Safety belt restraint system
We strongly recommend that the driver
and all passengers be properly
restrained at all times by using the safety
belts provided with the vehicle. Proper
use of the safety belts decreases the risk
of severe injury or death in accidents or
sudden stops. In most states, and in
Canada, the law requires their use. All seats have lap/shoulder belts. Inertial
locks in the safety belt retractors allow all
of the lap/shoulder safety belts to remain
unlocked during normal vehicle opera-
tion. This allows the occupants some
freedom of movement and increased
comfort while using the safety belts. If a
force is applied to the vehicle, such as a
strong stop, a sharp turn, or a collision,
the safety belt retractors will automatical-
ly lock the safety belts.
Since the inertial locks do not require a
collision in order to lock up, you may
become aware of the safety belts locking
while braking or going around sharp cor-
ners.
Always use the rear seat position(s) to
install your child restraint(s).
The rear (or front passenger) safety belts
use a special auto-lock feature designed
to allow a child restraint to be used in
these positions without an added locking
clip. They normally lock only under
extreme or emergency conditions (emer-
gency lock mode). However they can be
adjusted so that they remain fixed and
locked when a child restraint system is
placed in these positions. (Use this auto-
lock mode only to secure a child
restraint, never for passengers restrained
by the safety belts.)
The drivers safety belt can only operate
in the emergency lock mode.
Safety belts provide the best restraint
when:
The seatback is upright.
The occupant is sitting upright (not
slouched).
The lap belt is snug across the hips.
The shoulder belt is snug across the chest.
The knees are straight forward.
SAFETY BELTS
WARNING- Safety belts
To minimize the risk of serious or
fatal injury in an accident, the driver
and all passengers should use the
appropriate safety restraints for
their age and size. The presence of
air bags does not change the need
to be properly restrained by a safe-
ty belt or size-appropriate child
restraint. In fact, air bags are
designed to work the best when
passengers are correctly restrained
in the vehicle.
Be sure you are familiar with the information in this section,
including the information on
infant and child restraints.
Read the safety warnings on the sun visors of your vehicle also.
WARNING- Child restraint
in front seat
Never install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger position,
as an inflating air bag could cause
serious or fatal injury to a child in
that position.

Lap/shoulder belt
To fasten the lap/shoulder belt:
1. Grasp the buckle and tongue plate.
2. Slowly pull the lap/shoulder belt outfrom the retractor. 3. Insert the tongue plate (1) into the
open end of the buckle (2) until an
audible “click” is heard, indicating the
belt is locked in the buckle. 4. Position the lap portion (2) of the belt
across your lap as LOW ON THE HIPS
as possible to reduce the risk of sliding
under it during an accident. Adjust the
belt to a SNUG FIT by pulling up on
the shoulder portion (1) of the safety
belt. The belt retractor is designed to
take up excess webbing automatically
and to maintain tension on the belt. For
your safety, do not put any excess
slack into the safety belt at any loca-
tion.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If you are not able to pull out the safety
belt from the retractor, firmly pull the
belt out and release it. Then you will be
able to pull the belt out smoothly.

5. Adjust the shoulder anchor position to
your size. To raise the anchor position,
push the anchor up (1). To lower the
anchor position, press (2) the button
(A) and slide the anchor down (3).
After adjustment, make sure the
anchor is locked in position. (if
equipped)
If the height of the adjusting seat belt is
too near your neck, you will not be getting
the most effective protection. The shoul-
der portion should be adjusted so that it
lies across your chest and midway over
your shoulder nearest the door and not
your neck. To unfasten the lap/shoulder belt:
Press the release button on the buckle
and allow the belt to slowly retract.
4GQB0338
WARNING
The height adjuster must be in
the locked position when the
vehicle is moving.
The misadjustment of height of the shoulder belt could reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt
in a crash.
