The front seats and the rear outboard seats are provided with retracting inertia belts.

●

●
if the vehicle is leaning excessively
●
when driving in turns
Check seat belt mechanism function as follows:
●
Attach the seat belt. Pull heavily on the strap.
●
Brake firmly from approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) or drive in a tight circle (check other traffic
first!). Pull the belt.
