OCCUPANT RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle are the restraint
systems:
Occupant Restraint Systems Features
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems
(SRS) Air Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described in
this section may be standard equipment
on some models, or may be optional
equipment on others. If you are not sure,
ask your authorized dealer.
Important Safety Precautions
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
passengers as safe as possible.
Here are some simple steps you can take
to minimize the risk of harm from a
deploying air bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in the rear
seat of a vehicle with a rear seat. 2. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in
a rear-facing child restraint) must ride in
the front passenger seat, move the seat
as far back as possible and use the
proper child restraint (refer to “Child
Restraints” in this section for further
information).
3. Children that are not big enough to
wear the vehicle seat belt properly (refer
to “Child Restraints” in this section for
further information) should be secured in
the rear seat of a vehicle with a rear seat
in child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats. Older children who do not
use child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats should ride properly
buckled up in the rear seat of a vehicle
with a rear seat.
4. Never allow children to slide the
shoulder belt behind them or under their
arm.
5. You should read the instructions
provided with your child restraint to
make sure that you are using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear
their lap and shoulder belts properly.
7. The driver and front passenger seats
should be moved back as far as practical
to allow the front air bags room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or
window. If your vehicle has side air bags,
and deployment occurs, the side air bags
will inflate forcefully into the space
between occupants and the door and
occupants could be injured.
9. If the air bag system in this vehicle
needs to be modified to accommodate a
disabled person, refer to the “Customer
Assistance” section for customer service
contact information.
Warning!
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
front air bag can cause death or serious
injury to a child 12 years or younger,
including a child in a rear-facing child
restraint.
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in
the rear seat of a vehicle with a rear seat.

Warning!
Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could
make your injuries in a collision much worse.
You might suffer internal injuries, or you
could even slide out of the seat belt. Follow
these instructions to wear your seat belt
safely and to keep your passengers safe,
too.
Position the shoulder belt across the
shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack
so that it is comfortable and not resting on
your neck. The retractor will withdraw any
slack in the shoulder belt.
Misadjustment of the seat belt could
reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt
in a crash.
Seat Belts And Pregnant Women
Seat belts must be worn by all occupants
including pregnant women: the risk of
injury in the event of an accident is reduced for the mother and the unborn
child if they are wearing a seat belt.
Position the lap belt snug and low below
the abdomen and across the strong
bones of the hips. Place the shoulder belt
across the chest and away from the neck.
Never place the shoulder belt behind the
back or under the arm.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
The front seat belt system is equipped
with pretensioning devices that are
designed to remove slack from the seat
belt in the event of a collision. These
devices may improve the performance of
the seat belt by removing slack from the
seat belt early in a collision.
Pretensioners work for all size
occupants, including those in child
restraints.
Note:
These devices are not a substitute
for proper seat belt placement by the
occupant. The seat belt still must be worn
snugly and positioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
Like the air bags, the pretensioners are
single use items. A deployed
pretensioner or a deployed air bag must
be replaced immediately.
Energy Management Feature
The front seat belt system is equipped
with an Energy Management feature that
may help further reduce the risk of injury
in the event of a collision. The seat belt system has a retractor assembly that is
designed to release webbing in a
controlled manner.
Switchable Automatic Locking
Retractors (ALR)
The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with a Switchable
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) which
is used to secure a child restraint system.
For additional information, refer to
“Installing Child Restraints Using The
Vehicle Seat Belt” under the “Child
Restraints” section of this manual. The
figure below illustrates the locking
feature for each seating position.
If the passenger seating position is
equipped with an ALR and is being used
for normal usage, only pull the seat belt
webbing out far enough to comfortably
wrap around the occupant’s mid-section
so as to not activate the ALR. If the ALR
is activated, you will hear a clicking sound
as the seat belt retracts. Allow the
