Additional Information About Your Seat Belts
Lap/Shoulder Belt
The lap/shoulder belt goes over
your shoulder, across your chest and
across your hips.
See page 18 for instructions on how
to wear the lap/shoulder belt
properly.
SHOULDER
PORTION
UPPER SEAT
BELT ANCHOR
To fasten the belt, insert the latch
plate into the buckle, then tug on the
belt to make sure the buckle is
latched.
The lap/shoulder belts in all rear
outboard seating positions have an
additional locking mechanism that
must be activated to secure a child
restraint. (See pages 41and 48 for
instructions on how to secure child
restraints with this type of seat belt.)
LATCH
PLATE
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
vehicle, be sure the belt is out of the
way and will not get closed in the
door.
If the shoulder part of the belt is
pulled all the way out, the lockable
retractor will be activated. The belt
will retract, but it will not allow the
passenger to move freely.
BUCKLE
LAP PORTION
Your vehicle has two types of lap/
shoulder belts. The centre seating
position of the rear seat has the lap/
shoulder belt with a detachable
anchor. All other seating positions
have a one-piece lap/shoulder belt.
All lap/shoulder belts have an
emergency lockable 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 deactivate the lockable retractor,
unlatch the buckle and let the seat
belt fully retract. To refasten the belt,
pull it out only as far as needed.
For some types
The centre seating position of the
rear seat has the lap belt.
