WARNING
Lock the doors of your vehicle before
driving to lessen the risk of the door
coming open in a collision.
Combination Lap and Shoulder
Belts
While your vehicle is in motion, the combination
lap and shoulder belt adjusts to your movement.
However, if you brake hard, turn hard, or if
your vehicle receives an impact of 5 mph
(8 km/h) or more, the lap/shoulder belt locks
and helps reduce your forward movement.
After you get into your vehicle, close the door
and lock it. Then adjust the seat to the position
that suits you best.
Pull the combination lap/shoulder belt from the
retractor so that the shoulder portion of the belt
crosses your shoulder and chest. Be sure the belt
is not twisted. If it is, remove the twist. Insert
the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you
hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the
tongue is securely fastened to the buckle by
pulling on tongue.

Fastening the front seat combination lap and shoulder belt
NOTE:
Be sure to read and understand
Important Safety Belt Information
at
the beginning of this chapter.
Unfastening the combination lap and shoulder belts —
front and rear outboard seating positions
While the belt retracts, guide the tongue to its
original position to prevent it from striking you
or the vehicle.
Safety Belts for Front Outboard Passenger
and Rear Outboard Seating Positions
Your vehicle is equipped with a dual locking
mode retractor on the
shoulder
belt portion of
the combination lap/shoulder safety belt for the
front seat outboard passenger and rear outboard
passengers.
112
Dual locking mode retractors operate in two
ways:
Vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode
In this operating mode, the shoulder belt
retractor will allow the occupant freedom of
movement, locking tight only on hard braking,
hard cornering or impacts of approximately
5 mph (8 km/h) or more. The retractor can also
be made to lock by pulling the belt out quickly.
Automatic locking mode
In this operating mode, the shoulder belt
retractor will be automatically locked and will
remain locked when the combination
lap/shoulder safety belt is buckled, and does not
allow the occupant freedom of movement. This
mode provides the following:
❑
A tight lap/shoulder belt on the occupant.
❑
Child safety seat installation.
This mode
must be used
when installing a child
safety seat on the front passenger seat and rear
outboard seats where dual locking retractors are
provided.
To switch the retractor from the emergency
locking mode to the automatic locking mode,
perform the following steps:
1.
Buckle the lap/shoulder combination belt.
2.
Grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and
pull downward until all of the belt is
extracted and, when allowed to retract, a
clicking sound is heard. At this time, the belt
retractor is in the automatic locking mode
(child restraint mode).
113
3.
A clicking sound will continue to be heard
as the belt is allowed to retract. This
indicates that the retractor is in the
automatic locking mode.
NOTE:
When the combination lap/shoulder
belt is unbuckled and allowed to
retract completely, the retractor will
switch to the vehicle sensitive
(emergency) locking mode. See the
detailed instructions under
Safety Seats
for Children
in this chapter.
Two Passenger Bench or Bedseat
(If Equipped)
In addition to anchorages in the floor and roof
structures, some rear safety belts have a
detachable anchor mounted to the outboard side
of the rear seats. This should remain attached,
except when removing the rear seats.
Disengaging rear seat safety belts for seat
removal
In order to remove the rear seat, the safety belt
must be disengaged from the seat. To disengage
the safety belt from the seat, insert a key or
small screwdriver into the slot provided on the
detachable anchor. Then lift upward.
