Safety belt warning system
An audiovisual warning system is inter-
connected with the driver's safety belt.
Every time the ignition is turned on, the seat
belts warning light in the center console will
come on for about 6 seconds as a reminder to
buckle up. If the driver does not fasten the
safety belt, the gong will continue for the dura-
tion of this 6 second period. The gong will go
off as soon as the driver has buckled up.
Inertia reel retractor
The combination lap/shoulder belt with inertia
reel locking mechanism adjusts automatically
to your size and movements as long as the pull
on the belt is slow.
Rapid deceleration during hard braking or a
collision locks the belt. The belt will also lock
when you drive up or down a steep hill or in a
sharp curve otherwise the shoulder belt will
not inhibit your upper body movement.
• To fasten, grasp belt and pull belt in contin-
uous slow motion across your chest and lap.
• Insert belt tongue into buckle on inboard side
of seat. Push down until it securely locks
with an audible click. Pull belt to check.
• Pull shoulder section to make sure belt fits
snugly across the hips.
• Belts should fit snugly across the pelvis and
chest. Make sure any slack is wound on the
retractor.
