OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety featur es in your vehicle are the restraint systems. These include the front and rear seat belts for the driver and all passengers, front airbags for both the driver and front passenger and side airbags, if equipped, for both the driver and right front passenger . If you will be carrying childr[...]

Lap/Shoulder Belts All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with Lap/Shoulder Belts. The belt webbing retractor will lock only during very sudden stops or collisions. This feature allows the shoul- der part of the belt to move freely with you under normal conditions. But in a collision, the belt will lock and reduce your risk of striking [...]

Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the front seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of your seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt go around your lap. 3. When the belt is long enoug[...]

W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well. In a sudden stop you could move too far forward, increasing [...]

W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos- sible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well. In a collision it could even cut into you. Be sure the [...]

Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front seats, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downward to position the belt away from your neck.

If the vehicle is equipped with side airbags, they are located inside the driver and front passenger seats, and their covers are also labeled SRS AIRBAG. W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are not there to p[...]

Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instru- ment panel knee bolsters to provide impr oved protection for the driver and front passenger . Side airbags also work with seat belts to improve occupant protection. The seat belts are designed to protect you in many types of collisions.[...]

4. If your vehicle has side airbags, do not lean against the door , airbags will inflate forcefully into the space be- tween you and the door . W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions the airbags won’t deploy at[...]

• When the airbag control module detects an impact requiring the front airbags, it signals the inflator units. A large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the airbags. The airbag covers separate and fold out of the way as the airbags inflate to their full size. The airbags fully inflate in about 60 milliseconds. This is only about ha[...]

• As the airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-product of the process that generates the nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation. These airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye irritation, rinse the area with cool water . For nose or throat irritation, m[...]

• In moderate to severe side collisions, the side airbag inflator on the crash side of the vehicle is triggered, releasing a quantity of nontoxic gas. The inflating side airbag exits through the seat seam into the space between the occupant and the door . The side airbag moves at a very high speed and with such a high force, that it could injure [...]

Airbag Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready for your protection in an impact. While the airbag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately . • The AIRBAG light does not come on or flickers during the 6 to 8 seconds when the ignition switch is first t[...]

Infants and Child Restraints • Safety experts recommend that childr en ride rearwar d-facing in the vehicle until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). T wo types of child restraints can be used rearwar d-facing: infant carriers and “convertible” child seats. • The infant carrier is only used rearward-facing in th[...]

Here are some tips on getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. W e also recommend that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats where you will use it before you buy it. • The restraint must be appropriate for [...]

Children T oo Large For Booster Seats Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably , and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback, should use the lap/shoulder belt in the rear seat. • Make sure that the child is upright in the seat. • The lap portion should be l[...]

All three r ear seating positions have lower anchorages that are capable of accomodating LA TCH-compatible child seats. These are round bars, located at the lower ar ea of the seat back.

Y ou will first loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap so that you can mor e easily attach the hooks or connectors over the top of the anchorage bars, pushing aside the seat cover material. Then lift the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint and attach the tether strap to[...]

buckle and twist the short buckle-end belt several times to shorten it. Insert the latch plate into the buckle with the release button facing out. If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if by pulling and pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, you may need to do something more. Disconnect the latch plate from the buckle, turn the buckle arou[...]

3. Attach the tether strap hook (A) of the child r estraint to the anchor (B) and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc- tions. W ARNING!
