Safety belt locking modes

All safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder

belts. The driver safety belt has the first locking mode and the front

outboard passenger and rear seat safety belts have both types of locking

modes described as follows:

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 5 mph

(8 km/h) or more, the combination safety belts will lock to help reduce

forward movement of the driver and passengers.

In addition, the retractor is designed to lock if the webbing is pulled out

too quickly. If this occurs, let the belt retract slightly and pull webbing

out again in a slow and controlled manner.

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.

When to use the automatic locking mode

This mode should be used any time a child safety seat, except a

booster, is installed in passenger front or rear seating positions. Children

12 years old and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating

position whenever possible. Refer to Safety restraints for children or

Safety seats for children later in this chapter.

How to use the automatic locking mode

1. Buckle the combination lap and

shoulder belt.

2. Grasp the shoulder portion and

pull downward until the entire belt

is pulled out.

• Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking

sound. This indicates the safety belt is now in the automatic locking

mode.
