ENERGY MANAGEMENT FEATURE
•This vehicle has a seat belt system with an energy
management feature at the front outboard seating
positions to help further reduce the risk of injury
in the event of a head-on collision.

After any vehicle collision, the seat belt
system at all outboard seating positions
(except driver, which has no“automatic locking
retractor”feature) must be checked by a qualified
technician to verify that the“automatic locking
retractor”feature for child seats is still functioning
properly. In addition, all seat belts should be
checked for proper function.
BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST
BE REPLACED if the seat belt assembly
“automatic locking retractor”feature or any other
seat belt function is not operating properly when
checked.
Failure to replace the Belt and Retractor
assembly could increase the risk of injury in
