During a crash of sufficient force, theinflatable belt inflates from inside thewebbing.
The fully inflated belt's increased diametermore effectively holds the occupant in theappropriate seating position, and spreadscrash forces over more area of the body thanregular seatbelts. This helps reduce pressureon the chest and helps control head andneck motion for passengers.
The rear inflatable seatbelts are designed toinflate in frontal or near-frontal crashes, someside impact crashes and rollovers. The factthat the rear inflatable seatbelt did not inflatein a crash does not mean that something iswrong with the system. Rather, it means theforces were not of the type sufficient tocause activation.
Stowing the Rear Inflatable Seatbelt
The rear inflatable seatbelt has a snapretainer for stowing the seatbelt against thequarter trim panel when it is not in use. Thisprevents the seatbelt tongue from rattlingagainst the side of the seat and keeps it outof the way when folding or tumbling thesecond row seats.
Press the retainer on the seatbelt onto themating snap to stow. To use the seatbelt,pull it away from the quarter trim panel.
SEATBELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: Position the safety beltheight adjuster so that the belt rests acrossthe middle of your shoulder. Failure toadjust the safety belt properly couldreduce the effectiveness of the safety beltand increase the risk of injury in a crash.
