ing the deactivated front door handle will

affected, resulting in a slower response
time.

entry door handles, but do NOT pull the
handle, the doors will automatically lock
after 30 seconds.

ter (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” in “Understand-
ing Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.

adjusting the belt to the desired length to
restrain a child seat or secure a large item in
a seat — if equipped
If you will be carrying children too small for
adult-sized seat belts, the seat belts or the
ISOFIX feature also can be used to hold infant
and child restraint systems. Refer to ISOFIX —
Child Seat Anchorage System for more infor-
mation.
NOTE:
The Advanced Front Airbags have a multi-
stage inflator design. This allows the airbag
to have different rates of inflation based on
the severity and type of collision.
Please pay close attention to the information in
this section. It tells you how to use your restraint
system properly, to keep you and your passen-
gers as safe as possible.
WARNING!
In an accident, you and your passengers can
suffer much greater injuries if you are not
properly buckled up. You can strike the interior
of your vehicle or other passengers, or you
can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be
sure you and others in your vehicle are buck-
led up properly.
Buckle up even though you are an excellent
driver, even on short trips. Someone on the
road may be a poor driver and cause an
accident that includes you. This can happen far
away from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives,
and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries
in an accident. Some of the worst injuries
happen when people are thrown from the ve-
hicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejec-
tion and the risk of injury caused by striking the
inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor
vehicle should be belted at all times.Lap/Shoulder BeltsAll seating positions in your vehicle are
equipped with lap/shoulder belts. The belt
webbing retractor is designed to lock during
very sudden stops or accidents. This feature
allows the shoulder part of the belt to move
freely with you under normal conditions. How-
ever, in an accident the belt will lock and
reduce the risk of you striking the inside of the
vehicle or being thrown out.
WARNING!
•Wearing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous.
Seat belts are designed to go around the
large bones of your body. These are the
strongest parts of your body and can take the
forces of an accident the best. Wearing your
belt in the wrong place could make your
injuries in an accident much worse. You
might suffer internal injuries, or you could
even slide out of part of the belt. Follow these
instructions to wear your seat belt safely and
to keep your passengers safe, too.

This safety belt system has a retractor assem-
bly that is designed to release webbing in a
controlled manner. This feature is designed to
help reduce the belt force acting on the occu-
pant’s chest.

replaced if the seat belt assembly Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) feature or
any other seat belt function is not working
properly when checked according to the
procedures in the Service Manual.
• Failure to replace the belt and retractor
assembly could increase the risk of injury in
accidents.

1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder
belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull down-
ward until the entire belt is extracted.
