Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position
when the vehicle is in motion
can be dangerous. Even
when buckled up, the seat
belts cannot do their job.
The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. Instead, it
will be in front of you. In a
crash, you could go into it,
receiving neck or other
injuries.
The lap belt could go up
over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not
at your pelvic bones. This
could cause serious internal
injuries.
For proper protection when
the vehicle is in motion, have
the seatback upright. Then
sit well back in the seat and
wear the seat belt properly.

in use to prevent the latch
plate from rattling against the
interior trim.
Always stow the seat belt
slowly. If the seat belt webbing
returns quickly to the stowed
position, the retractor may
lock and cannot be pulled out.
If this happens, pull the seat
belt straight out firmly to
unlock the webbing, and then
release it. If the webbing is still
locked in the retractor, see
your dealer.
Before a door is closed, be
sure the seat belt is out of the
way. If a door is slammed
against a seat belt, damage
can occur to both the seat
belt and the vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height
Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder
belt height adjuster for the
driver and front outboard
passenger seating positions.Adjust the height so the
shoulder portion of the belt is
on the shoulder and not falling
off of it. The belt should be
close to, but not contacting,
the neck. Improper shoulder
belt height adjustment could
reduce the effectiveness of
the seat belt in a crash. See
How to Wear Seat Belts
Properly
057.Press the release button and
move the height adjuster to
the desired position. The
adjuster can be moved up by
pushing the slide/trim up.
After the adjuster is set to the desired position, try to move it
down without pressing the
release button to make sure it
has locked into position.

Tightening System
The vehicle may have the
Automatic Seat Belt
Tightening System.
Each time the vehicle is
started with the front seat
belts buckled, the system
activates once to tighten the
seat belts when the forward
vehicle speed exceeds the
threshold for activation.
The system also activates
during emergency braking
and/or sudden driving
maneuvers and releases when
driving conditions return to
normal.
The system will not activate if
