WARNING:
Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle
that has been closed up in sunny weather; they could burn a
small child. Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child
anywhere near them.
WARNING:
Front seat occupants, including pregnant women,
should wear safety belts for optimum protection in an accident.
All seating positions in this vehicle have lap and shoulder safety belts.
All occupants of the vehicle should always properly wear their safety
belts, even when an airbag supplemental restraint system is provided.
The safety belt system consists of:
•
Lap and shoulder safety belts.
•
Shoulder safety belt with automatic locking mode (except driver
safety belt).
•
Height adjuster at the front outboard seating positions.
•
Safety belt pretensioner at the front outboard seating positions.
•
Safety belt warning light and chime. See
Safety belt warning
light and indicator chime.
•
Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness
indicator. See
Crash sensors and airbag indicator
in the
Supplemental Restraints System
chapter.
The safety belt pretensioners are designed to activate in frontal or
near-frontal crashes and may deploy in rollovers if the vehicle is
equipped with roll stability control. The safety belt pretensioners at the
front seating positions are designed to tighten the safety belts firmly
against the occupant’s body when activated. This helps increase the
effectiveness of the safety belts.
