The front passenger's seat belt use
monitoring system uses the occupant
detection sensor in the front
passenger's seat. The system may
not work properly under these
conditions:
You place heavy items on the front
passenger's seat.
You place a cushion on the front
passenger's seat.
The front passenger does not sit
properly.
Have your vehicle checked by a
dealer if the indicator comes on or
the beeper sounds when there is no
front passenger or there are no
objects on the front seat.
Additional Information About Your Seat Belts
Lap/Shoulder Belt
SHOULDER UPPER SEAT
PORTION BELT ANCHOR
LATCH
PLATE
BUCKLE LAP PORTION
The lap/shoulder belt goes over
your shoulder, across your chest,
and across your hips.
To fasten the belt, insert the latch
plate into the buckle, then tug on the
belt to make sure the buckle is
latched (see page 16 for how to
properly position the belt).
To unlock the belt, push the red
PRESS button on the buckle. Guide
the belt across your body so that it
retracts completely. After exiting the
vehicle, be sure the belt is out of the
way and will not get closed in the
door.
All lap/shoulder belts have an
emergency 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.
