Lap/shoulder seat belts
The front and rear outer seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts
with emergency locking retractors. In normal driving the retractor lets you move
freely while keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop the
retractor locks to restrain your body.
The seat belt must be properly secured when using a front-facing child restraint
system.

Proper use of seat belts
Follow these guidelines for proper use:
• All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that position
for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduce the effectiveness of the
belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
• Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
• Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very
seriously injured in a crash.
• Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improve comfort
or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective capability
and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

1About Your Seat Belts
If you extend the seat belt too quickly, it will lock in
place. If this happens, slightly retract the seat belt,
then extend it slowly.
Seat belts cannot completely protect you in every
crash. But in most cases, seat belts can reduce your
risk of serious injury.
Most countries require you to wear seat belts. Take
time to familiarise with the legal requirements of the
countries in which you will drive.
Your vehicle's rear centre seat is equipped with the
lap seat belt. This seat belt does not come with an
emergency locking retractor.
