Safety Belts The safety belt pretensioners at the front seating positions are designed to tighten the safety belts when activated. In frontal and near-frontal crashes, the safety belt pretensioners may be activated alone or, if the crash is of sufficient severity, together with the front airbags. The pretensioners may also activate when a side curtain airbag is deployed. 1. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle (the buckle closest to the direction the tongue is coming from) until you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the buckle. FASTENING THE SAFETY BELTS The front outboard and rear safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder belts. E142588 E142589 When in use, the rear safety belts should be placed in the belt guides on the outboard seatbacks. Using Safety Belts During Pregnancy WARNING Always ride and drive with your seatback upright and the safety belt properly fastened.

Pregnant women should also follow this practice. See the following figure. 2. To unfasten, press the release button and remove the tongue from the buckle. E142587 28 MKS (), enUSA
