WARNING: Placing a child, 12 years or younger, in the front

seat is dangerous. The child could be hit by a deploying air bag

and be seriously injured or even killed. A sleeping child is more

likely to lean against the door and be hit by the side air bag in a

moderate collision. Whenever possible, always secure a child, 12

years or younger, in the rear seat, with an appropriate child

restraint system for the child’s age and size. Never use a

rear-facing child restraint system in the front seat with an air

bag that could deploy.

Energy Management Feature

This vehicle has a safety belt system with an energy management

feature at the front seating positions to help further reduce the risk of

injury in the event of a head-on collision.

This safety 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.

WARNING: After any vehicle collision, the safety belt system

at all outboard seating positions (except driver, which has no

“automatic locking retractor” feature) must be checked by a

qualified technician to verify that the “automatic locking

retractor” feature for child seats is still functioning properly. In

addition, all safety belts should be checked for proper function.

Additionally, if the front air bags have deployed, the front

pretensioners have also deployed and the front seat restraint

system must be replaced.

WARNING: BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE

REPLACED if the safety belt assembly “automatic locking

retractor” feature or any other safety belt function is not

operating properly when checked according to the procedures in

Workshop Manual.

WARNING: Failure to replace the Belt and Retractor assembly

could increase the risk of injury in collisions.
