Safety belt restraint system
WARNING - Safety  belts
To  minimize the  risk of  serious  or
fatal injury in  an accident, the driv-
er  and  all passengers  should  use
the appropriate safety restraints for
their age and size.  The presence of
air bags does  not change the  need
to be properly restrained  by a safe-
ty   belt  or   size-appropriate   child
We  strongly recommend  that the  driver
and     all    passengers     be     properly
WARNING - Child  restraint
in front seat
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.
restrained at all times by using the safety
belts  provided  with  the  vehicle. Proper
use of the safety belts decreases the risk
of severe  injury or death  in accidents or
sudden  stops.  In   most  states,  and  in
Canada, the law requires their use.
All seats have lap/shoulder  belts. Inertial
locks in the safety belt retractors allow all
of the lap/shoulder safety belts to remain
unlocked  during  normal  vehicle  opera-
tion.  This  allows  the   occupants  some
freedom   of  movement   and  increased
comfort while  using the safety  belts. If a
force is applied to  the vehicle, such as a
strong stop,  a sharp  turn, or  a collision,
the safety belt retractors will automatical-
ly lock the safety belts.
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-
restraint.
In   fact,  air   bags   are
designed  to  work   the  best  when
passengers are correctly restrained

that they remain fixed and locked when a
