or other injuries.

The lap belt cannot do its job either In a crash, the belt could go up over your abdomen The belt forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones This could cause serious internal injuries.

For proper protection when the vehicle is

in motion, have the seatback upright.

Then sit well back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly.

Do not have a seatback reclined if your vehicle ismoving

Safety Belts

Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone

This part of the manual tells you how to use

safety belts properly It also tells you some things

you should not do with safety belts

{ CAUTION:

Do not let anyone ride where he or she

cannot wear a safety belt properly If you

are in a crash and you are not wearing a

safety belt, your injuries can be much

worse You can hit things inside the

vehicle or be ejected from it You can be

seriously injured or killed In the same

crash, you might not be, if you are

buckled up Always fasten your safety

belt, and check that your passengers’

belts are fastened properly too.

Your vehicle has indicators to remind you and your

passengers to buckle your safety belts See Safety Belt Reminder Light on page 162 and Passenger Safety Belt Reminder Light on page 163.

In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the

law says to wear safety belts Here is why:

They work.

You never know if you will be in a crash If you do

have a crash, you do not know if it will be a

bad one

A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be

so serious that even buckled up, a person

would not survive But most crashes are in

between In many of them, people who buckle up

can survive and sometimes walk away Without

belts they could have been badly hurt or killed

After more than 40 years of safety belts in

vehicles, the facts are clear In most crashes

buckling up does matter a lot!

Why Safety Belts Work

When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast

as it goes

Take the simplest vehicle Suppose it is just aseat on wheels

Put someone on it Get it up to speed Then stop the vehicle.

The rider does not stop

The person keeps going until stopped by

something In a real vehicle, it could be the

windshield

or the instrument panel

or the safety belts!

With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle

does You get more time to stop You stop

over more distance, and your strongest bones

take the forces That is why safety belts

make such good sense

Questions and Answers About Safety Belts

Q:Will I be trapped in the vehicle after an accident if I am wearing a safety belt?A:You could be — whether you are wearing a

safety belt or not But you can unbuckle asafety belt, even if you are upside down Andyour chance of being conscious during and

after an accident, so you can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted.

Q:If my vehicle has airbags, why should I have to wear safety belts?

A:Airbags are supplemental systems only; so

they work with safety belts — not instead of

them Every airbag system ever offeredfor sale has required the use of safety belts.Even if you are in a vehicle that has airbags,you still have to buckle up to get the mostprotection That is true not only in frontalcollisions, but especially in side and other

Q: If I am a good driver, and I never drive far

from home, why should I wear safety belts?

A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you are

in an accident — even one that is not your

fault — you and your passengers can be hurt

Being a good driver does not protect you

from things beyond your control, such as bad

drivers

Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 km)

of home And the greatest number of

serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds

of less than 40 mph (65 km/h)

Safety belts are for everyone

5 Move the shoulder belt height adjuster tothe height that is right for you Impropershoulder belt height adjustment could reducethe effectiveness of the safety belt in a

crash See Shoulder Belt Height Adjustment

on page 31.

6 To make the lap part tight, pull up on the

shoulder belt

It may be necessary to pull stitching on the

safety belt through the latch plate to fully

tighten the lap belt on smaller occupants

The lap part of the belt should be worn low andsnug on the hips, just touching the thighs In acrash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones.And you would be less likely to slide under the lapbelt If you slid under it, the belt would apply force atyour abdomen This could cause serious or evenfatal injuries The shoulder belt should go over theshoulder and across the chest These parts of thebody are best able to take belt restraining forces.The safety belt locks if there is a sudden stop

or crash

Q: What is wrong with this?

A:The shoulder belt is too loose It will not give

nearly as much protection this way

{ CAUTION:

You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury The shoulder belt should fit against your body.

Q: What is wrong with this?

A: The lap belt is too loose It will not give nearly

as much protection this way

You can be seriously hurt if your lap belt

is too loose In a crash, you could slide under the lap belt and apply force at your abdomen This could cause serious or even fatal injuries The lap belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs.

Q: What is wrong with this?

A:The belt is buckled in the wrong place

{ CAUTION:

You can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen The belt forces would be there, not at the pelvic bones This could cause serious internal injuries Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you.

Q: What is wrong with this?

A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm It

should be worn over the shoulder at all times

{ CAUTION:

You can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance

of head and neck injury Also, the belt would apply too much force to the ribs, which are not as strong as shoulder bones You could also severely injure internal organs like your liver or spleen.

Q: What is wrong with this?

A:The belt is twisted across the body

{ CAUTION:

You can be seriously injured by a twisted belt In a crash, you would not have the full width of the belt to spread impact forces If

a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly, or ask your dealer to fix it.

To unlatch the belt, push the button on the buckle.

The belt should go back out of the way

Before you close the door, be sure the belt is out

of the way If you slam the door on it, you can

damage both the belt and your vehicle

Shoulder Belt Height Adjustment

Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder beltheight adjuster to the height that is right for you.Adjust the height so that the shoulder portion ofthe belt is centered on your shoulder Thebelt should be away from your face and neck, butnot falling off your shoulder Improper shoulderbelt height adjustment could reduce theeffectiveness of the safety belt in a crash

To move it down, pressthe release button (A)and move the heightadjuster to the desiredposition You canmove the heightadjuster up just bypushing up onthe shoulder belt guide

After you move the height adjuster to where youwant it, try to move it down without pressingthe release button to make sure it has lockedinto position

Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy

Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant

women Like all occupants, they are more likely

to be seriously injured if they do not wear

safety belts

A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder

belt, and the lap portion should be worn as low as

possible, below the rounding, throughout the

pregnancy

The best way to protect the fetus is to protect themother When a safety belt is worn properly, it

is more likely that the fetus will not be hurt

in a crash For pregnant women, as for anyone,the key to making safety belts effective is wearingthem properly

Right Front Passenger Position

To learn how to wear the right front passenger’s

safety belt properly, see Driver Position on page 24.

The right front passenger’s safety belt works thesame way as the driver’s safety belt — exceptfor one thing If you ever pull the shoulder portion

of the belt out all the way, you will engage thechild restraint locking feature which may turn offthe passenger’s frontal airbag If this happens, justlet the belt go back all the way and start again

Rear Seat Passengers

It is very important for rear seat passengers to

buckle up! Accident statistics show that unbelted

people in the rear seat are hurt more often in

crashes than those who are wearing safety belts

Rear passengers who are not safety belted

can be thrown out of the vehicle in a crash And

they can strike others in the vehicle who are

wearing safety belts

Lap-Shoulder Belt

All rear seat positions have lap-shoulder belts

Here is how to wear one properly

positioned so you would be able to unbuckle

the safety belt quickly if you ever had to

3 To make the lap part tight, pull up on theshoulder part

The lap part of the belt should be worn low and

snug on the hips, just touching the thighs In

a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic

bones And you would be less likely to slide under

the lap belt If you slid under it, the belt would

apply force at your abdomen This could cause

serious or even fatal injuries

The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder andacross the chest These parts of the body arebest able to take belt restraining forces

The safety belt locks if there is a sudden stop or

a crash

{ CAUTION:

You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury The shoulder belt should fit against your body.

To unlatch the belt, push the button on the buckle.

Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides

Rear shoulder belt comfort guides may provideadded safety belt comfort for older children whohave outgrown booster seats and for some adults.When installed on a shoulder belt, the comfort guidepositions the belt away from the neck and head.There is one guide for each outboard passengerposition in the rear seat Here is how to install

a comfort guide to the safety belt:

1 Pull the elastic cord out from between the

2 Slide the guide under and past the belt The

elastic cord must be under the belt Then,

place the guide over the belt and insert

the two edges of the belt into the slots of

the guide

3 Be sure that the belt is not twisted and it liesflat The elastic cord must be under the beltand the guide on top

{ CAUTION:

A safety belt that is not properly worn may

not provide the protection needed in a

crash The person wearing the belt could

be seriously injured The shoulder belt

should go over the shoulder and across

the chest These parts of the body are

best able to take belt restraining forces.

4 Buckle, position, and release the safety belt

as described in Rear Seat Passengers on page 33 Make sure that the shoulder

belt crosses the shoulder

To remove and store the comfort guide, squeezethe belt edges together so that you can takethem out of the guide Pull the guide upward toexpose its storage clip, and then slide theguide onto the clip Turn the guide and clip inwardand slide them in between the seatback andthe interior body, leaving only the loop of

Safety Belt Pretensioners

Your vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for the

driver and right front passenger Although you

cannot see them, they are part of the safety belt

assembly They help tighten the safety belts during

the early stages of a moderate to severe frontal

and near frontal crash if the threshold conditions

for pretensioner activation are met And, if

your vehicle has side impact airbags, safety belt

pretensioners can help tighten the safety belts in

a side crash

Pretensioners work only once If they activate

in a crash, you will need to get new ones,

and probably other new parts for your safety belt

system See Replacing Restraint System Parts

After a Crash on page 83.

Safety Belt Extender

If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you,you should use it

But if a safety belt is not long enough, your dealerwill order you an extender When you go in toorder it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, sothe extender will be long enough for you Tohelp avoid personal injury, do not let someone elseuse it, and use it only for the seat it is made tofit The extender has been designed for adults.Never use it for securing child seats To wear it,just attach it to the regular safety belt Formore information see the instruction sheet thatcomes with the extender

Child Restraints

Older Children

Older children who have outgrown booster seats

should wear the vehicle’s safety belts

Q:What is the proper way to wear safety belts?A:An older child should wear a lap-shoulder beltand get the additional restraint a shoulder beltcan provide The shoulder belt should notcross the face or neck The lap belt should fitsnugly below the hips, just touching thetop of the thighs It should never be worn overthe abdomen, which could cause severe oreven fatal internal injuries in a crash

According to accident statistics, children are saferwhen properly restrained in the rear seatingpositions than in the front seating positions

In a crash, children who are not buckled up canstrike other people who are buckled up, or can bethrown out of the vehicle Older children need

to use safety belts properly
