To deactivate the lockable retractor,
unlatch the buckle and let the seat
belt fully retract. To refasten the
seat belt, pull it out only as far as
needed.

For added protection, the front seat
belts are equipped with automatic
seat belt tensioners. When activated,
the tensioners immediately tighten
the belts to help hold the driver and
a front passenger in position.

The tensioners can also be activated

airbags would not be needed, but the
additional restraint could be helpful.

they are unbuckled.

The tensioners are designed to
activate in any collision severe
enough to cause the front airbags to
deploy.

If a side curtain airbag deploys
during a side impact, the tensioner
on that side of the vehicle will also
deploy.
