Safety Belts 49 • The rear inflatable safety belts will function like standard restraints in everyday usage. • During a crash of sufficient force, the inflatable belt will inflate from inside the webbing. • The fully inflated belt's increased diameter more effectively holds the occupant in the appropriate seating position, and spreads crash forces over more area of the body than regular safety belts. This helps reduce pressure on the chest and helps control head and neck motion for passengers. Stowing the Rear Inflatable Safety Belt The rear inflatable safety belt has a snap retainer for stowing the safety belt against the quarter trim panel when it is not in use. This will prevent the safety belt tongue from rattling against the side of the seat and keep it out of the way when folding or tumbling the second row seats. Press the retainer on the safety belt onto the mating snap to stow. To use the safety belt, pull it away from the quarter trim panel. 2014 MKT (mkt) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, April 2013 USA (fus)
