See How to Wear Safety Belts Properly on page 3-9. Release the adjustment button (1) to lock the shoulder belt height adjuster into position. After the height adjuster is set to the desired position, make sure it is locked in place. Try to move the height adjuster up or down without pulling out on the button (1). Safety Belt Pretensioners This vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for front outboard occupants. Although the safety belt pretensioners cannot be seen, they are part of the safety belt assembly. They can help tighten the safety belts during certain types of frontal crashes if the threshold conditions for pretensioner activation are met. Safety belt pretensioners can also help tighten the safety belts in a side crash or rollover event. When a pretensioner activates, smoke is released and a loud noise may be heard. This smoke is not harmful and does not indicate a fire. 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. Adjust the height so the shoulder portion of the belt is on the shoulder and not falling off of it. The belt To adjust, pull out the adjustment button (1) and move the height adjuster (2) to the desired position so the belt passes over the center of the shoulder. The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder.
