Seat Belts
If you have been driving in an extremely muddy or dusty area, be
sure to inspect your belt and remove any dirt or debris before letting
the belt retract into the retractor. Failure to do so could clog the
retractor and make it inoperable.
Each seat belt has an emergency locking retractor. In normal driving
conditions, the retractor lets you move freely in your seat while
keeping some tension on the belt. During a crash or rollover, the
retractor automatically locks the belt to help restrain your body.
Do not put any accessories on a seat belt, as that may reduce the
effectiveness of the belt and increase the chance of injury in a crash.
If a seat belt is worn in a crash, the seat belt assembly must be
replaced by your dealer. A belt that has been worn during a crash
may not provide the same level of protection in a subsequent
incident. The dealer should check the retractor and replace it if
needed.
