The driver’s and front passenger’s seats eachhave a seat belt
equipped with a pre-tensioner
system and force limiter system.

WA R N I N GThe extender should only be used if theexisting belt is not long enough. Anyonewho can use the standard seat belt shouldnot use an extender. Unnecessary use of anextender can adversel
y affect seat belt
performance in an accident.When not required, the extender must beremoved and stowed.
Seat belt use during preg-nancy
WA R N I N GTo reduce the risk of serious injury ordeath to pregnant women and unbornchildren in an accident, pregnant womenshould always wear
a seat belt. The lap

The driver and front pa
ssenger seat belts are
equipped with a seat belt pre-tensioner sys-tem. In a moderate-to-severe frontal or sidecollision or when a rollover or overturning ofthe vehicle is detected, the pre-tensioner sys-tem operates simultaneous
ly with the deploy-
ment of the front airb
ags, side airbags or
curtain airbags.The seat belt pre-tensi
oners are located in the
driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt retrac-tors (A) and in the front
passenger se
at’s final
anchor (B). When activated, the pre-tension-ers quickly draw back seat belt webbing andincrease seat belt performance.The seat belt pre-tens
ioner system includes
the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readinessof the electronic parts of the system wheneverthe ignition switch or the operation mode isunder the following conditions. These includeall of the items listed
above and all related
wiring.[Except for vehicles
equipped with the
F. A . S . T. - k e y ]The ignition switch is in the “ON” or“START” position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]The operation mode is in ON.
The seat belt pre-tens
ioners will operate
under the same conditions
as the airbag con-
trol unit.When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate,some smoke is released
and a loud noise will
be heard. The smoke is
not harmful, but care
should be taken not to in
tentionally inhale it,
as it may cause some
temporary irritation to
people with respiratory problems.Even in the event of a severe impact, the pre-tensioners will
not operate if the seat belts are
not fastened. The seat be
lt pre-tensioners may
not activate in certai
n collisions, even though
the vehicle may appear
to be severely dam-
aged. Such non-activation does not mean thatsomething is wrong with
the seat belt pre-ten-
sioner system, but rather that the collisionforces were not severe
enough to activate the
system.

When transporting infants or small childrenin your vehicle, an appr
opriate child restraint
system must always be
used. This is required
by law in the U.S. and Canada.Child restraint systems specifically designedfor infants and small children are offered byseveral manufacturers. Choose only a childrestraint system with a label certifying that itcomplies with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor VehicleRestraint Systems and
Booster Seats Safety
Regulations (RSSR).
Look for the manufac-
turer’s statement of compliance on the boxand child restraint system itself.
The child restraint system should be appropri-ate for your child’s we
ight and height, and
should properly fit your vehicle’s seat.For detailed information,
refer to the instruc-
tion manual accompanying the child restraintsystem.All children should be properly restrained ina restraint device that offers the maximumprotection for their size and age.Be sure to check local,
state, or provincial
requirements for child size and age that mayvary from the recommendations listed below.Children less than 1 year old and whoweigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUSTride in a rear-facing child safety seat thatMUST ONLY be used in the second rowseat.Children older than 1 year of age and whoweigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) or whoare less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall mustbe in a forward-facing restraint used onlyin the rear seat.
Children who weigh more than 40 pounds(18 kg) or who are more than 40 inches(100 cm) tall, regardless of age, shoulduse a suitable child seat or a booster seatin the rear seat until the vehicle’s lap-and-shoulder belt fits
them properly.

Guidelines for child restraint system selection
WA R N I N GAll children must be seated in the rearseat, and properly restrained.Accident statistics
show that children of
all sizes and ages are safer when properlyrestrained in the rear seat, rather than inthe front seat.Be sure to select a child restraint systemthat is appropriate not only for the child’ssize and age but also for your vehicle.Some child restraint systems may not fityour vehicle properly.

Any child who is too large to use a childrestraint system should ride in the rearseat and wear the la
p-and-shoulder belt
properly. The shoulder belt must be posi-tioned over the shou
lder and across the
chest, not across their neck, and with thelap belt positioned low on the child’s hips,not across their stomach. If necessary, abooster seat should be
used to help achieve
a proper seat belt fi
t. Follow the booster
seat manufacturer’s instructions. Only usea booster seat that is
certified as comply-
ing with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Sys-tems and Booster Seats Safety Regula-tions. WA R N I N G
WA R N I N GNever hold an infant
or child in your arms
or on your lap when ri
ding in this vehicle,
even when you are wearing your seat belt.Never place any part of the seat belt youare wearing around an
infant or child.
Failure to follow these simple instructionscreates a risk of serious injury or death toyour child in the even
t of an accident or
sudden stop.
WA R N I N GYour vehicle is also equipped with a frontpassenger’s airbag.Never put REAR-FACING CHILDRESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANTRESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas-senger seat. This places the infant tooclose to the passenger’s airbag. Duringdeployment of that airbag, the infant canbe seriously injured
or killed.

NOTE
In order to secure a child restraint systemcompatible with the LATCH system, use thelower anchor points in the outboard positionsof the second row seat. It is not necessary touse the vehicle’s seat
belt. The vehicle’s seat
belt, however, MUST be
used to secure a
child restraint system in the middle seatingposition of the second row seat.WA R N I N GIf there is any foreign material in oraround the lower an
chors, remove it
before installing the child restraint sys-tem. Also, make sure the seat belt is awayfrom, not looped through or otherwiseinterfering with, the child restraint sys-tem. If foreign matter is not removedand/or the seat belt
interferes with the
child restraint system, the child restraintsystem will not be secured properly, coulddetach and move forw
ard in the event of
sudden braking or an
accident, and could
result in injury to the child or other vehi-cle occupants.When the vehicle is
moving, do not adjust
the seat where the child restraint system isinstalled.
NOTE
If it is difficult to
latch the tether strap hook,
turn the hook sideways.WA R N I N GChild restraint system tether anchors aredesigned only to with
stand loads from cor-
rectly fitted child restraint systems. Underno circumstances are they to be used foradult seat belts, harnesses, for attachingother items, or equipment to the vehicle.
