After any vehicle collision, the front passenger and rear outboard
safety belt systems must be checked by an authorized dealer to

verify that the “automatic locking retractor” feature for child seats is
still functioning properly. In addition, all safety belts should be checked
for proper function.

BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED if
the safety belt assembly “automatic locking retractor” feature or

any other safety belt function is not operating properly when checked
by an authorized dealer.

Failure to replace the Belt and Retractor assembly could
increase the risk of injury in collisions.

Safety belt pretensioner

Your vehicle is equipped with safety belt pretensioners at the driver and
front outboard passenger seating positions.

The safety belt pretensioner is a device which removes excess webbing
from the safety belt system. The safety belt pretensioner uses the same
crash sensor system as the front airbag supplemental restraint system
(SRS). When the safety belt pretensioner deploys, webbing from the lap
and shoulder belt is tightened. Refer to the Safety belt maintenance
section in this chapter.

The driver and front passenger safety belt system (including
retractors, buckles and height adjusters) must be replaced if the

vehicle is involved in a collision that results in deployment of front
airbags and safety belt pretensioners.

Safety belt extension assembly

If the safety belt is too short when fully extended, there is a 8 inch
(20 cm) safety belt extension assembly that can be added (part number
611C22). This assembly can be obtained from an authorized dealer.

Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safety
belt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of the webbing on
the label. Also, use the safety belt extension only if the safety belt is too
short for you when fully extended.
