First, you’ll want to know which
restraint systems your vehicle has.
We’ll start
with the driver position.
Driver Position
This section describes the driver’s
restraint system.
1
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt.
Here’s how
to wear it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see
“Seats” in the Index)
so you can sit
up straight.
Y
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the
belt across
you. Don’t let it get
twisted.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle
until it clicks.
If
the belt isn’t long enough, see
“Safety Belt Extender” at the end
of
this part. Make sure the release
button on the buckle faces upward or
outward
so you would be able to
unbuckle
it quickly if you ever had
to.

5. To make the lap part tight, pull down
on the buckle end of the belt as you
pull up
on the shoulder belt. The lap part
of the belt should be worn
low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force
to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be
less likely
to slide under the lap belt. If
you slid under
it, the belt would apply
force at your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries. The
shoulder belt should
go over the
shoulder and across the chest. These
parts of the body are best able to take
belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden
stop or crash or if you pull
the belt very
quickly out of
the retractor.
Q: What’s wrong with this?
A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It
won’t give nearly as much
protection this way.

You can be seriously hurt if
your shoulder belt is too
loose. In a crash you would move
forward too much, which could
increase injury. The shoulder belt
I should fit against your body.

Seats & Safety Belts
Passenger Positions
Right Front Passenger Position
The right front passenger’s safety belt
works
the same way as the driver’s
safety belt. See “Driver Position,”
earlier
in this part.
When the shoulder belt is pulled out all
the way, it will lock. If it does, let it go
back all the way and start again.
Rear Seat Passengers
It’s very important for rear seat
passengers to buckle
up! Accident
statistics show that
unbelted people in
the rear seat are hurt more often in
crashes than those who are wearing
safety belts. Rear
passengers who aren’t safety belted
can be thrown out of the vehicle
in a
crash. And they can strike others in the
vehicle who are wearing safety belts.

The rear seats have lap-shoulder belts.
Here’s how to wear one properly.
1. Pick up the latch plate and pull it
across you. Don’t let it get twisted.
2. Push the latch plate into the buckle
until it clicks.
When the shoulder belt
is pulled out all
the way,
it will lock. If it does, let it go
back all the way and start again.
If the belt is not long enough, see
“Safety Belt Extender” at the end
of
this section.
Make sure
the release button on the
buckle faces upward or outward so you
would be able to unbuckle
it quickly if
you ever had to.

on
the buckle end of the belt as you

The safety belt locks only

if you pull it
very quickly out of the retractor.

5. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all
the way out
of the retractor to set the
lock.
6. To tighten the belt, feed the shoulder
belt into the retractor while you push
down on the child restraint.
7. Push and pull the child restraint in
different directions to be sure it is
secure.
To remove the child restraint, just
unbuckle
the vehicle’s safety belt and let
it go back all the way. The safety belt
will move freely again and be ready to
work for an adult or larger
child
passenger.

Leaving young children in a
vehicle with the ignition key
I
is dangerous for many reasons. A
child or others could be badly
injured or even killed.
They could operate controls or
even make the vehicle move.
Don’t leave the keys in a vehicle
with young children. One key is used
for the ignition, the
doors, and all other locks.
When a new Tracker is delivered, the
dealer removes the metal plate from the key ring and gives
it to the first owner.
The metal plate has a code
on it that
tells your dealer
or a qualified locksmith
how to make extra keys. Keep the code
in a safe place. If you lose your keys,
you’ll be able to have new ones made easily using this code.
