The retractor will lock up as follows: if the belt is pulled out rapidly during braking and acceleration if the vehicle is leaning excessively when driving in turns For the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn correctly.

The shoulder section of the front seat belts adjusts automatically to the driver's height. Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut. Before exiting the car, check that the seat belt retracts fully after being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt back into the retractor slot. NOTE: Legislation in your state or province may mandate seat belt usage. For information on securing child seats, please refer to page 10.
