SEAT BELT

• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack

in the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it

is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the

risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.

• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not

resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.

• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a

collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear

your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.

• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you

could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat

belt snugly.

• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no

protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or

loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not

disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced

after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.).

• The seat belts for both front seating positions may be equipped with

pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in

the event of a collision.

• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.

WARNING!

In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you

are not buckled up properly. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other

passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and

others in your vehicle are buckled up properly.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS

• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right front

passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced

Front Air Bags will not deploy in every type of collision.

• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by

supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on the

severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to

reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.

• This vehicle may be equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable

Curtains to protect the driver, front and rear passengers sitting next to a

window.
