Safety belt pretensioner

Your vehicle is equipped with safety belt pretensioners at the driver and
right front passenger seating positions.

The safety belt pretensioner tightens the safety belts firmly against the
occupant’s body at the start of the crash.

When the optional Safety Canopy

௢ system, seat-mounted side airbags,

and/or the front airbags are activated, the safety belt pretensioners for
the driver and right front passenger seating positions will be activated
when the respective seatbelt is properly buckled.

The driver and front passenger safety belt system (including
retractors, buckles and height adjusters) must be replaced if the

vehicle is involved in a collision that results in deployment of front
airbags, seat-mounted side airbags and Safety Canopy

௢ (if equipped),

and safety belt pretensioners.

Refer to the Safety belt maintenance section in this chapter.

Front safety belt height adjustment

Your vehicle has safety belt height
adjustments at the front outboard
seating positions. Adjust the height
of the shoulder belt so the belt rests
across the middle of your shoulder.

To adjust the shoulder belt height,
squeeze and hold the buttons on the
side and slide the height adjuster up
or down. Release the buttons and
pull down on the height adjuster to
make sure it is locked in place.

Position the safety belt height adjusters so that the belt rests
across the middle of your shoulder. Failure to adjust the safety

belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt and
increase the risk of injury in a collision.
