REAR INFLATABLE SAFETY BELT (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the rear
inflatable safety belt as you could be seriously injured or killed.

Note: The rear inflatable safety belts are compatible with most infant
and child safety car seats and belt positioning booster seats when
properly installed. This is because they are designed to fill with a cool
gas at a lower pressure and at a slower rate than traditional airbags.
After inflation, the shoulder portion of the safety belt remains cool to the
touch.
