4. Buckle, position, and release the safety belt as described in Rear Seat Passengers on page 1-19. Make sure that the shoulder belt crosses the shoulder. To remove and store the comfort guides, squeeze the belt edges together so that you can take them out of the guides. Slide the guide into the storage pocket. Safety Belt Pretensioners Your vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for the driver and right front passenger. Although you can not see them, they are located on the buckle end of the safety belts. They help the safety belts reduce a person's forward movement in a moderate to severe frontal and near frontal crash. {CAUTION: A safety belt that is not properly worn may not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces. Pretensioners work only once. If they activate in a crash, you will need to get new ones, and probably other new parts for your safety belt system.
