and insert the tongue into the buckle until
you hear and feel the latch engage.
cThe retractor is designed to lock during
a sudden stop or on impact. A slow
pulling motion permits the seat belt to
move, and allows you some freedom of
movement in the seat.
cIf the seat belt cannot be pulled from
its fully retracted position, firmly pull
the belt and release it. Then smoothly
pull the belt out of the retractor.s3Position the lap belt portionlow and snug
on the hipsas shown.
s4Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the
retractor to take up extra slack. Be sure the
shoulder belt is routed over your shoulder
and across your chest.

When the automatic locking mechanism is acti-
vated the seat belt cannot be extended again until
the seat belt tongue is detached from the buckle
and fully retracted. Once retracted, the seat belt
is in the emergency locking mode. See “Child
restraints” later in this section for more informa-
tion.
The automatic locking mode should be
used only for child restraint installation.
During normal seat belt use by a passen-
ger, the locking mode should not be acti-
vated. If it is activated it may cause uncom-
fortable seat belt tension. It can also
change the operation of the front passen-
ger air bag. See “Front passenger air bag
and status light” later in this section.
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be certain
that the seatbacks are completely se-
cured in the latched position. If they are
not completely secured, passengers may
be injured in an accident or sudden stop.

restraint installation on front passenger
seat” later in this section.
cWhen your child restraint is not in use,
keep it secured with a seat belt to pre-
vent it from being thrown around in

cThe three-point seat belt in your vehicle
is equipped with an automatic locking
mode retractor which must be used
when installing a child restraint.cFailure to use the retractor’s locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The re-
straint could tip over or otherwise be
unsecured and cause injury to the child
in a sudden stop or collision.
WARNING
cWhen installing a child restraint system
in the passenger’s side jump seat posi-
tion be sure to unfold the seat exten-
sion on the jump seat. If the jump seat
extension is not properly used, the child
restraint will not be installed correctly
and the child could be injured in a col-
lision or sudden stop.
cNever install a child restraint on the
driver’s side jump seat. A child restraint
can not be properly installed in the driv-
er’s side jump seat and the child could
be injured in a collision or sudden stop.
