THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 37 NOTE: Watch for the Seat Belt Reminder light to turn on while unbuckling the seat belt and turn off while rebuckling the seat belt. It may be necessary to retract the seat belt. 6. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position. A single chime will sound to signify that you have completed the programming successfully. The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert௡) can be reactivated by repeating this procedure. NOTE: When the Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert௡) is deactivated, the Seat Belt Reminder light will continue to illuminate as long as the driver's seat belt or the passenger's seat belt is unbuckled. Automatic Locking Mode The seat belts for both occupants are equipped with emergency locking retractors for normal use. Emergency locking retractors activate during very sudden stops or impacts. The passenger seat belt in your vehicle can also be converted to an automatic locking retractor to secure child restraint systems. Seat belts equipped with automatic locking retractors have a distinctive label on the webbing. How To Engage The Automatic Locking Mode To convert the passenger seat belt from emergency locking mode to automatic locking mode, grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull all of the webbing out of the retractor. Then, allow some of the webbing to retract back into the retractor. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound indicating that the belt is now in automatic locking mode. 2
