Positions
Your vehicle is equipped with a dual locking mode
retractor on the shoulder belt portion of the
combination lap/shoulder safety belt for front seat
passenger and rear outboard passengers.
Dual locking mode retractors operate in two
ways:
Vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking
mode
In this operating mode, the shoulder belt retractor
will allow the occupant freedom of movement,
locking tight only on hard braking, hard cornering
or impacts of approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or
more. The retractor can also be made to lock by
pulling the belt out quickly.
