46 Seats and Restraints
To Fasten:1. Sit on the seat in the correct driving position.
2. Pull out the seat belt holdingthe latch plate. After checking
that there are no twists in the
belt, insert the latch plate into
the buckle until it clicks. If the
retractor locks before the latch
plate reaches the buckle, let
the belt retract slightly, then
withdraw it slower than before.
3. To reduce the risk of slidingunder the belt during a
collision, position the belt
across your lap as low on your
hips as possible and adjust it to
a snug fit by pulling the
"shoulder" portion upward
through the latch plate.
The lap-shoulder belt is
designed to lock during a
sudden stop or impact. At other
times it should move freely. To Unfasten:
Push the button on the buckle. As
the belt automatically retracts, let it
be taken up slowly by holding on to
the latch plate until the belt is fully
retracted.
While being automatically retracted,
the seat belt could damage a
nearby window or interior trim
unless the latch plate is properly
held. Hold the latch plate to ensure
that the belt is taken up slowly.
Before closing the door, check that
the retracted seat belt is taut.
A slack belt could become trapped
in the door or seat rail.

Seats and Restraints 47
When the passenger's seat belt is
fully taken up (or not pulled out),
check that the stopper is holding the
belt in a fully taut state.
Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) Function
The three-point seat belts are
provided with an Emergency
Locking Retractor (ELR) function.
The ELR normally allows the seat
belt to move in and out freely as the
occupant moves. However, it locks
the seat belt to restrain the
occupant when a forward force
resulting from a collision or sudden
stop acts on the occupant.
The ELR also locks the seat belt
when the belt is pulled out quickly.
If this happens, allow it to retract
once and then pull it out slowly.Seat Belt Use During
Pregnancy
{Warning
Unless the seat belt is correctly
worn, it may dig into the abdomen
in the event of hard braking or a
collision, harming not only the
expectant mother but also the
unborn child, putting them both in
danger of serious injuries or
death.
An expectant mother or a person
who is ill riding in the vehicle must
also wear a seat belt. In light of the
risk that the seat belt will apply
pressure to the abdomen, chest and
shoulders in the event of a collision,
however, an expectant mother or
person who is ill should get advice
from a physician beforehand.
.An expectant mother should use
a three-point seat belt.
. An expectant mother should
position the lap belt snugly as
low as possible on the hips (not
across the abdomen). Also, she
should fasten the shoulder belt
so it rests on her chest, not on
her abdomen.

approximately 50 mm (2 in) in
width into a rectangle.
2. Mix one part neutral detergent into approximately twenty parts
warm water.
3. Wet the cloth in the detergent mixture, pass it through the
fold-back fitting portion of the
belt, and slide it back and forth
and laterally until dirt can no
longer be seen.
4. Remove the cloth, remove moisture from the fitting portion
of the belt using a dry cloth,
and then allow it to dry
naturally out of direct sunlight. 5. Check to be sure the seat belt
retracts and pulls out correctly.
Avoid using anything like a tool to
pass the cloth through the fold-back
fitting portion or try to remove
stubborn dirt. Using such an object
can result in plastic parts or seat
belt webbing damage.
Cleaning a Belt Webbing
1. Brush
2. Seat belt
Cleaning a Belt Webbing: 1. Fully extract the belt and examine for any difference in
color between the front and
back surfaces.

that the belt is making contact with
the door pillar trim. In this case,
arrange for inspection and
maintenance to be carried out by
your dealer.

washer fluid reservoir.
Power Outlets
You can plug in auxiliary electrical
equipment. Just flip the outlet cover
open from the left edge of the cover
and follow the proper installation
instructions that are included with

Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly
when the engine is started to
indicate they are working. When
one of the warning lights comes on
and stays on while driving, or when
one of the gauges shows there may
be a problem, check the section that
explains what to do. Waiting to do
repairs can be costly and even
dangerous.
For safety reasons, do not place
packages, tools, or other items in
the driver ’s area that may restrict
access to the controls or sight of the
gauges.
