Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage
In the driver and front passenger seats, the shoulder belt
can be adjusted upward or downward to position the belt
away from your neck. Push and fully depress the button
above the webbing to release the anchorage, and then
move it up or down to the position that serves you best.

As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will

you’ll prefer a higher position. When you release the
anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that
it is locked in position.

In the rear seat, move toward the center of the seat to
position the belt away from your neck.

occupants, including those in child restraints.

NOTE:

These devices are not a substitute for proper

seat belt placement by the occupant. The seat belt still
must be worn snugly and positioned properly.

The pretensioners are triggered by the Occupant Re-
straint Controller (ORC) (refer to information on Airbags
in this section). Like the front airbags, the pretensioners
