The retractor for the third row center
seatbelt is in the roof.
To fasten the seatbelt:
1. Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if
you pull it sharply or if the vehicle is on
a slope.
2. Insert the smaller tongue into the
smaller buckle to the left of the center
seat.
3. Pull the larger tongue across the lap
and insert it into the buckle to the right
of the center seat.
Note: If in constant use, you can leave the
belt buckled in the smaller buckle. When it
is not in use, or when you fold or move the
rear seats, you should release the belt from
the smaller buckle. Using the tongue of the
adjacent seatbelt, press the red button on
the smaller buckle.

Seatbelts
HOW DOES SENSITIVE LOCKING
MODE WORK
If the driver suddenly brakes, turns a corner
sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact
of about 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the
seatbelts lock to help reduce forward
movement of the driver and passengers.
In addition, the seatbelt retractor locks if
you pull the seatbelt webbing out too
quickly. If the retractor locks, slowly lower
the height adjuster to allow the seatbelt
to retract.
If the retractor does not unlock, pull the
seatbelt out slowly then feed a small
length of webbing back toward the stowed
position.
For rear seatbelts, recline the rear seat
backrest or push the seat backrest cushion
away from the seatbelt. Feed a small
length of webbing back toward the stowed
position.

AUTOMATIC LOCKING MODE

WHAT IS AUTOMATIC LOCKING
MODE
This feature keeps the seatbelts
pre-locked. The belt still retracts to remove
any slack in the shoulder belt.
WHEN TO USE AUTOMATIC
LOCKING MODE
Use this mode any time you install a child
restraint in the front passenger seating
position or any rear seating position.
Properly restrain children 12 years old and
under in a rear seat whenever possible.
Note: Automatic locking mode is not
available on the driver seatbelt.
