You will read many safety precautions and recommendations throughout
this chapter, and throughout this man-
ual. The safety precautions in this chapter are among the most impor-tant.
Always wear your seat belt
A seatbelt is the best protection in all
types of accidents. An air bag isdesigned to supplement a seatbelt,
not replace it. So even though your
vehicle is equipped with air bag,
ALWAYS make sure you and your
passengers wear seatbelts in a prop-
er manner.
Restrain all children
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in
a rear seat, not the front seat. Infantsand small children should be
restrained in an appropriate child
restraint. Larger children should usea booster seat with the lap/shoulder
belt until they can use the seat belt
properly without a booster seat. ❇
The age requirements about the
child detrainment differ in each
country.
Air bag hazards
While air bags can save lives, they
can also cause serious or fatal
injuries to passengers, who sit tooclose to them, or who are not prop-
erly restrained. Infants, young chil-dren, and small adults are at the
greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating air bag. Follow all instruc-
tions and warnings in this manual.
Driver's distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious
and potentially deadly danger, espe-
cially for inexperienced drivers. Safety
should be the first concern, while driv-
ing. 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 offthe road or their hands off the wheel,
caring for other activities to focus on
activities other than driving. To
reduce your risk of distraction and an
accident, follow the below instruc-tions:
• ALWAYS use your mobile devices (i.e., MP3 players, phones, naviga-
tion units, etc.), only when your vehi-
cle is safely parked or safelystopped.

Safety precautions
Adjust your seat, so that you can sit in
a safe, comfortable position. It plays
an important role in protecting the
driver and passengers, together withthe seat belts and air bags in an acci-dent.
Air bag
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air
bag. Sitting too close to an air bag
greatly increases the risk of injury, as
the event the air bag inflates. Move
your seat as far back as possible
from front air bags, while still main-
taining control of the vehicle.
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting the vehicle.
At all times, passengers should sit
upright and be properly restrained.
Infants and small children must be
restrained in an appropriate child
restraint system. Children who out-
grow a booster seat and adults must
fasten their seat belts.
Do not use a cushion thatreduces friction between the
seat and the passenger. The
passenger's hips may slide
under the lap portion of the seatbelt during an accident or a
sudden stop. Serious or fatal
internal injuries may resultbecause the seat belt cannot
properly operate.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
air bag, take the following pre-cautions:
•Adjust the driver’s seat in the
rearmost position, while main-
taining the ability to fully con-
trol the vehicle.
Hold the steering wheel with
both hands at the 9 o’clock
and 3 o’clock positions to
minimize the risk of injuries to
your hands and arms.
NEVER place anything or any-
one on the air bags.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
to adjust your seat belt:
NEVER use one seat belt to fasten more than one occu-pant.
Always sit in an upright posi-
tion with the lap portion of the
seat belt snug and low acrossthe hips.
NEVER allow children or small infants to ride on a pas-
senger's laps.

the front seats. Loose objects
in the driver's foot area may
interfere with the pedal opera-
tion, causing an accident. (Continued)

tive when seatbacks are in theupright position.
Children at the age of 12 and
under must always be proper-
ly restrained in rear seats.

Safety system of your vehicle
(Continued)
Never fasten the shoulder
portion of the seat belt under
your arm or behind your back.
An improperly positioned
shoulder portion of the seat
belt may cause serious
injuries in a crash. The shoul-
der portion of the seat belt
should be positioned midway
over your shoulder across
your collarbone.
Never fasten a seat belt over
fragile objects. When there is
a sudden stop or impact, the
seat belt may be damaged.
Be careful not to twist seat
belts. A twisted seat belt can-
not properly protect the pas-
senger. In a collision, it may
even cut into you. Make surethe belt webbing is straightand untwisted.
Be careful not to damage the
seat belt webbing or hard-
ware. When the seat belt web-
bing or hardware is damaged,
immediately replace it.
Seat belts are designed to be
fastened upon the bony struc-
ture of the body, and should be
worn low across the front
pelvis, chest or shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap por-
tion of the seat belt across the
abdominal area must be avoid-ed. Seat belts should be adjusted
as firmly as possible, consis-
tent with comfort, to provide the
protection for which they aredesigned.
A slack seat belt greatly reduce
the protection afforded to the
passengers. Be careful not to contaminate
the webbing with polishes, oils
and chemicals, and particularly
battery acid.
Carefully clean it with mild soap
and water.(Continued)
WARNING (Continued) The seat belt should be
replaced, when the webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated,
or damaged. It is essential to
replace the entire assembly
after a severe impact even if
damage to the assembly is not
obvious. Seat belts should notbe fastened with straps twisted.
Each belt assembly must be
fastened over only one occu-
pant; it is dangerous to fasten a
seat belt over a child, who sitson an adult's laps.

out fastening the seat belt with the
ignition switch ON, the seat belt
warning light flashes until it stops.
When the vehicle drives faster than
20km/h without fastening the seat
belt with the ignition switch is ON, the
seat belt warning chime will sound
for approximately 100 seconds.
No modifications or additions
should be made by the user,
as it may fail the seat belt
adjusting devices, or fail the
seat belt assembly from being
adjusted to remove slack to
be tightly fastened without
any slack.
When you fasten the seat belt,
be careful not to latch the seat
belt tap in the buckles of otherseats.
It is very dangerous, and you
may not be properly protected
by the seat belt.
Do not fasten or unfasten the seat belt in a repetitive man-
ner, while driving. This may
result in loss of control, and
an accident, causing death,
serious injury, or property
damage.(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
While fastening the seat belt, make sure that the seat belt is
not fastened over a hard or a
fragile object.
Make sure that there is noth-
ing in the buckle. If so, the
seat belt may not be securelyfastened.

Make the shoulder belt sure
that the anchor is locked in
position at the appropriate
height. Never fasten the
shoulder portion across your
neck or face. Improperly posi-
tioned seat belts may cause
serious injury in an accident.
Failure to replace seat belts
after an accident may leave
you with damaged seat belts
that will not provide protec-
tion in the event of another
collision, resulting in personal
injury or death. Immediately
replace your seat belts afteran accident.
WARNING B200A01NF
You should fasten the lap belt
as low as possible and snugly
across your hips, not across
your waist. When the lap belt is
located too high across your
waist, it may increase the
chance of injury in the event of
a collision. Both arms should
not be under or over the seat
belt. Rather, one should be over
and the other under, as shown
in the illustration. Never fastenthe seat belt under the arm
nearest the door.
