2-10 Seats and Restraints Safety Belts This section of the manual describes how to use safety belts properly . It also describes some things not to do with safety belts.
Seats and Restraints 2-1 1 Why Safety Belts Work When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. T ake the simplest vehicle. Suppose it is just a seat on wheels. Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider does not stop.
2-12 Seats and Restraints or the instrument panel... or the safety belts! With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. Y ou get more time to stop. Y ou stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces. That is why safety belts make such good sense.
Seats and Restraints 2-13 How to Wear Safety Belts Properly This section is only for people of adult size. Be aware that there are special things to know about safety belts and children.
2-14 Seats and Restraints Q: What is wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It will not give as much protection this way . { W ARNING Y ou can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury .
Seats and Restraints 2-15 { W ARNING Y ou can be seriously hurt if your lap belt is too loose. In a crash, you could slide under the lap belt and apply force on your abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The lap belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs.
2-16 Seats and Restraints Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is over an armrest. { W ARNING Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt goes over an armrest like this.
Seats and Restraints 2-17 { W ARNING Y ou can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury . Also, the belt would apply too much force to the ribs, which are not as strong as shoulder bones.
2-18 Seats and Restraints Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is twisted across the body . { W ARNING Y ou can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you would not have the full width of the belt to spread impact forces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly , or ask your dealer/retailer to fix it.
Seats and Restraints 2-19 3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If the belt is not long enough, see Safety Belt Extender on page 2 ‑ 22 . Position the release button on the buckle so that the safety belt could be quickly unbuckled if necessary .
2-20 Seats and Restraints Press the release button (A) and move the height adjuster to the desired position. The adjuster can be moved up by pushing the slide/ trim up. After the adjuster is set to the desired position, try to move it down without pushing the release button to make sure it has locked into position.
Seats and Restraints 2-21 2. Place the guide over the belt, and insert the two edges of the belt into the slots of the guide. 3. Be sure that the belt is not twisted and it lies flat. The elastic cord must be under the belt and the guide on top. { W ARNING A safety belt that is not properly worn may not provide the protection needed in a crash.
2-22 Seats and Restraints Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they do not wear safety belts.
Seats and Restraints 2-23 Safety Belt Care Keep belts clean and dry . { W ARNING Do not bleach or dye safety belts. It may severely weaken them. In a crash, they might not be able to provide adequate protection. Clean safety belts only with mild soap and lukewarm water .
2-24 Seats and Restraints The vehicle may have the following airbags: . A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the rear seat passenger seated directly behind the driver . . A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the rear seat passenger seated directly behind the right front passenger .
Seats and Restraints 2-25 { W ARNING Airbags inflate with great force, faster than the blink of an eye. Anyone who is up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Do not sit unnecessarily close to the airbag, as you would be if you were sitting on the edge of your seat or leaning forward.
2-26 Seats and Restraints Where Are the Airbags? The driver frontal airbag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The right front passenger frontal airbag is in the instrument panel on the passenger's side.
Seats and Restraints 2-27 W ARNING (Continued) or even death. The path of an inflating airbag must be kept clear . Do not put anything between an occupant and an airbag, and do not attach or put anything on the steering wheel hub or on or near any other airbag covering.
2-28 Seats and Restraints Frontal airbags are not intended to inflate during vehicle rollovers, rear impacts, or in many side impacts. In addition, the vehicle has dual-stage frontal airbags. Dual-stage airbags adjust the restraint according to crash severity .
Seats and Restraints 2-29 How Does an Airbag Restrain? In moderate to severe frontal or near frontal collisions, even belted occupants can contact the steering wheel or the instrument panel. In moderate to severe side collisions, even belted occupants can contact the inside of the vehicle.
2-30 Seats and Restraints Y ou can lock the doors, turn off the interior lamps and hazard warning flashers by using the controls for those features. { W ARNING A crash severe enough to inflate the airbags may have also damaged important functions in the vehicle, such as the fuel system, brake and steering systems, etc.
Seats and Restraints 2-31 Passenger Sensing System The vehicle has a passenger sensing system for the right front passenger position. The passenger airbag status indicator will be visible on the instrument panel when the vehicle is started. The words ON and OFF will be visible during the system check.
2-32 Seats and Restraints A label on the sun visor says, “ Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front. ” This is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys. { W ARNING A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger airbag inflates.
Seats and Restraints 2-33 When the passenger sensing system has turned off the right front passenger frontal airbag, the off indicator will light and stay lit to remind you that the airbags are off. See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 4 ‑ 16 .
2-34 Seats and Restraints 5. If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, turn the vehicle off. Then slightly recline the vehicle seatback and adjust the seat cushion, if adjustable, to make sure that the vehicle seatback is not pushing the child restraint into the seat cushion.
Seats and Restraints 2-35 Additional Factors Affecting System Operation Safety belts help keep the passenger in position on the seat during vehicle maneuvers and braking, which helps the passenger sensing system maintain the passenger airbag status.
2-36 Seats and Restraints Adding Equipment to the Airbag-Equipped V ehicle Q: Is there anything I might add to or change about the vehicle that could keep the airbags from working properly? A: Y es.
Seats and Restraints 2-37 Airbag System Check The airbag system does not need regularly scheduled maintenance or replacement. Make sure the airbag readiness light is working. See Airbag Readiness Light on page 4 ‑ 16 for more information. Notice: If an airbag covering is damaged, opened, or broken, the airbag may not work properly .
2-38 Seats and Restraints Child Restraints Older Children Older children who have outgrown booster seats should wear the vehicle's safety belts. The manufacturer's instructions that come with the booster seat, state the weight and height limitations for that booster .
Seats and Restraints 2-39 In a crash, children who are not buckled up can strike other people who are buckled up, or can be thrown out of the vehicle. Older children need to use safety belts properly . { W ARNING Never do this. Never allow two children to wear the same safety belt.
2-40 Seats and Restraints Infants and Y oung Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes infants and all other children. Neither the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints.
Seats and Restraints 2-41 { W ARNING Never do this. Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat. Secure a rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat.
2-42 Seats and Restraints Q: What are the different types of add-on child restraints? A: Add-on child restraints, which are purchased by the vehicle's owner , are available in four basic types.
Seats and Restraints 2-43 Child Restraint Systems (A) Rear ‐ Facing Infant Seat A rear-facing infant seat (A) provides restraint with the seating surface against the back of the infant. The harness system holds the infant in place and, in a crash, acts to keep the infant positioned in the restraint.
2-44 Seats and Restraints Securing an Add-On Child Restraint in the V ehicle { W ARNING A child can be seriously injured or killed in a crash if the child restraint is not properly secured in the vehicle.
Seats and Restraints 2-45 child seat; an older child riding in a booster seat; and children, who are large enough, using safety belts. A label on your sun visor says, “ Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front. ” This is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys.
2-46 Seats and Restraints Wherever you install a child restraint, be sure to secure the child restraint properly . Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child restraint in your vehicle — even when no child is in it.

There are two lower anchors for each LA TCH seating position that will accommodate a child restraint with lower attachments (B). T op T ether Anchor A top tether (A, C) anchors the top of the child restraint to the vehicle.
2-48 Seats and Restraints Lower Anchor and T op T ether Anchor Locations Rear Seat i (T op T ether Anchor): Seating positions with top tether anchors. j (Lower Anchor): Seating positions with two lower anchors.
Seats and Restraints 2-49 Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat. See Where to Put the Restraint on page 2 ‑ 44 for additional information.
2-50 Seats and Restraints Y ou cannot secure three child restraints using the LA TCH anchors in the rear seat at the same time, but you can install two of them. If you want to do this, install one LA TCH child restraint in the passenger-side position, and install the other one either in the driver-side position or in the center position.
Seats and Restraints 2-51 2. If the child restraint manufacturer recommends that the top tether be attached, attach and tighten the top tether to the top tether anchor , if equipped. Refer to the child restraint instructions and the following steps: 2.
