When to use the 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. This mode should be used any time a child safety seat is installed in a passenger front or outboard rear seat[...]

After any vehicle collision, the safety belt systems at all outboard seating positions (except the driver position, which doesn ’ t have this feature) must be checked by a qualified technician to verify that the automatic locking retractor feature for child seats is still functioning properly . In addition, all seat belts should be checked for pr[...]

In the event of a collision, the colored label (REPLACE BEL T) may become visible. If this occurs, the safety belt must be replaced.

Children and air bags Children must always be properly restrained. Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of injury in a collision. Air bags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. NE[...]

The air bags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After air bag deployment, it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder or sodium compounds which may irritate the skin and eyes, but none of the residue is toxic. While the SRS is designed to help reduce ser[...]

Determining if the system is operational The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to indicate the condition of the system.
