Seating and Safety Restraints
Vehicle sensitive mode
This is the normal retractor mode, which allows free shoulder belt length
adjustment to your movements and locking in response to vehicle
movement. For example, if the driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner
sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of approximately 5 mph (8
km/h) or more, the combination safety belts will lock to help reduce
forward movement of the driver and passengers.
Automatic locking mode
In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt will
still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The automatic
locking mode is not available on the driver safety belt.
This mode should be used any time a child safety seat (except a
booster) is installed in the vehicle. Children 12 years old and under
should be properly restrained in the rear seat whenever possible. Refer
to Safety restr ain ts for childr en or Safety sea ts for childr en later in
this chapter.
How to use the automatic locking mode
•
•
•
Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt.
Grasp the shoulder portion and
pull downward until the entire
belt is pulled out.
Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safety belt is now in the automatic locking
mode.
