Vehicle sensitive mode

This is the normal retractor mode, which allows free shoulder belt length

adjustment to your movements and locking in response to vehicle

movement. For example, if the driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner

sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of approximately 8 km/h

(5 mph) or more, the combination safety belts will lock to help reduce

forward movement of the driver and passengers.

Automatic locking mode

The automatic locking mode is not available on the driver safety belt.

When to use the automatic locking mode

In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt will

still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The automatic

locking mode is not available on the driver safety belt.

This mode should be used any time a child safety seat is installed in a

passenger front or outboard rear seating position (if equipped). Children

12 years old and under should be properly restrained in the rear seat

whenever possible. Refer to Safety restraints for children or Safety

seats for children later in this chapter.

How to use the automatic locking mode

• Buckle the combination lap and

shoulder belt.
