facilitate carrying long items or to
increase the luggage capacity of the
vehicle.To fold down the rear seatback:
1. Set the front seatback to theupright position and if necessary,
slide the front seat forward.
2. Pull out the seatback locking knob (1) in the trunk or the strap (2) at

position and no seat belts are
available for use. This could
result in serious injury or death
in case of an accident or sud-
den stop. Objects carried on the
folded down seatback should
not extend higher than the top
of the front seats. This could
allow cargo to slide forward and
cause injury or damage during

Seat belt restraint system
SEAT BELTS
WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis, or
the pelvis, chest and shoulders,
as applicable; wearing the lap
section of the belt across the
abdominal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted
as firmly as possible, consis-
tent with comfort, to provide the
protection for which they have
been designed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
A slack belt will greatly reduce
the protection afforded to the
wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing
with polishes, oils and chemi-
cals and particularly battery
acid. Cleaning may safely be
carried out using mild soap and
water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or dam-
aged. It is essential to replace
the entire assembly after it has
been worn in a severe impact
even if damage to the assembly
is not obvious. Belts should not
be worn with straps twisted.
Each seat belt assembly must
only be used by one occupant;
it is dangerous to put a belt
around a child being carried on
the occupant's lap.(Continued)
Avoid wearing twisted seatbelts. A twisted belt can't do
its job as well. In a collision, it
could even cut into you. Be
sure the belt webbing is
straight and not twisted.
Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. If
the belt webbing or hardware
is damaged, replace it.
WARNING
For maximum restraint systemprotection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the
car is moving.
Seat belts are most effective when seatbacks are in the
upright position.
Children age 12 and under must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If a
child over 12 must be seated in
the front seat, he/she must be
properly belted and the seat
should be moved as far back as
possible.
Never wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly posi-
tioned shoulder belt can cause
serious injuries in a crash. The
shoulder belt should be posi-
tioned midway over your shoul-
der across your collarbone.

Safety features of your vehicle
Seat belt warning (for driver’s seat)
As a reminder to the driver, the seat
belt warning light will blink for
approximately 6 seconds each time
you turn the ignition switch ON
and/or START regardless of belt fas-
tening. If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition switch is turned ON
and/or START, the seat belt warning
light and the seat belt warning chime
will operate for approximately 6 sec-
onds. If the driver’s seat belt is fas-
tened within the 6 seconds, the
warning light will blink during the 6
seconds and the warning chime will
turn off immediately.
If the driver's seat belt is disconnect-
ed after the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position, the seat belt
warning light will blink for approxi-
mately 6 seconds until the belt is fas-
tened. If the driver's seat belt is not
fastened when the vehicle speed
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), the seat
belt warning light and chime will
operate for approximately 10 times
with a pattern of 6 seconds on and
24 seconds off until the belt is fas-
tened or the vehicle speed decreas-
es below 3 mph (5 km/h).
WARNING
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.
When you fasten the seat belt, be careful not to latch the seat
belt in buckles of other seat. It's
very dangerous and you may
not be protected by the seat
belt properly.
Do not unfasten and fasten the seat belt repeatedly while driv-
ing. This could result in loss of
control, and an accident caus-
ing death, serious injury, or
property damage.
When fastening the seat belt, make sure that the seat belt
does not pass over objects that
are hard or can break easily.
Make sure there is nothing in the buckle. The seat belt may
not be fastened securely.

Seat belt - Driver's 3-point system
with emergency locking retractor
To fasten your seat belt:
To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of
the retractor and insert the metal tab
(1) into the buckle (2). There will be
an audible "click" when the tab locks
into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to
the proper length only after the lap
belt portion is adjusted manually so
that it fits snugly around your hips. If
you lean forward in a slow, easy
motion, the belt will extend and let
you move around. If there is a sud-
den stop or impact, however, the belt
will lock into position. It will also lock
if you try to lean forward too quickly. If you are not able to pull out the seat
belt from the retractor, firmly pull the
belt out and release it. Then you will
be able to pull the belt out smoothly.
WARNING
Failure to replace seat belts
after an accident could leave
you with damaged seat belts
that will not provide protection
in the event of another collision
leading to personal injury or
death. Replace your seat belts
as soon as possible after being
in an accident.
B200A02NF
WARNING
You should place the lap belt
portion as low as possible and
snugly across your hips, not on
your waist. If the lap belt is
located too high on your waist,
it may increase the chance of
injury in the event of a collision.
Both arms should not be under
or over the belt. Rather, one
should be over and the other
under, as shown in the illustra-
tion.
Never wear the seat belt under
the arm nearest the door.

Seat belts - Front passenger andrear seat 3-point system withcombination locking retractor
To fasten your seat belt:
Combination retractor type seat belts
are installed in the rear seat posi-
tions to help accommodate the
installation of child restraint systems.
Although a combination retractor is
also installed in the front passenger
seat position, it is strongly recom-
mended that children always be
seated in the rear seat. NEVER
place any infant restraint system in
the front seat of the vehicle.
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. To
fasten your seat belt, pull it 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 around 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 “Using a child restraint sys-
tem” in this section.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Although the combination retractor
provides the same level of protection
for seated passengers in either emer-
gency or automatic locking modes, it
is recommended that seated passen-
gers use the emergency locking fea-
ture for improved convenience. The
automatic locking function is
intended to facilitate child restraint
installation. To convert from the
automatic locking feature to the
emergency locking operation mode,
allow the unbuckled seat belt to fully
retract.
To release the seat belt:
The seat belt is released by pressing
the release button (1) in the locking
buckle. When it is released, the belt
should automatically draw back into
the retractor.
If this does not happen, check the
belt to be sure it is not twisted, then
try again.

Shoulder belt extension guide
You can adjust the position of the
shoulder belt extension guide for
easier access to the shoulder belt.
Set the belt extension guide to the
position (1~3) when using the seat
belt.
Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre-
tensioner is to make sure that the
seat belts fit tightly against the occu-
pant's body in certain frontal colli-
sions. The pre-tensioner seat belts
may be activated in certain frontal
collisions.
OFS031034OED030300
WARNING
Verify the shoulder belt exten-
sion guide is locked into posi-
tion at the appropriate height.
Never position the shoulder
belt across your neck or face.
Improperly positioned seat
belts can cause serious
injuries in an accident.
Failure to replace seat belts after an accident could leave
you with damaged seat belts
that will not provide protec-
tion in the event of another
collision leading to personal
injury or death. Replace your
seat belts after being in an
accident as soon as possible.
