WARNING: Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle
that has been closed up in sunny weather; they could burn a

small child. Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child
anywhere near them.

WARNING: Front and rear seat occupants, including pregnant
women, should wear safety belts for optimum protection in an

accident.

All seating positions in this vehicle have lap and shoulder safety belts. All
occupants of the vehicle should always properly wear their safety belts,
even when an airbag supplemental restraint system is provided.

The safety belt system consists of:
• lap and shoulder safety belts.
• shoulder safety belt with automatic locking mode, (except driver

safety belt).

• height adjuster at the front outboard seating positions
• safety belt pretensioner at the front outboard seating positions.
• belt tension sensor at the front outboard passenger seating position.

• Safety belt warning light and chime. See Safety belt warning

light and indicator chime later in this chapter.

• Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness

indicator. See Crash sensors and airbag indicator in the
Supplemental Restraints System chapter.

The safety belt pretensioners at the front seating positions are designed
to tighten the safety belts when activated. In frontal and near-frontal
crashes, the safety belt pretensioners may be activated alone or, if the
crash is of sufficient severity, together with the front airbags. The
pretensioners may also activate when a side curtain airbag is deployed.
