• Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants
• Front seat belts incorporate pretensioners that may

enhance occupant protection by managing occupant
energy during an impact event

• All seat belt systems (except the driver’s) include

Automatic Locking Retractors (ALRs), which lock the
seat belt webbing into position by extending the belt
all the way out and then adjusting the belt to the
desired length to restrain a child seat or secure a large
item in a seat

Please pay close attention to the information in this
section. It tells you how to use your restraint system
properly, to keep you and your passengers as safe as
possible.

If you will be carrying children too small for adult-sized
seat belts, the seat belts or the Lower Anchors and Tether
for CHildren (LATCH) feature also can be used to hold
infant and child restraint systems. For more information
on LATCH, refer to Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren (LATCH).

NOTE:

The Advanced Front Air Bags have a multistage

inflator design. This allows the air bag to have different
rates of inflation based on the severity and type of
collision.
