Wearing the Front Seat Belts
The front seats have automatic ("passive") restraint systems
consisting of shoulder belts and knee bolsters. For your safety, the
manual lap belts must be worn together with the automatic
shoulder belts. The shoulder belts must remain permanently latched.
The automatic and manual belts have emergency locking retractors
designed to lock only during a sudden stop or impact. Otherwise,
they allow some freedom of movement in the seat.
Operation
1.Enter the car and close the door
completely. Move the seat a
comfortable distance from the
steering wheel, sit straight up and
well back in the seat.
Never drive the car with the doors
ajar. The front doors must be
closed completely for the front
seat belts to function properly.
2. Turn the ignition ON. The shoulder belt buckle will move to its
rear locked position. The length of the shoulder belt will adjust
automatically to your body and seating position.
Make sure the shoulder belt goes over your shoulder and across
your body to evenly distribute the belt's restraining force.
If the belt is too near your neck and throat, move toward the
center of the seat.
Normal movement of the shoulder belt buckle may cause injury.
Be sure all parts of your body, especially fingers and hands, are
clear of the shoulder buckle while it is moving.
