your passengers.
1Your Vehicle’s Safety Features
Your vehicle is equipped wi th many features that
work together to help protect you and your
passengers during a crash.
Some features do not require any action on your part.
These include a strong steel framework that forms a
safety cage around the passenger compartment,
front and rear crush zone s, a collapsible steering
column, and tensioners th at tighten the front and
second row outer seat belts in a sufficient crash.
However, you and your passe ngers cannot take full
advantage of these features unless you remain seated
in the correct position and always wear your seat

Safety Checklist
For the safety of you and your passenge rs, make a habit of checking these items
each time before you drive.
• After everyone has entered the vehicle, be sure all doors and the tailgate are
closed and locked. Locking the doors and the tailgate helps prevent an occupant
from being ejected and an outsider from unexpectedly opening a door or the
tailgate.
2 Locking/Unlocking the Doors from the Inside P. 192
•Adjust your seat to a position suitable for driving. Be sure the front seats are
adjusted as far to the rear as possible while allowing the driver to control the
vehicle. Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious or fatal injury in a
crash.
2 Seats P. 239
•Adjust head restraints to the proper position. Head restraints are most effective
when the center of the head restraint alig ns with the center of your head. Taller
persons should adjust their head restraint to the highest position.
2 Adjusting the Front and Second Row Outer Seat Head Restraint Positions
P. 253
• Always wear your seat belt, and make sure you wear it properly. Confirm that any
passengers are properly belted as well.
2 Fastening a Seat Belt P. 52
•Protect children by using seat belts or child seats according to a child’s age,
height, and weight.

About Your Seat Belts
Seat belts are the single most effective safety device because they keep you
connected to the vehicle so that you can take advantage of many built-in safety
features. They also help keep you from be ing thrown against the inside of the
vehicle, against any passengers, or out of the vehicle. When worn properly, seat
belts also keep your body properly positioned in a crash so that you can take full
advantage of the additional protection provided by the airbags.
In addition, seat belts help protect you in almost every type of crash, including:
- frontal impacts
- side impacts
- rear impacts
- rollovers
■Lap/shoulder seat belts
All seven or eight seating positions are e quipped with lap/shoulder seat belts with
emergency locking retractors. In normal driv ing, the retractor lets you move freely
while keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop, the
retractor locks to restrain your body.
The front passenger’s, second row, and th ird row seat belts also have a lockable
retractor for use with child seats.
2 Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt P. 87
1About Your Seat Belts
If you extend the seat belt t oo quickly, it will lock in
place. If this happens, sli ghtly retract the seat belt,
then extend it slowly.
Seat belts cannot complete ly protect you in every
crash. But in most cases, seat belts can reduce your
risk of serious injury.
Most states and all Canadian provinces and territories
require you to w ear seat belts.
3WARNING
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases
the chance of serious injury or death in a
crash, even though your vehicle has
airbags.
Be sure you and your passengers always
wear seat belts and wear them properly.

■Proper use of seat belts
Follow these guidelines for proper use:
• All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that position
for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduc e the effectiveness of the
belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
• Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
• Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very
seriously injured in a crash.
• Do not put any accessories on the seat be lts. Devices intended to improve comfort
or reposition the shoulder part of a seat be lt can reduce the protective capability
and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.1 About Your Seat Belts
If a rear seat passenger moves around and extends
the seat belt, the lockable retractor may activate. If
this happens, release the retractor by unfastening the
seat belt and allow the belt to retract completely.
Then refasten the belt.

uuSeat Belts uAbout Your Seat Belts
Safe Driving
A transceiver is installed in the removable seat
to wirelessly communicate the seat belt
fastening information to the vehicle. It will
automatically connect to the vehicle whenever
the seat is in or near its installation position.
Radio waves are transmitted to and from a
transceiver in the removable seat in order to
obtain the seat belt status.
In the following cases, the seat belt may be
displayed as unfastened even if it is fastened:
• Strong radio waves are being transmitted
by nearby equipment, such as a wireless
phone charger.
• Telecommunications equipment, a laptop
computer, cell phone, wireless device, or
another high-powered electronic device is
placed in, under, or close to the removable
seat.
• A metallic object is covering all or part of
the seat, or a large metallic object is placed
in the cabin in a way that is blocking the
vehicle’s antennas from communicating
with the transmitter in the seat.
• The battery in the transceiver dies.
1Seat Belt Reminder
Electronic devices can create radio frequencies which
interfere with the wireless seat belt reminder
communication. If the system does not function as
expected, please check that such items are not in,
under or adjacent to the removable seat. Then turn
the ignition off and then on again. If the malfunction
continues, please see your dealer.
The transceiver has a spec ially designed coin-cell
battery that needs to be replaced periodically. Battery
life is about five years, but this varies depending on
regularity of use.
The battery can be consumed whenever the seat
transceiver is receiving strong radio waves. Avoid
placing high powered electric al devices in or near the
removable seat, such as ga ming consoles or wireless
chargers.
If the battery is low or the seat belt reminder is no
longer working, please see your dealer to have the
battery replaced.
3WARNING
CHEMICAL BURN HAZARD
The battery that powers the seat belt
transceiver can cause severe internal burns
and can even lead to death if swallowed.
Keep new and used batteries away from
children.
If you suspect that a child has swallowed
the battery, seek medical attention
immediately.

Safe Driving
• Never hold a child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them in the
event of a collision.
• Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt would
likely press deep into the child an d cause serious or fatal injuries.
• Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be very
seriously injured in a crash.
• Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt correctly must be restrained in an
approved child seat that is properly secu red to the vehicle using either the seat
belt or the lower anchor s of the LATCH system.
• Do not allow children to operate the doors, windows, or seat adjustments.
• Do not leave children in the vehicle unattended, especially in hot weather when
the inside of the vehicle can get hot enough to kill them. They could also activate
vehicle controls, causing it to move unexpectedly.1 Protecting Child Passengers
To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle
and allow the seat belt to wind up all the way.
To remind you of the pa ssenger’s front airbag
hazards and child safety, your vehicle has warning
labels on the dashboard (U.S. models) and on the
front visors. Please read and follow the instructions
on these labels. 2 Safety Labels P. 96
3WARNING
Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or
wrap one around their neck can result in
serious injury or death.
Instruct children not to play with any seat
belt and make sure any unused seat belt a
child can reach is buckled, fully retracted,
and locked.
