OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Some of the most important safety features in your
vehicle are the restraint systems. The following safety
features are standard on all vehicles:
• Three point lap and shoulder belts for all seating
positions
• Pretensioning and load-limiting retractors for the front
seat belts
• Advanced multistage driver and new active-vent front
passenger airbags
• New active-vent front passenger airbags.
• Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants
• An energy absorbing steering column and steering
wheel
• Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC)
that span the front and second rows for sedans (if
equipped)
• Supplemental seat side (Thorax) airbags
• Front seat belt retractors incorporate pretensioners to
enhance occupant protection by managing occupant
energy during an impact event.
• All seat belt systems (except the driver’s) include
Automatic Locking Retractors (ALRs), which lock the
seat belt webbing into position by extending the belt
all the way out and then adjusting the belt to the
desired length to restrain a child seat or secure a large
item in a seat.
