Keep the outer and inner shoulder belts
together in the stowage clip to prevent the
potential of wrinkling the cargo shade.
Seatbelt Locking Modes
WARNINGS
After a crash, have a qualified
technician check all the seatbelts to
make sure the seatbelts including the
automatic locking retractor feature for child
restraints operate properly. We recommend
replacing any system that has damage or
does not operate properly. Failure to do so
can result in personal injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or another crash. You must replace the seatbelt if the
automatic locking retractor or any other
seatbelt function is not operating correctly.
Failure to replace the seatbelt and retractor
assembly could increase the risk of injury in
a crash. All safety restraints in the vehicle are
combination lap and shoulder belts. The
driver seatbelt has the vehicle sensitive
locking mode. The front outboard passenger
and rear seatbelts have both the vehicle
sensitive locking mode and the automatic
locking mode.
Vehicle Sensitive Mode
This is the normal retractor mode, which
allows free shoulder belt length adjustment
to your movements and locking in response
to vehicle movement. For example, if the
driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner
sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of
about 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the
combination seatbelts lock to help reduce
forward movement of the driver and
passengers.
In addition, the retractor is designed to lock
if you pull the webbing out too quickly. If the
seatbelt retractor locks, slowly lower the
height adjuster to allow the seatbelt to
retract. If the retractor does not unlock, pull
the seatbelt out slowly then feed a small length of webbing back toward the stowed
position. For rear seatbelts, recline the rear
seat backrest or push the seat backrest
cushion away from the seatbelt. Feed a small
length of webbing back toward the stowed
position.
Automatic Locking Mode
In this mode, the shoulder belt automatically
pre-locks. The belt retracts to remove any
slack in the shoulder belt. The automatic
locking mode is not available on the driver
seatbelt.
When to Use the Automatic Locking Mode
Use this mode any time a child safety seat,
except a booster, is installed in passenger
front or rear seating positions. Properly
restrain children 12 years old and under in a
rear seating position whenever possible.
See
Child Safety (page 18).
How to Use the Automatic Locking Mode
Non-inflatable seatbelts

MKT (TP4) , enUSA, Edition date: 201703, First Printing Seatbelts

Press the retainer on the seatbelt onto the
mating snap to stow. To use the seatbelt,
pull it away from the quarter trim panel.
SEATBELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT WARNING
Position the safety belt height adjuster
so that the belt rests across the middle
of your shoulder. Failure to adjust the safety
belt properly could reduce the effectiveness
of the safety belt and increase the risk of
injury in a crash. Adjust the height of the shoulder belt so the
belt rests across the middle of your shoulder. To adjust the shoulder belt height:
1.
Press the side release buttons and slide
the height adjuster up or down.
2. Release the buttons and pull down on the height adjuster to make sure it is
locked in place.
SEATBELT WARNING LAMP AND
INDICATOR CHIME This lamp illuminates and an
audible warning will sound if the
driver seatbelt has not been
fastened when the vehicle's ignition is turned
on.

Proper Driver and Front Passenger
Seating Adjustment
WARNING
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) recommends
a minimum distance of at least 10 in (25 cm)
between an occupant's chest and the driver
airbag module. To properly position yourself away from the
airbag:
•
Move your seat to the rear as far as you
can while still reaching the pedals
comfortably.
• Recline the seat slightly (one or two
degrees) from the upright position.
After all occupants have adjusted their seats
and put on seatbelts, it is very important that
they continue to sit properly. A properly
seated occupant sits upright, leaning against
the seatback, and centered on the seat
cushion, with their feet comfortably extended
on the floor. Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury in a crash event. For
example, if an occupant slouches, lies down,
turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward
or sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the
chance of injury during a crash is greatly
increased.
Children and Airbags
WARNING
Airbags can kill or injure a child in a
child restraint. Never place a
rear-facing child restraint in front of an active
airbag. If you must use a forward-facing child
restraint in the front seat, move the seat upon
which the child restraint is installed all the
way back. Children must always be properly restrained.
Accident statistics suggest that children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear
seating positions than in the front seating
position. Failure to follow these instructions
may increase the risk of injury in a crash.

REAR SEATS
Adjusting the Rear Seats
Second Row Seats WARNINGS
Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap belt snug
and low across the hips. Reclining the seatback can cause an
occupant to slide under the seat's
seatbelt, resulting in severe personal injuries
in the event of a crash. Recline Adjustment
Note:
For the bench seat only, make sure
the center seatbelt is unbuckled before
folding the seatback.
Lift the handle to adjust the seatback
rearward or forward. You can also fold the
seatback forward until it is flat. For the livery
version, you cannot fold the seatback flat or
tumble it forward. Moving the Seats Backward and Forward
(If Equipped)
Second-Row Power Lumbar Support (If
