2. To unfasten, push the release

button and remove the tongue

The front outboard safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap

and shoulder belts. The front passenger outboard safety belt has two

types of locking modes described below:

Energy Management Feature

• This vehicle has a seat belt system with an energy management

feature at the front outboard seating positions to help further reduce

the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision.

• This seat belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to pay

out webbing in a controlled manner. This feature is designed to help

reduce the belt force acting on the occupant’s chest.

Vehicle sensitive mode

The vehicle sensitive mode is the normal retractor mode, allowing free

shoulder belt length adjustment to your movements and locking in

response to vehicle movement. For example, if the driver brakes

suddenly or turns a corner sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of

approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more, the combination safety belts will

lock to help reduce forward movement of the driver and passengers.

Automatic locking mode

In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt will

still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt.

The automatic locking mode is not available on the driver safety belt.

When to use the automatic locking mode

• Any time a child safety seat is installed in a passenger front seat.

Refer to Safety Restraints for Children, Safety Seats for Children,

or Passenger air bag On/Off switch later in this chapter.
