The lap/shoulder belt in the center
seating position on the rear seat is
equipped with a detachable anchor
that has two parts: a small latch plate
and an anchor buckle.
For added protection, the front seat
belts are equipped with automatic
seat belt tensioners. When activated,
the tensioners immediately tighten
the belts to help hold the driver and
a front passenger in place.
The tensioners are designed to
activate primarily in frontal collisions,
and they should activate in any
collision severe enough to cause
front-airbag inflation.
The detachable anchor should
normally be latched whenever the
seat-backs are in an upright position.
For more information about the
detachable anchors (see page
).
The tensioners can also be activated
during a collision in which the front
airbags do not deploy. In this case,
the airbags would not be needed, but
the additional restraint could be
helpful.
When the tensioners are activated,
the seat belts will remain tight until
they are unbuckled in the normal
manner.
The tensioners are also designed to
activate when sensors detect side
impact and when your vehicle is
about to roll over (see page
).
