To unlatch the belt, push the button
on the buckle. The belt should
return to its stowed position.
Before a door is closed, be sure the
safety belt is out of the way. If a
door is slammed against a safety
belt, damage can occur to both the
safety belt and the vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder belt
height adjuster for the driver and
right front passenger seating
positions.
Adjust the height so the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The belt
should be close to, but not
contacting, the neck. Improper
shoulder belt height adjustment
could reduce the effectiveness of
the safety belt in a crash. See How
to Wear Safety Belts Properly on
page 3-14.
Press the release button and move
the height adjuster to the desired
position. The adjuster can be moved
up by pushing the slide/trim up.
After the adjuster is set to the
Seats and Restraints
desired position, try to move it down
without pushing the release button
to make sure it has locked into
position.
Automatic Safety Belt
Tightening System
If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC), it also has the
Automatic Safety Belt Tightening
System. See Adaptive Cruise
Control on page 9-37.
Each time the vehicle is started with
the front safety belts buckled, the
system activates once to tighten the
safety belts when the forward
vehicle speed exceeds the
threshold for activation.
The system also activates during
emergency braking and/or sudden
driving maneuvers and releases
when driving conditions return to
normal.
The system will not activate if the
Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control system is not functioning
properly. See Traction Control/
3-17
