position and is not equipped with safety belts. The LATCH
anchors were not designed to be used with a child seat in the center

of injury or death in the event of a collision.
Energy Management Feature

feature at the front seating positions to help further reduce the risk of
injury in the event of a head-on collision.
• This safety belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to
pay out webbing in a controlled manner. This feature is designed to
help reduce the belt force acting on the occupant's chest.
After any vehicle collision, the safety belt system at all outboard
seating positions (except driver, which has no "automatic locking
retractor" feature) must be checked by an authorized dealer to verify
that the "automatic locking retractor" feature for child seats is still
functioning properly. In addition, all safety belts should be checked for
proper function.
BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED if
the safety belt assembly "automatic locking retractor" feature or
any other safety belt function is not operating properly when checked
by an authorized dealer.
