2-18 Seats and Restraints
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
(Sedan)
The vehicle may have a shoulder
belt height adjuster for the driver
and right front passenger seating
positions.
Adjust the height so the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The belt
should be close to, but not
contacting, the neck. Improper
shoulder belt height adjustment
could reduce the effectiveness of
the safety belt in a crash. See How
to Wear Safety Belts Properly on
page 2 15.
Push down on the release button (A)
and move the height adjuster to the
desired position. The adjuster can
be moved up by pushing up on the
shoulder belt guide.
After the height adjuster is set to the
desired position, try to move it down
without pressing the release button
to make sure it has locked into
position.

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 or near frontal crash if the
threshold conditions for pretensioner
activation are met. And, if the
vehicle has side impact airbags,
safety belt pretensioners can help
tighten the safety belts in a side or
rear crash.
Pretensioners work only once. If the
pretensioners activate in a crash,
the pretensioners and possible other
parts of the safety belt system will
need to be replaced. See Replacing
Safety Belt System Parts after a
Crash on page 2 22.
