1-4. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)
Pre-collision seat belts (front seats of vehicles with a pre-collision system)
If the pre-collision sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the pre-
collision system will retract the seat belt, thus enhancing the effectiveness
of the seat belt pretensioner in a crash.
The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking or loses con-
trol of the vehicle. (P. 343)
Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
■
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also lock if
you lean forward too quickly. To allow the belt to extend, retract the belt and then
pull it slowly.
Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
■
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then retracted even
slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This feature is
used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, fully
retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more. (P. 179)
Child seat belt usage
■
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult size.
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child becomes
●
large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt. (P. 175)
When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt,
●
follow the instructions on P. 111 regarding seat belt usage.
Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
■
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for the
first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.
