Seatbelts

How to Disengage the Automatic Locking Mode Unbuckle the combination lap and shoulder belt and allow it to retract completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and turn on the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode. How to Extract Seatbelts in the Rear Outboard Positions Seatbelts in the rear outboard positions can lock if the seatback is returned firmly to its upright position. You can unlock the seatbelts using the following procedures. For vehicles where the rear seats recline: 1. Recline the seat to its full rear recline position. 2. The seatbelt should then unlock. 3. Return the seatback to its desired upright position. For vehicles with rear seats that do not recline or are locked with the seat in its full rear recline position:

1. Grasp the seatbelt webbing at the top of the seatback. 2. Pull the seatbelt webbing forward, firmly. 3. After pulling the seatbelt forward, allow the seatbelt to feed back into the seatbelt retractor as much as possible. If necessary, press the seatback down to allow the seatbelt webbing to retract further. 4. The seatbelt should then unlock. 5. If the seatbelt does not unlock, repeat steps 1-3. WARNING Position the seatbelt height adjuster so that the belt rests across the middle of your shoulder. Failure to adjust the seatbelt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the seatbelt and increase the risk of injury in a crash. SEATBELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

E146191 To adjust the shoulder belt height, squeeze the button and slide the height adjuster up or down. Release the button and pull down on the height adjuster to make sure it is locked in place. SEATBELT WARNING LAMP AND INDICATOR CHIME This lamp illuminates and an audible warning will sound if the driver seatbelt has not been fastened when the vehicle's ignition is turned on. E71880
