Knowing your vehicle
Safety belts provide the best restraint
when:
• The seatback is upright.
WARNING - Child restraint
in front seat
WARNING - After a colli-
sion
Never install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger position,
as an inflating air bag could cause
serious or fatal injury to a child in
that position.
• The occupant is sitting upright (not
slouched).
• Lap/shoulder
belt
assemblies
may be stretched or damaged
when subjected to the stress and
forces of a collision.
•
•
The lap belt is snug across the hips.
The shoulder belt is snug across the
chest.
• The
entire
restraint
system
should be inspected following
any collision. All belts, retractors,
anchors and hardware damaged
by a collision should be replaced
before the vehicle is operated
again.
•
The knees are straight forward.
To help you remember to fasten your
safety belt, a warning light will blink. See
“Safety belt warning light and chime” on
page 3-30.
The rear safety belts use a special auto-
lock feature designed to allow a child
restraint to be used in these positions
without an added locking clip. They nor-
mally lock only under extreme or emer-
gency
conditions
(emergency
lock
mode). However they can be adjusted so
that they remain fixed and locked when a
child restraint system is placed in these
positions. (Use this auto-lock mode only
to secure a child restraint, never for pas-
sengers restrained by the safety belts.)
Page 3-41 gives instructions on placing
the safety belt in the auto lock mode.
WARNING - Cargo area
Passengers
should
never
be
allowed to ride in the cargo area of
a vehicle. No safety belts are pro-
vided for the cargo area. Persons
riding in the vehicle without a fas-
tened safety belt are much more
likely to suffer serious bodily injury
or death during an accident.
The drivers safety belt can only operate
in the emergency lock mode.
