Seat Belt Systems

Do not leave a seat belt extender connected to the buckle:

Leaving a seat belt extender connected to the buckle without using the seat belt is dangerous. When the seat belt extender is connected to the driver's seat belt buckle (or passenger) seat, the SRS driver's (or passenger's) air bag system will determine that the driver (or passenger) is wearing the seat belt even if the driver (or passenger) is not wearing it. This condition could cause the driver's (or passenger's) air bag to not activate correctly and result in death or serious injury in the event of collision. Always wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender.

Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child-restraint system on the passenger seat:

Using a seat belt extender to fasten a child-restraint system on any seat is dangerous. Always follow the child- restraint system manufacturer's installation instructions and never use a seat belt extender.

NOTE

When not in use, remove the seat belt extender and store it in the vehicle. If the seat belt extender is left connected, the seat belt extender might get damaged as it will not retract with the rest of the seat belt and can easily fall out of the door when not in use and be damaged. In addition, the seat belt warning light will not illuminate and function properly.

Seat Belt Warning Light

The seat belt warning light illuminates if the driver or front passenger's seat is occupied and the seat belt is not fastened when the ignition switched ON.
