Proper use of seat belts

Follow these guidelines for proper use:

•

All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that position 
for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduce the effectiveness of the 
belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

•

Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or 
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.

•

Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very 
seriously injured in a crash.

•

Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improve comfort 
or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective capability 
and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

The seat belt system includes an indicator on 
the instrument panel to remind the driver or a 
front passenger or both to fasten their seat 
belts.
If you set the power mode to ON and a seat 
belt is not fastened, a beeper will sound and 
the indicator will blink. After a few seconds, 
the beeper will stop and the indicator will 
come on and remain illuminated until the seat 
belt is fastened.

The beeper will periodically sound and the 
indicator will blink while the vehicle is moving 
until the seat belt is fastened.

About Your Seat Belts

If a rear seat passenger moves around and extends 
the seat belt, the lockable retractor may activate. If 
this happens, release the retractor by unfastening the 
seat belt and allow the belt to retract completely. 
Then, refasten the belt.

Seat Belt Reminder

The indicator will also come on if a front passenger 
does not fasten their seat belt within six seconds after 
the power mode is set to ON.
When no one is sitting in the front passenger’s seat, 
the indicator will not come on and the beeper will not 
sound. The indicator also may not come on and the 
beeper may not sound when the occupant is not 
heavy enough to trigger the weight sensor. Such 
occupants (e.g., infants and smaller children) should 
be moved to the rear seat as a deploying front airbag 
likely will injure or kill them.
