Lap/shoulder seat belts
All five 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.
Models with lockable retractor seat belts
The front passenger's * and rear seat belts also have a lockable retractor for use with
child restraint systems.

1About Your Seat Belts
The emergency locking retractor may lock if you lean
forward too quickly. Slower movements will allow
the belt to extend fully without locking.
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.
