OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Some of the most important safety features in your
vehicle are the restraint systems:
• Three-point lap and shoulder belts for the driver and
all passengers
• Front seat belts may incorporate pretensioners that
may enhance occupant protection by managing occu-
pant energy during an impact event
• Advanced Front Airbags for driver and front passen-
ger
• Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC)
— if equipped
• An energy-absorbing steering column and steering
wheel
• Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants
• All seat belt systems (except driver’s and second row
center position) include Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALRs), which lock the seat belt webbing into position
by extending the belt all the way out and then adjust-
ing the belt to the desired length to restrain a child seat
or secure a large item in a seat — if equipped
If you will be carrying children too small for adult-sized
seat belts, the seat belts or the Lower Anchors and Tether
for CHildren (LATCH) feature also can be used to hold
infant and child restraint systems. For more information
on LATCH, refer to Lower Anchors and Tether for
