This seat belt has a single belt that
goes over your shoulder, across your
chest and across your hips.

Your seat belt system includes lap/
shoulder belts in both seating
positions.
The seat belts are also equipped with
automatic seat belt tensioners.

The system also includes a
light on the instrument

panel to remind you and your
passenger to fasten your belts. If the
driver’s seat belt is not fastened
before the ignition is turned ON (II),
the light will come on and a beeper
will also sound. The beeper will stop
after a few seconds, but the light will
stay on until the driver’s seat belt is
fastened.

The passenger’s seat belt has an
additional locking mechanism that
must be activated to secure a child
seat. (See page

for instructions on

how to secure a forward-facing child
seat with this type of belt.)

Both seat belts have an emergency
locking retractor. In normal driving,
the retractor lets you move freely in
your seat while it keeps some
tension on the belt.
During a collision or sudden stop,
the retractor automatically locks the
belt to help restrain your body.

To unlock the belt, push the red
PRESS button on the buckle. Guide
the belt across your body to the door
pillar. After exiting the car, be sure
the belt is out of the way and will not
get closed in the door.

To fasten the belt, insert the latch
plate into the buckle, then tug on the
belt to make sure the buckle is
latched.
