Each lap/shoulder belt has an emer-
gency locking retractor. In normal
driving, the retractor lets you move
freely in your seat while it keeps
some tension on the belt. During a
collision or sudden stop, the retractor
automatically locks the belt to help
restrain your body.

properly.
Not wearing a seat belt
properly increases the chance of
serious injury or death in a crash.
Be sure you and your passenger
always wear seat belts and wear
them properly.
The lap/shoulder belt retractor in the
passenger seating position has an
additional locking mechanism that is
intended to secure a child seat (see
page 20). If the shoulder part of the
belt is pulled all the way out, this
mechanism will engage. The belt will
retract, but it will not allow the
passenger to move freely. If the belt
feels too tight, unlatch it, let it retract
fully, then pull it out as far as needed.
