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

includes a light on the
instrument panel to remind you and
your passengers to f asten your belts.
If the driver’s seat belt is not
fastened before the ignition is turned
ON (II), the light will come on and a
beeper will also sound. The beeper
will stop af ter a f ew seconds, but the
light will stay on until the driver’s
seat belt is f astened. The lap/shoulder belt goes over
your shoulder, across your chest,
and across your hips.
