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

• Advanced Front Airbags for driver and front passen-

ger — if equipped

• An energy-absorbing steering column and steering

wheel

• Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants
• All seat belt systems (except driver’s, first and second

row center position) include Automatic Locking Re-
tractors (ALR)

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 further informa-
tion, refer to “Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren
(LATCH)”.

NOTE:

The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage

inflator design. This allows the airbag to have different
rates of inflation based on the severity and type of
collision.

Please pay close attention to the information in this
section. It tells you how to use your restraint system
properly, to keep you and your passengers as safe as
possible.
