Seat Belts and Emergency Ten­
sioning Retractor (ETR)
Your vehicle is equipped with seat
belts for all seats and emergency ten­
sioning retractors for the front seats.
The tensioning retractors are located
in each belt’s inertia reel and become
operationally ready with the key in
steering lock position 1 or 2.
Important!
Laws in your state may require seat
belt use.
Seat Belt Warning System:
With the key in steering lock posi­
tion 2, a warning buzzer sounds for a
short time if the driver’s seat belt is not
fastened.
W hen someone enters the car the re­
minder lamp, located below the front
interior/reading lamp, flashes for a
short time to remind all occupants to
fasten seat belts.
Fastening:
• Pull belt with latch plate (1) across
shoulder and lap so that the lap
belt is positioned as low on your
hips as possible. Do not twist the
belt. For safety reasons, avoid
adjusting the seat into positions
which could affect the correct seat
belt position.
• Push latch plate (1) into buckle (2)
until it clicks.
