OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS

Some of the most important safety features in your

vehicle are the restraint systems:

• Three-point lap and shoulder belts for all seating

positions

• Advanced Front Airbags for driver and front

passenger

• An energy-absorbing steering column and steering

wheel

• Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants

• Seat belts incorporate pretensioners to enhance occu-

pant protection by managing occupant energy during

an impact event — if equipped

• Passenger side seatbelt incorporates an Automatic

Locking Retractor (ALR), which locks the seat belt

webbing 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 —

if equipped

If you will be carrying children too small for adult-sized

seat belts, the seat belts or the Lower Anchors and Tether

for CHildren (LATCH) feature also can be used to hold

infant and child restraint systems. For more information

on LATCH, see Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren

(LATCH).

NOTE: The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage

inflator design. This allows the airbag to have different

rates of inflation based on several factors, including the

severity and type of collision.

Please pay close attention to the information in this

section. It tells you how to use your restraint system

properly, to keep you and your passengers as safe as

possible.
