Seatbelt Locking Modes
WARNINGS
After a crash, have a qualifiedtechnician check all the seatbelts tomake sure the seatbelts includingthe automatic locking retractor feature forchild restraints operate properly. Werecommend replacing any system that hasdamage or does not operate properly.Failure to do so can result in personal injuryor death in the event of a sudden stop oranother crash.
You must replace the seatbelt if theautomatic locking retractor or anyother seatbelt function is notoperating correctly. Failure to replace theseatbelt and retractor assembly couldincrease the risk of injury in a crash.
All safety restraints in your vehicle arecombination lap and shoulder belts. Thedriver seatbelt has the first type of lockingmode. The front outermost passenger andrear seat seatbelts have both types oflocking modes described as follows:
Vehicle Sensitive Mode
This is the normal retractor mode whichallows free shoulder belt lengthadjustment to your movements andlocking in response to vehicle movement.For example, if you brake suddenly or turna corner sharply, or your vehicle receivesan impact of approximately 5 mph(8 km/h) or more, the combinationseatbelts lock to help reduce forwardmovement of the driver and passengers.
In addition, the retractor is designed to lockif you pull the webbing out too quickly. Ifthe seatbelt retractor locks, slowly lowerthe height adjuster to allow the seatbeltto retract. If the retractor does not unlock,pull the seatbelt out slowly then feed asmall length of webbing back toward thestowed position. For rear seatbelts, reclinethe rear seat backrest or push the seatbackrest cushion away from the seatbelt.Feed a small length of webbing backtoward the stowed position.
Automatic Locking Mode
In this mode, the shoulder beltautomatically pre-locks. The seatbelt stillretracts to remove any slack in theshoulder belt. The automatic locking modeis not available on the driver seatbelt.
Using Automatic Locking Mode
You should use automatic locking modewhen a child safety seat, except a booster,is on the front passenger seat or rear seat.Children 12 years old and under should becorrectly restrained in a rear seatingposition whenever possible. See ChildSafety (page 16).
