1. Pull the seat belt out slowly.
2. Insert the latch plate into the
buckle, then tug on the belt to make
sure the buckle is secure. Make
sure that the belt is not twisted or
caught on anything.
3. Position the lap part of the belt as
low as possible across your hips,
then pull up on the shoulder part of
the belt so the lap part fits snugly.
This lets your strong pelvic bones
take the force of a crash and
reduces the chance of internal
inquiries.
4. If necessary, pull up on the belt
again to remove any slack, then
make sure that the belt rests across
the center of your chest and over
your shoulder. This spreads the
forces of a crash over the strongest
bones in your upper body.
To release the belt, push the red PRESS
button then guide the belt by hand until
it has retracted completely.
Improperly positioning the seat belt can cause serious injury or death in a
crash.
Make sure all seat belts are properly positioned before driving.

Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with several types of airbags: front airbags, side
airbags, and side curtain airbags.
n
Front Airbags (SRS)
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to
help protect the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger. They
are housed in the center of the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger. Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are
designed to supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the
occupant's primary restraint system.
n
Advanced Airbags
The front airbags have advanced features to help reduce the likelihood of
airbag related injuries to smaller occupants.
The driver's advanced front airbag system includes a seat position sensor.
Based on information from this sensor and the severity of the impact, the
advanced airbag system determines the optimal deployment of the driver's
airbag.
The front passenger's advanced airbag system has weight sensors.
We advise against allowing a child age 12 or under to ride in the front
passenger's seat. However, if you do allow a child age 12 or under to ride in
