The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely, provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far. The retractor will lock up as follows: if the belt is pulled out rapidly during braking and acceleration if the vehicle is leaning excessively when driving in turns For the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn correctly. When wearing the seat belt remember: The belt should not be twisted or turned. The lap belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen). Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut. Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot. NOTE: Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage. Child seats: Please refer to page 14 for information on securing child seats with the seat belts. During pregnancy Pregnant women should always wear seat belts.
