2. To unfasten, push the release

The front outboard safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap
and shoulder belts. The front passenger outboard safety belt has two
types of locking modes described below:

Energy Management Feature

This vehicle has a seat belt system with an energy management
feature at the front outboard seating positions to help further reduce
the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision.

This seat belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to pay

out webbing in a controlled manner. This feature is designed to help

reduce the belt force acting on the occupant’s chest.

Vehicle sensitive mode

The vehicle sensitive mode is the normal retractor mode, allowing free

shoulder belt length adjustment to your movements and locking in

response to vehicle movement. For example, if the driver brakes

suddenly or turns a corner sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of

approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more, the combination safety belts will

lock to help reduce forward movement of the driver and passengers.

Automatic locking mode

In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt will

still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt.
The automatic locking mode is not available on the driver safety belt.

When to use the automatic locking mode

Any time

a child safety seat is installed in a passenger front seat.
