SAFETY
86
Position the lap belt snug and low below the
abdomen and across the strong bones of the
hips. Place the shoulder belt across the
chest and away from the neck. Never place
the shoulder belt behind the back or under
the arm.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
The front outboard seat belt system is
equipped with pretensioning devices that are
designed to remove slack from the seat belt
in the event of a collision. These devices may
improve the performance of the seat belt by
removing slack from the seat belt early in a
collision. Pretensioners work for all size
occupants, including those in child
restraints.
NOTE:
These devices are not a substitute for proper
seat belt placement by the occupant. The
seat belt still must be worn snugly and posi
-
tioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the Occu -
pant Restraint Controller (ORC). Like the air
bags, the pretensioners are single use items.
A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air
bag must be replaced immediately.
Energy Management Feature
The front outboard seat belt system is
equipped with an Energy Management
feature that may help further reduce the risk
of injury in the event of a collision. The seat
belt system has a retractor assembly that is
designed to release webbing in a controlled
manner.
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALR)
The seat belts in the passenger seating posi -
tions are equipped with a Switchable Auto -
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) which is used
to secure a child restraint system. For addi
-
tional information, refer to “Installing Child
Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt”
under the “Child Restraints” section of this
manual. The figure below illustrates the
locking feature for each seating position.
ALR — Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor
If the passenger seating position is equipped
with an ALR and is being used for normal
usage, only pull the seat belt webbing out far
enough to comfortably wrap around the
occupant’s mid-section so as to not activate
the ALR. If the ALR is activated, you will
hear a clicking sound as the seat belt
retracts. Allow the webbing to retract
completely in this case and then carefully
pull out only the amount of webbing neces
-
sary to comfortably wrap around the occu -
pant’s mid-section. Slide the latch plate into
the buckle until you hear a "click."
In Automatic Locking Mode, the shoulder
belt is automatically pre-locked. The seat
belt will still retract to remove any slack in
the shoulder belt. Use the Automatic
Locking Mode anytime a child restraint is
installed in a seating position that has a seat
belt with this feature. Children 12 years old
and under should always be properly
restrained in the rear seat of a vehicle with a
rear seat.
WARNING!

Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in front of an air bag. A deploying
passenger front air bag can cause death
or serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a
rear-facing child restraint.

Never install a rear-facing child restraint
in the front seat of a vehicle. Only use a
rear-facing child restraint in the rear
seat. If the vehicle does not have a rear
seat, do not transport a rear-facing child
restraint in that vehicle.
