The Seat Belt System and How It Works
Your seat belt system also
includes a light on the
instrument panel to remind you
to fasten your seat belt and to
make sure your passengers
fasten theirs. This light comes on
when you turn on the ignition if
you have not fastened your seat
belt. A beeper also sounds for
several seconds (see page
30
).
The following pages cover more
about the seat belt components
and how they work.
Lap/Shoulder Belt
This style of seat belt has a
single belt that goes over your
shoulder, across your chest and
across your hips.
Each lap/shoulder belt has an
emergency locking retractor. In
normal driving, the retractor lets
you move freely in your seat
while it keeps some tension on
the belt. During a collision or
sudden stop, the retractor
automatically locks the belt to
help restrain your body.
The lap/shoulder belt retractor
in each passenger seating
position has an additional
locking mechanism that is
intended to secure a child seat
(see page
21
). If the shoulder
part of the belt is pulled all the
way out, this mechanism will
engage. The belt will retract, but
it will not allow the passenger to
move freely. If the belt feels too
tight, unlatch it, let it retract
fully, then pull it out as far as
needed.
Lap Belt
The lap belt has one manually
adjusted belt that fits across the
hips. It is similar to safety belts
used in airplanes.
