Energy management retractors

Your vehicle has a seat belt system equipped with energy management

retractors at the driver and front outboard passenger seating positions.

An energy management retractor is a device which pays out webbing in a

controlled manner. This feature is designed to help further reduce the

risk of force-related injuries to the occupant.

Seat belt systems equipped with an energy management retractor must

be replaced if they were in use during a frontal collision which resulted

in deployment of the frontal air bags. Refer to the Safety belt

maintenance section in this chapter.

Vehicle sensitive mode

This is the normal retractor mode, which allows free shoulder belt length

adjustment to your movements and locking in response to vehicle

movement. For example, if the driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner

sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of approximately 8 km/h (5

mph) or more, the combination safety belts will lock to help reduce

forward movement of the driver and passengers.

Automatic locking mode

In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt will

still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The automatic

locking mode is not available on the driver safety belt.

This mode should be used any time a child safety seat is installed in the

vehicle. Children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in

the rear seat whenever possible. Refer to Safety restraints for children

or Safety seats for children later in this chapter.
