3.
Pull the larger tongue across the lap and
insert it into the buckle to the right of the
center seat.
Note: If in constant use, you can leave the
belt buckled in the smaller buckle. When it
is not in use, or when you fold or move the
rear seats, you should release the belt from
the smaller buckle. Using the tongue of the
adjacent seatbelt, press the red button on
the smaller buckle.
Using Seatbelts During Pregnancy WARNING: Always ride and drive
with your seatback upright and properly
fasten your seatbelt. Fit the lap portion of
the seatbelt snugly and low across the
hips. Position the shoulder portion of the
seatbelt across your chest. Pregnant
women must follow this practice. See the
following figure. Pregnant women should always wear their
seatbelt. Position the lap belt portion of a
combination lap and shoulder belt low across
the hips below the belly and worn as tight
as comfort allows. Position the shoulder belt
to cross the middle of the shoulder and the
center of the chest.
Seatbelt Locking Modes
WARNING: If your vehicle is involved
in a crash, have the seatbelts and
associated components inspected as soon
as possible. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death. 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
48
Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First-Printing SeatbeltsE142590
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 still 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 when you install a child safety
seat, except a booster, in the passenger front
or rear seating positions. Properly restrain
children 12 years old and under in a rear
seating position whenever possible. See
Seatbelts (page 45).
How to Use the Automatic Locking Mode
Non-Inflatable Seatbelts 1.
Buckle the combination lap and shoulder
belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until you pull the entire belt
out. As the belt retracts, you will hear a
clicking sound. This indicates the seatbelt
is now in the automatic locking mode.
Rear Outermost Inflatable Seatbelts (Second
Row Only–If Equipped) 1.
Buckle the combination lap and shoulder
belt.
2. Grasp the lap portion of the belt and pull
upward until you pull the entire belt out.
3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.
This indicates the seatbelt is now in the
automatic locking mode.

Possible Cause
Symptom
An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from corre\
ctly aligning
your vehicle.
Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be correctly parked.
Your vehicle stopped too far past the parking space.
The tires may not be correctly installed or maintained. For example, not inflated correctly,
improper size, or of different sizes.
A repair or alteration changes the detection capabilities.
A parked vehicle has a high attachment. For example, a salt sprayer, snowplow or moving
truck bed.
The parking space length or position of parked objects changes after your vehicle passes
the space.
The temperature around your vehicle quickly changes. For example, driving from a
heated garage into the cold, or after leaving a car wash.

length is
25 ft (7.6 m), toggle the length in
the menu to 27 ft (8.2 m). When you enter
the length of the trailer, the system setup is
saved.
Note: If the trailer is a bike rack or cargo
rack with electrical lighting, enter a length
of
3 ft (1 m). Cross Traffic Alert remains on
for trailers with a length of 3 ft (1 m) or less.
Note: Proper measurement and
measurement entry is required for the
system to function as designed. System Operation
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,
the trailer set up menu appears in the
information display. This menu allows you to
set up a new trailer or choose from a
previously set up trailer. A warning message
appears and the system turns off if you do
not choose or add a new trailer.
Note:
The warning message may not appear
until your vehicle speed reaches
22 mph
(35 km/h).
If you select a trailer in the information
display before connecting a trailer to your
vehicle, the system loads the configuration
for the selected trailer. When a trailer is
connected, a warning message appears.
Note: A second warning message may
appear stating that the Cross Traffic Alert
system has turned off. The Blind Spot
Information System with Trailer Tow
continues to function normally in this
situation.
Note: The system remembers the last
selected trailer set up when you start your
vehicle. Trailer Considerations
The system is designed to work with a trailer
with a front width of 8.5 ft (2.6 m) or less, and
a total length from the trailer hitch ball to the
rear of the trailer of
33 ft (10.1 m) or less.
Some trailers may cause a slight change in
system performance:
• Large box trailers may cause false alerts
to occur when driving next to
infrastructures or near parked cars. A
false alert may also occur while making
a 90 degree turn.
• Trailers that have a width greater than
8.5 ft (2.6 m)
at the front and have a total
length greater than 20 ft (6 m) may cause
delayed alerts when a vehicle is passing
at high speeds.
• Box trailers that have a width greater than
8.5 ft (2.6 m)
at the front may cause early
alerts when you pass a vehicle.
• Clam shell or V-Nose box trailers with a
width greater than
8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the
front may cause delayed alerts when a
vehicle traveling the same speed as your
vehicle merges lanes.

Cross Traffic Alert System Sensors
The sensors are behind the rear bumper on
both sides of your vehicle.
Note:
Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: Do not cover the sensors with bumper
stickers, repair compound or other objects.
Note: Blocked sensors could affect system
performance.
If the sensors are blocked, a message may
appear in the information display when you
shift into reverse (R). Cross Traffic Alert System Limitations
The system may not correctly operate when
any of the following occur:
•
The sensors are blocked.
• Adjacently parked vehicles or objects are
obstructing the sensors.
• Vehicles approach at speeds less than
4 mph (6 km/h) or greater than 37 mph
(60 km/h).
• The vehicle speed is greater than 7 mph
(12 km/h)
.
• You reverse out of an angled parking
space.
Cross Traffic Alert Behavior When
Trailer is Attached
Note: The system may not correctly operate
when towing a trailer. For vehicles with an
approved trailer tow module and tow bar,
the system turns off when you attach a
trailer. For vehicles with an aftermarket
trailer tow module or tow bar, we
recommend that you switch the system off
when you attach a trailer. Cross traffic alert remains on when you
attach a trailer in vehicles that come with
blind spot information system with trailer tow
under the following conditions:
•
You connect a trailer.
• The trailer is a bike rack or cargo rack
with a maximum length of
3 ft (1 m).
• You set the trailer length to
3 ft (1 m) in
the information display.
See
Blind Spot Information System (page
288).
Switching the System On and Off
To switch the system on or off, adjust the
setting. Depending on your vehicle options,
the setting could be in the following:
• Information display.
See General
Information (page 134).
• Touchscreen.
See Settings (page 515).
Note: The system turns on every time you
switch the ignition on. To permanently switch
the system off, contact an authorized dealer.

Use the supplied measurement card, a tape
measure and pen to carefully mark the area
where to attach the sticker (supplied in the
back cover pocket of your quick start guide).
Make sure the whole sticker is within the
zone between the two arcs or distance
markers on the diagram, and is also visible
in the rear view camera display.
Step 4: Take Measurements
After you correctly place the sticker on the
trailer, you must take some key
measurements.
Note:
You must take accurate
measurements for the system to operate
properly.
Note: When rounding in inches, round
upward if the measured length is a quarter
inch or greater. Round downward if the
measured length is less than a quarter inch.
For example 12.25 in (31.11 cm) would be
rounded up to 12.50 in (31.75 cm). 12.13 in
(30.8 cm) would be rounded down to 12.00 in
(30.48 cm)
. Note:
When rounding in centimeters, round
to the nearest whole centimeter. If the
measurement is less than
0.2 in (0.5 cm)
round downward. If the measurement is
more than or equal to
0.2 in (0.5 cm) round
upward. For example, 11.9 in (30.3 cm) would
be rounded down to 11.8 in (30 cm). 12.0 in
(30.5 cm) would be rounded up to 12.2 in
(31 cm).
Note: Use consistent metric or imperial units
as required by your country or vehicle.
Record the four key distances (A, B, C, D) as
required by the measurement card. Record
the trailer name for these measurements. Distance A
The horizontal distance from the bumper to
the center of the ball hitch on the trailer.
Distance B
The horizontal distance from the center of
the ball hitch to the center of the sticker.
Distance C
The distance from the rear view camera to
the center of the sticker.
