driver or outboard front seat passen-
ger is unbelted, the Seat Belt Re-
minder Light will turn on and remain
on until both outboard front seat belts
are buckled.
The BeltAlert warning sequence be-
gins after the vehicle speed is over
8 km/h by blinking the Seat Belt Re-
minder Light and sounding an inter-
mittent chime. Once the sequence
starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seat
belts are buckled. After the sequence
completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until the
respective seat belts are buckled. The
driver should instruct all other occu-
pants to buckle their seat belts. If an
outboard front seat belt is unbuckled
while traveling at speeds greater than
8 km/h, BeltAlert will provide both
audio and visual notification.
The outboard front passenger seat
BeltAlert is not active when the out-
board front passenger seat is unoccu-
pied. BeltAlert may be triggered when
an animal or heavy object is on the
outboard front passenger seat or when
36
the seat is folded flat (if equipped). It
is recommended that pets be re-
strained in the rear seat (if equipped)
in pet harnesses or pet carriers that
are secured by seat belts, and cargo is
properly stowed.
NOTE: If BeltAlert has been de-
activated, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light will continue to illuminate
while the driver's or outboard
front passenger's (if equipped with
BeltAlert) seat belt remains un-
buckled.
LAP/SHOULDER BELTS
All seating positions in your vehicle
are equipped with lap/shoulder belts.
The seat belt webbing retractor will
lock only during very sudden stops or
collisions. This feature allows the
shoulder part of the seat belt to move
freely with you under normal condi-
tions. However, in a collision the seat
belt will lock and reduce your risk of
striking the inside of the vehicle or
being thrown out of the vehicle.
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone
could lead to more severe injuries
in a collision. The air bags work
with your seat belt to restrain you
properly. In some collisions, the
air bags won't deploy at all. Al-
ways wear your seat belt even
though you have air bags.
• In a collision, you and your pas-
sengers can suffer much greater
injuries if you are not properly
buckled up. You can strike the
interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown
out of the vehicle. Always be sure
you and others in your vehicle are
buckled up properly.
• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo
area, inside or outside of a ve-
hicle. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts.
