Lap/Shoulder Belts

All seating positions in your vehicle have combination
lap/shoulder belts. The belt webbing retractor is de-
signed to lock during very sudden stops or collisions.
This feature allows the shoulder part of the belt to move
freely with you under normal conditions. But in a colli-

the inside of the vehicle or being thrown out.

Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.
