Lap/Shoulder Belts
All seating positions except the Quad Cab, Mega Cab and Crew Cab front center
seating position have combination lap/shoulder belts.
The seat belt webbing retractor will lock only during very sudden stops or collisions.
This feature allows the shoulder part of the seat belt to move freely with you under
normal conditions. However, in a collision the seat belt will lock and reduce your risk
of striking the inside of the vehicle or being thrown out of the vehicle.
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions,
the air bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt even though you have
air bags.
• In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and
others in your vehicle are buckled up properly.
• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
Occupants, including the driver, should always wear their seat belts whether or
not an air bag is also provided at their seating position to minimize the risk of
severe injury or death in the event of a crash.
• Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could make your injuries in a collision much
worse. You might suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out of the seat
belt. Follow these instructions to wear your seat belt safely and to keep your
passengers safe, too.
• Two people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together
can crash into one another in a collision, hurting one another badly. Never use
a lap/shoulder belt or a lap belt for more than one person, no matter what their
size.
