Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder belt
height adjuster for the driver and
outboard front passenger seating
positions.
Adjust the height so that the shoulder
portion of the belt is centered on the
shoulder. The belt should be away
from the face and neck, but not
falling off the shoulder. Improper
shoulder belt height adjustment
could reduce the effectiveness of the
safety belt in a crash.
Move the height adjuster up to the
desired position by pushing up on the
height adjuster.
After the height adjuster is set to the
desired position, try to move it up or
down without pressing the release
button (A) to make sure it has locked
into position. Press the release
button to lower the height adjuster.

Safety Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has safety belt
pretensioners for front outboard
occupants. Although the safety belt
pretensioners cannot be seen, they
are part of the safety belt assembly.
They can help tighten the safety belts
during the early stages of a moderate
to severe frontal and near frontal
crash and will deploy in side, rear
and rollover events if the threshold
conditions for pretensioner activation
are met.
Pretensioners work only once. If the
pretensioners activate in a crash,
they will need to be replaced, and
probably other new parts for the
vehicle's safety belt system. See
Replacing Safety Belt System Parts
After a Crash on page 2-27.
