WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in an
accident and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically, checking
for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts
must be replaced immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system. Seat belt as-
semblies must be replaced after an accident if
they have been damaged (i.e., bent retractor,
torn webbing, etc.).
Rear Center Lap/Shoulder Belt
Retractor Lockout (Four-Door
Models Only)
This feature is designed to lock the retractor
whenever the 60% rear seatback is not fully
latched. This prevents someone from wearing
the rear center lap/shoulder belt when the rear
seatback is not fully latched.
NOTE:
• If the rear center lap/shoulder belt cannot
be pulled out, check that the rear seat-
back is fully latched.
28
• If the rear seatback is properly latched
and the rear center lap/shoulder belt still
cannot be pulled out, the Automatic-
Locking Retractor (ALR) system may be
activated. To reset this feature you must
let all of the belt webbing return into the
retractor. You will not be able to pull out
more webbing until all of the webbing has
been returned back into the retractor.
WARNING!
The rear center lap/shoulder belt is equipped
with a lock-out feature to ensure that the rear
seatback is in the fully upright and locked
position when occupied. If the rear seatback is
not fully upright and locked and the rear
center lap/shoulder belt can be pulled out of
the retractor, the vehicle should immediately
be taken to your authorized dealer for service.
Failure to follow this warning could result in
serious or fatal injury.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting
Procedure
Use the following procedure to untwist a
twisted lap/shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close as possible
to the anchor point.
2. At about 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) above the
latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing
180 degrees to create a fold that begins imme-
diately above the latch plate.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded
webbing. The folded webbing must enter the
slot at the top of the latch plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it
clears the folded webbing.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt
Anchorage
In the front seat positions, the shoulder belt
anchorage can be adjusted upward or down-
ward to position the belt away from your neck.
Push in on the anchorage near your outside
shoulder and slide it up or down to reach the
position that serves you best.
