activation are met. Safety belt
pretensioners can also help tighten
the safety belts in a side crash or a
rollover event.
Pretensioners work only once. If the
pretensioners activate in a crash,
the pretensioners and probably
other parts of the vehicle's safety
belt system will need to be replaced.

Rear Safety Belt Comfort
Guides
Warning
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.
Rear safety belt comfort guides may
provide added safety belt comfort
for older children who have
outgrown booster seats and for
some adults. When installed on a
shoulder belt, the comfort guide
positions the shoulder belt away
from the neck and head.
Second Row Outboard Seating
Positions
The comfort guides for the rear
outboard seating positions in the
second row are stored on a clip on
the interior trim next to the outboard
seatback.
To install:
1. Remove the guide from its
storage clip on the interior trim
next to the outboard seatback.
2. Place the guide over the belt,
and insert the two edges of the
belt into the slots of the guide.
