Additional Information About Your Seat Belts DETACHABLE ANCHOR Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners The tensioners are designed to activate primarily in frontal collisions, and they should activate in any collision severe enough to cause front-airbag inflation. However, the tensioners can be activated during a collision in which where the front airbags do not deploy. In this case, the airbags would not be needed, but the additional restraint could be helpful. The lap/shoulder belt in the center seating position on the rear seat is equipped with a detachable anchor that has two parts: a small latch plate and an anchor buckle. The detachable anchor should normally be latched whenever the seat-backs are in an upright position. For more information about the detachable anchors (see page 84 ). For added protection, the front seat belts are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners. When activated, the tensioners immediately tighten the belts to help hold the driver and a front passenger in place. When the tensioners are activated, the seat belts will remain tight until they are unbuckled in the normal manner. Driver and Passenger Safety 21
