How to disengage the automatic locking mode

Disconnect the combination lap/shoulder belt and allow it to retract

completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the

vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.

After any vehicle collision, the safety belt systems at all seating

positions (except the driver position, which doesn’t have this

feature) must be checked by a qualified technician to verify that the

automatic locking retractor feature for child seats is still functioning

properly. In addition, all safety belts should be checked for proper

function.

BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED if

the safety belt assembly “automatic locking retractor” feature or

any other safety belt function is not operating properly when checked

according to the procedures in Workshop Manual. Failure to replace

the Belt and Retractor assembly could increase the risk of injury in

collisions.

Safety belt height adjustment

Your vehicle has safety belt height

adjustments at the front outboard

seating positions. Adjust the height

of the shoulder belt so the belt rests

across the middle of your shoulder.

To adjust the shoulder belt height,

squeeze and hold the buttons on the

side and slide the height adjuster up

or down. Release the buttons and

pull down on the height adjuster to

make sure it is locked in place.

Position the safety belt height adjusters so that the belt rests

across the middle of your shoulder. Failure to adjust the safety

belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt and

increase the risk of injury in a collision.
