You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout
this section, and throughout this
manual. The safety precautions in
this section are among the most
important.
Always Wear Your Seat Belt
A seat belt is your best protection in
all types of accidents. Air bags are
designed to supplement seat belts,
not replace them. So even though
your vehicle is equipped with air
bags, ALWAYS make sure you and
your passengers wear your seat
belts, and wear them properly.
Restrain All Children
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in
a rear seat, not the front seat. Infants
and small children should be
restrained in an appropriate child
restraint. Larger children should use
a booster seat with the lap/shoulder
belt until they can use the seat belt
properly without a booster seat.
Air Bag Hazards
While air bags can save lives, they
can also cause serious or fatal
injuries to occupants who sit too
close to them, or who are not proper-
ly restrained. Infants, young children,
and shorter adults are at the greatest
risk of being injured by an inflating air
bag. Follow all instructions and warn-
ings in this manual.
Driver Distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious
and potentially deadly danger, espe-
cially for inexperienced drivers.
Safety should be the first concern
when behind the wheel and drivers
need to be aware of the wide array of
potential distractions, such as
drowsiness, reaching for objects,
eating, personal grooming, other
passengers, and using cellular
phones.
Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention off
the road or their hands off the wheel
to focus on activities other than driv-
ing. To reduce your risk of distraction
or getting into an accident:
• ALWAYS set up your mobiledevices (i.e., MP3 players, phones,
navigation units, etc.) when your
vehicle is parked or safely stopped.
ONLY use your mobile device when allowed by laws and when
conditions permit safe use. NEVER
text or email while driving. Most
states have laws prohibiting drivers
from texting. Some states and
cities also prohibit drivers from
using handheld phones.
NEVER let the use of a mobile device distract you from driving.
You have a responsibility to your
passengers and others on the road
to always drive safely, with your
hands on the wheel as well as your
eyes and attention on the road.

Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip.
At all times, passengers should sit
upright and be properly restrained.
Infants and small children must be
restrained in appropriate child restraint
systems. Adults and children who
have outgrown a booster seat must be
restrained using the seat belts.
Front Seats
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the switches located on the
outside of the seat cushion. Before
driving, adjust the seat to the proper
position so that you can easily con-
trol the steering wheel, foot pedals
and controls on the instrument panel.
Take the following precautions
when adjusting your seat belt:
NEVER use one seat belt for more than one occupant.
Always position the seatback upright with the lap portion of
the seat belt snug and low
across the hips.
NEVER allow children or small infants to ride in a pas-
senger's lap.
Do not route the seat belt across your neck, across
sharp edges, or reroute the
shoulder strap away from
your body.
Do not allow the seat belt to become caught or jammed.
WARNINGTake the following precautions
when adjusting your seat:
NEVER attempt to adjust theseat while the vehicle is mov-
ing. The seat could respond
with unexpected movement
and may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an acci-
dent.
Do not place anything under the front seats. Loose objects
in the driver's foot area could
interfere with the operation of
the foot pedals, causing an
accident.
Do not allow anything to inter- fere with the normal position
and proper locking of the
seatback.
Do not place a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat.
When you operate the seat,
gas may exit out of the lighter
causing a fire.
Use extreme caution when picking small objects trapped
under the seats or between
the seat and the center con-
sole. Your hands might be cut
or injured by the sharp edges
of the seat mechanism.

when the seat warmer is in
operation, such as a blanket or
seat cushion. This may cause
the seat warmer to overheat,
causing a burn or damage to
the seat.
WARNING
The seat warmers can cause a
SERIOUS BURN, even at low
temperatures and especially if
used for long periods of time.
Passengers must be able to feel
if the seat is becoming too
warm so they can turn it off, if
needed.

WARNING

This section describes how to use
the seat belts properly. It also
describes some of the things not to
do when using seat belts.
Seat Belt Safety Precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and
make sure all passengers have fas-
tened their seat belts before starting
any trip. Air bags are designed to
supplement the seat belt as an addi-
tional safety device, but they are not
a substitute. Most states require all
occupants of a vehicle to wear seat
belts.

Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. Take the following
precautions when adjusting
and wearing seat belts:
ALWAYS properly restrain
children under age 13 in the
rear seats.
NEVER allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. If
a child age 13 or older must
be seated in the front seat,
move the seat as far back as
possible and properly restrain
them in the seat.
NEVER allow an infant or child to be carried on an occu-
pant's lap.
NEVER ride with the seatback reclined when the vehicle is
moving.

Safety system of your vehicle
(Continued)
Do not allow children to sharea seat or seat belt.
Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind
your back.
Always wear both the shoul- der portion and lap portion of
the lap/shoulder belt.
Do not use the seat belt if it is twisted. A twisted seat belt
will not protect you properly
in an accident.
Do not use a seat belt if the webbing or hardware is dam-
aged.
Do not latch the seat belt into the buckles of other seats.
NEVER unfasten the seat belt while driving. This may cause
loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident.
Make sure there is nothing in the buckle interfering with the
seat belt latch mechanism.
This may prevent the seat belt
from fastening securely.
No modifications or additions should be made by the user
which will either prevent the
seat belt adjusting devices
from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.

2-34
Safety system of your vehicle
If you continue not to fasten the seat
belt and you drive over a certain
speed, the seat belt warning chime
will sound for approximately 100 sec-
onds and the corresponding warning
light will blink.
The warning will start again if the
seat belt is unfastened while driving.
Information
• You can find the front passenger's seat belt warning light on the center
fascia panel.
• Although the front passenger seat is not occupied, the seat belt warning
light will illuminate for 6 seconds.
• The front passenger's seat belt warning may operate when luggage
is placed on the front passenger seat.
Seat Belt Restraint System
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
The 3-point seatbelts are installed
both on the front seats and on the
rear seats. During normal driving
situations, the 3-point seatbelt
does not operate the Emergency
Locking Retractor. It rather natural-
ly extends along with passenger's
easy motion, while holding passen-
ger's body in position.
However, the Emergency Locking
Retractor (ELR) automatically
operates in abrupt stopping, sharp
turning, or collision.
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) The Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) is to provide the child
restraint system with better protec-
tion. The front passenger's seat
and the rear seats are equipped
with the Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR). You can use the
Automatic Locking Retractor mode
during normal driving situations.
When the child restraint system is
installed, switch the system to the
ALR mode.
i
The front passenger's seat belt
warning light does not properly
operate, if the front passenger
sits in an improper position. The
front passenger should follow
the instruction to properly fas-
ten the seat belt.

Rear Seat Belt – Passenger's 3-point system with convertiblelocking retractor
This type of seat belt combines the
features of both an emergency lock-
ing retractor seat belt and an auto-
matic locking retractor seat belt.
Convertible retractor type seat belts
are installed in the rear seat posi-
tions to help accommodate the
installation of child restraint systems.
Although a convertible retractor is
also installed in the front passenger
seat position, NEVER place any
infant/child restraint system in the
front seat of the vehicle.
To fasten your seat belt:
Pull the seat belt out of the retractor
and insert the metal tab into the
buckle. There will be an audible
"click" when the tab locks into the
buckle. When not securing a child
restraint, the seat belt operates in the
same way as the driver's seat belt
(Emergency Locking Retractor
Type). It automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt
portion of the seat belt is adjusted
manually so that it fits snugly across
your hips.
When the seat belt is fully extended
from the retractor to allow the instal-
lation of a child restraint system, the
seat belt operation changes to allow
the belt to retract, but not to extend
(Automatic Locking Retractor Type).
Refer to the "Using a Child Restraint
System" section in this chapter.
Improperly positioned seat
belts may increase the risk of
serious injury in an accident.
Take the following precautions
when adjusting the seat belt:
Position the lap portion of the
seat belt as low as possible
across your hips, not on your
waist, so that it fits snugly.
Position one arm under the shoulder belt and the other
over the belt, as shown in the
illustration.
Always position the shoulder belt anchor into the locked
position at the appropriate
height.
Never position the shoulder belt across your neck or face.
