6. Buckle, position and release the safety belt as
described in Rear Seat Passengers on page 1-22.
Make sure that the shoulder belt crosses the
shoulder.
To remove and store the comfort guides, squeeze the
belt edges together so that you can take them out of
the guides. Fold down the rear seatbacks. Store the
guides on their storage clips. Lift the rear seatbacks to
their original seating positions.
Safety Belt Pretensioners
Your vehicle has safety belt pretensioners. You’ll find
them on the retractor portion of the safety belts for
the driver and right front passenger. They help the
safety belts reduce a person’s forward movement in a
moderate to severe crash in which the front of the
vehicle hits something.
Pretensioners work only once. If they activate in a
crash, you’ll need to get new pretensioners and may
need other new parts for your safety belt system.
See Replacing Restraint System Parts After a Crash
on page 1-59 for more information.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you,
you should use it.
But if a safety belt is not long enough to fasten, your
retailer will order you an extender. When you go
in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so
the extender will be long enough for you. The extender
will be just for you, and just for the seat in your
vehicle that you choose. Do not let someone else use it,
and use it only for the seat it is made to fit. To wear
it, just attach it to the regular safety belt.
