3-16 Seats and Restraints Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider does not stop. The person keeps going until stopped by something.
Seats and Restraints 3-17 or the safety belts! With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. Y ou get more time to stop. Y ou stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces. That is why safety belts make such good sense. Questions and Answers About Safety Belts Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle after a crash if I am wearing a safety belt? A: Y ou could be — whether you are wearing a safety belt or not.
3-18 Seats and Restraints Q: If I am a good driver , and I never drive far from home, why should I wear safety belts? A: Y ou may be an excellent driver , but if you are in a crash — even one that is not your fault — you and your passenger(s) can be hurt.

Seats and Restraints 3-21 { W ARNING Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not on the pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries.
3-22 Seats and Restraints Q: What is wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder at all times. { W ARNING Y ou can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury .
Seats and Restraints 3-23 { W ARNING Y ou can be seriously injured by not wearing the lap-shoulder belt properly . In a crash, you would not be restrained by the shoulder belt. Y our body could move too far forward increasing the chance of head and neck injury .
3-24 Seats and Restraints 2. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Do not let it get twisted. The lap-shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt across you very quickly . If this happens, let the belt go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you more slowly .

Seats and Restraints 3-29 The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother . When a safety belt is worn properly , it is more likely that the fetus will not be hurt in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts effective is wearing them properly .
3-30 Seats and Restraints Replacing Safety Belt System Parts After a Crash { W ARNING A crash can damage the safety belt system in the vehicle. A damaged safety belt system may not properly protect the person using it, resulting in serious injury or even death in a crash.
Seats and Restraints 3-31 All of the airbags in the vehicle will have the word AIRBAG embossed in the trim or on an attached label near the deployment opening. For frontal airbags, the word AIRBAG will appear on the middle part of the steering wheel for the driver and on the instrument panel for the right front passenger .
3-32 Seats and Restraints { W ARNING Airbags inflate with great force, faster than the blink of an eye. Anyone who is up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Do not sit unnecessarily close to the airbag, as you would be if you were sitting on the edge of your seat or leaning forward.
Seats and Restraints 3-33 Where Are the Airbags? The driver frontal airbag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The right front passenger frontal airbag is in the instrument panel on the passenger side. Driver Side shown, Passenger Side similar The seat-mounted side impact airbags for the driver and right front passenger are in the side of the seatbacks closest to the door .
3-34 Seats and Restraints Driver Side shown, Passenger Side similar The roof-rail airbags for the driver , right front passenger , passengers behind the driver and right front passenger , and the third row outboard passengers are in the ceiling above the side windows.
Seats and Restraints 3-35 Frontal airbags may inflate at different crash speeds. For example: . If the vehicle hits a stationary object, the airbags could inflate at a different crash speed than if the vehicle hits a moving object. . If the vehicle hits an object that deforms, the airbags could inflate at a different crash speed than if the vehicle hits an object that does not deform.
3-36 Seats and Restraints determined by the location and severity of the side impact. In a rollover event, roof-rail airbag deployment is determined by the direction of the roll. What Makes an Airbag Inflate? In a deployment event, the sensing system sends an electrical signal triggering a release of gas from the inflator .
Seats and Restraints 3-37 The parts of the airbag that come into contact with you may be warm, but not too hot to touch. There may be some smoke and dust coming from the vents in the deflated airbags. Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing out of the windshield or being able to steer the vehicle, nor does it prevent people from leaving the vehicle.
3-38 Seats and Restraints . The vehicle has a crash sensing and diagnostic module which records information after a crash. See V ehicle Data Recording and Privacy on page 13 ‑ 15 and Event Data Recorders on page 13 ‑ 16 . . Let only qualified technicians work on the airbag systems.
Seats and Restraints 3-39 We recommend that children be secured in a rear seat, including: an infant or a child riding in a rear-facing child restraint; a child riding in a forward-facing child seat; an older child riding in a booster seat; and children, who are large enough, using safety belts.
3-40 Seats and Restraints The passenger sensing system is designed to turn on (may inflate) the right front passenger frontal airbag anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the right front passenger seat. When the passenger sensing system has allowed the airbag to be enabled, the on indicator will light and stay lit to remind you that the airbag is active.
Seats and Restraints 3-41 5. If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, turn the vehicle off. Then slightly recline the vehicle seatback and adjust the seat cushion, if adjustable, to make sure that the vehicle seatback is not pushing the child restraint into the seat cushion.
3-42 Seats and Restraints Additional Factors Affecting System Operation Safety belts help keep the passenger in position on the seat during vehicle maneuvers and braking, which helps the passenger sensing system maintain the passenger airbag status. See “ Safety Belts ” and “ Child Restraints ” in the Index for additional information about the importance of proper restraint use.
Seats and Restraints 3-43 The on indicator may be lit if an object, such as a briefcase, handbag, grocery bag, laptop or other electronic device, is put on an unoccupied seat. If this is not desired remove the object from the seat. { W ARNING Stowing of articles under the passenger seat or between the passenger seat cushion and seatback may interfere with the proper operation of the passenger sensing system.
3-44 Seats and Restraints Adding Equipment to the Airbag-Equipped V ehicle Q: Is there anything I might add to or change about the vehicle that could keep the airbags from working properly? A: Y es. If you add things that change the vehicle's frame, bumper system, height, front end or side sheet metal, they may keep the airbag system from working properly .
Seats and Restraints 3-45 Airbag System Check The airbag system does not need regularly scheduled maintenance or replacement. Make sure the airbag readiness light is working. See Airbag Readiness Light on page 5 ‑ 14 for more information. Notice: If an airbag covering is damaged, opened, or broken, the airbag may not work properly .
3-46 Seats and Restraints Child Restraints Older Children Older children who have outgrown booster seats should wear the vehicle's safety belts. The manufacturer's instructions that come with the booster seat, state the weight and height limitations for that booster .
Seats and Restraints 3-47 According to accident statistics, children and infants are safer when properly restrained in a child restraint system or infant restraint system secured in a rear seating position. In a crash, children who are not buckled up can strike other people who are buckled up, or can be thrown out of the vehicle.
3-48 Seats and Restraints Infants and Y oung Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes infants and all other children. Neither the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints.
Seats and Restraints 3-49 { W ARNING Never do this. Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat. Secure a rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat.
3-50 Seats and Restraints Q: What are the different types of add-on child restraints? A: Add-on child restraints, which are purchased by the vehicle's owner , are available in four basic types. Selection of a particular restraint should take into consideration not only the child's weight, height, and age but also whether or not the restraint will be compatible with the motor vehicle in which it will be used.
Seats and Restraints 3-51 Child Restraint Systems (A) Rear ‐ Facing Infant Seat A rear-facing infant seat (A) provides restraint with the seating surface against the back of the infant. The harness system holds the infant in place and, in a crash, acts to keep the infant positioned in the restraint.
3-52 Seats and Restraints Securing an Add-On Child Restraint in the V ehicle { W ARNING A child can be seriously injured or killed in a crash if the child restraint is not properly secured in the vehicle. Secure the child restraint properly in the vehicle using the vehicle's safety belt or LA TCH system, following the instructions that came with that child restraint and the instructions in this manual.
Seats and Restraints 3-53 child seat; an older child riding in a booster seat; and children, who are large enough, using safety belts. A label on the sun visor says, “ Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the front. ” This is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys.
3-54 Seats and Restraints Lower Anchors and T ethers for Children (LA TCH System) The LA TCH system holds a child restraint during driving or in a crash. This system is designed to make installation of a child restraint easier . The LA TCH system uses anchors in the vehicle and attachments on the child restraint that are made for use with the LA TCH system.
Seats and Restraints 3-55 T op T ether Anchor A top tether (A, C) anchors the top of the child restraint to the vehicle. A top tether anchor is built into the vehicle.
