THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE: These devices are not a substitu te for prop er seat
belt placem ent by the occupant. The seat belt still must be
worn snu gly and positioned prop erly.
Seat Belt Extender
If a seat belt is too short, even when fully extend ed and
when the adjustable upper shou lder belt anchorage (if
equ ipped) is in its lowest position, you r dealer can
provid e you with a seat belt extend er. This extend er
shou ld be used only if the existing belt is not long
enou gh. When it is not requ ired , rem ove the extend er
and stow it.

The pretensioners are triggered by the front airbag con-
trol module (see Front Airbag Section). Like the front
airbags, the pretensioners are single use item s. After a
collision that is severe enou gh to deploy the front airbags
and pretensioners, both must be rep laced .
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women
WARN ING!
We recom mend that pregnant women use the seat belts
throu ghou t their pregnancies. Keeping the mother safe is
the best way to keep the baby safe.
Usin g a seat belt exten der when not need ed can
increase the risk of injury in a collision . Only use
when the lap belt is not lon g enough when it is worn
low and snug, and in the recom mended seatin g
position s. Rem ove and store the exten der when not
need ed.
Pregnant women shou ld wear the lap part of the belt
across the thighs and as snu g across the hip s as possible.
Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the
abd omen. That way the strong bones of the hip s will take
the force if there is a collision.
