Additional Information About Your Seat Belts

All seat belts have an emergency
locking retractor. In normal driving,
the retractor lets you move freely in
your seat while it keeps some

tension on the belt. During a collision
or sudden stop, the retractor
automatically locks the belt to help
restrain your body.

The seat belts in all seating positions

except the driver's have an additional

locking mechanism that must be
activated to secure a child seat. (See
pages

29

and

33

for instructions on

how to secure child seats with this
type of seat belt.)

If the shoulder part of the belt is
pulled all the way out, the locking
mechanism will activate. The belt

will retract, but it will not allow the
passenger to move freely.

To deactivate the locking

mechanism, unlatch the buckle and
let the seat belt fully retract. To
refasten the belt, pull it out only as
far as needed.

See page

for instructions on how

to wear the lap/shoulder belt
properly.
