Seat belts – buckling/unbuckling Seat belts should be used by all occupants in the vehicle when it is in motion.
Buckling a seat beltPull the belt out far enough to insert the latch plate into the receptacle until a distinct click isheard. The seat belt retractor is normally"unlocked" and you can move freely, providedthat the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far.
Adjusting seat belt height (front seat belts only)
Adjusting seat belt height
The height of the shoulder section of the seat belt must be correctly adjusted. Press the buttonand move the upper seat belt anchor to positionit as high as possible so that the shoulder sectionof the belt is across the seat occupant's collar-bone and not across the throat.
Correct height adjustment
Incorrect height adjustment
Seat belt retractor
The seat belt retractor will lock up in the fol- lowing situations:
• if the belt is pulled out rapidly
• during braking and acceleration •
if the vehicle is leaning excessively
• when driving in turns
• if the Automatic Locking Retractor/Emer-gency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) is acti-vated
NOTE
Each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with the ALR/ELR function, whichis designed to help keep the seat belt taut.ALR/ELR activates if the seat belt is pulledout as far as possible. If this is done, a soundfrom the seat belt retractor will be audible,which is normal, and the seat belt will bepulled taut and locked in place. This functionis automatically disabled when the seat belt isunbuckled and fully retracted.
See also Child restraints (p. 50) for information about using a seat belt's ALR/ELR function toanchor a child seat.
When wearing the seat belt remember:
•The belt should not be twisted or turned.
• The lap section of the belt must be posi-tioned low on the hips (not pressing againstthe abdomen).
• Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled upinto its retractor and that the shoulder andlap belts are taut.
