the trip. Slouching or leaning reduces the effectiveness of the
belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or ●
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very ●
seriously injured in a crash.
Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improve ●
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective
capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
Seat Belt Reminder ■
Your vehicle monitors seat belt use. If the
ignition switch is turned to ON
II before the
driver’s seat belt is fastened, a beeper will
sound and the indicator will blink. If the driver
does not fasten the belt before the beeper
stops, the indicator will remain on.
The beeper will also periodically sound and
the indicator will blink while driving until
the driver’s and passenger’s seat belts are
fastened.
About Your Seat Belts
If your passenger moves around and extends the
seat belt, the lockable retractor may activate. If this
happens, release the retractor by unfastening the
seat belt and allow the belt to retract completely.
Then refasten the belt.
Seat Belt Reminder
The indicator will also come on if a passenger does
not fasten their seat belt within 6 seconds after the
ignition switch is turned to ON . When no one
is sitting in the passenger's seat, or a child or small
adult is riding there, the indicator will not come
on. This is because the weight sensor in the seat
cannot detect their presence.
