OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Some of the most important safety features in your
vehicle are the restraint systems:
• Three-point lap and shoulder belts for the driver and
all seating positions
• Front seat belts incorporate pretensioners that may
enhance occupant protection by managing occupant
energy during an impact event
• Advanced Front Air Bags for driver and front passen-
ger
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC)
• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB)
• An energy-absorbing steering column and steering
wheel
• Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants
• Passenger seat belt systems include Automatic Lock-
ing Retractors (ALRs), which lock the seat belt web-
bing into position by extending the belt all the way out
and then adjusting the belt to the desired length to
restrain a child seat or secure a large item in a seat
