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.

Seat Warmer Burns
Passengers should pay extreme caution while using seat warm-
ers due to the possibility of
excess heating or burns. The
seat warmer may cause burns
even at low temperatures, espe-
cially when it is used for a long
period of time. In particular, the
driver must exercise extreme
care for the below passengers:
1.Infants, children, elderly or handicapped persons, or hos- pital outpatients
2.Persons with sensitive skin or those that burn easily
3.Fatigued individuals
4.Intoxicated individuals
5.Individuals taking medication that can cause drowsiness or sleepiness (sleeping pills,
cold tablets, etc.)

SS EE AA TT BB EELLTT SS
For maximum restraint pro-
tection, the seat belts must
always be fastened whenever
the vehicle is in motion.
Seat belts are the most effec-
tive when seatbacks are in theupright position.
Children at the age of 12 and
under must always be proper-
ly restrained in rear seats.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger's seat.
When a child at the age of 13
and over sits in the front pas-
senger's seat, he/she must be
properly fastened, and theseat should be positioned inthe rearmost position. (Continued)
WARNING

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.

Pregnant women/child
The use of a seat belt is recom-
mended for pregnant women/child to
reduce the risk of injury in an acci-
dent. The lap belt should be fastened
as low and snugly as possible across
the hips, not across the abdomen.
For specific recommendations, con-
sult a physician.
Pre-tensioner seat belt (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with driver'sand front passenger's pre-tensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre-
tensioner is to make sure that theseat belts tightly fits against the
occupant's body in certain frontal
collisions. The pre-tensioner seat
belt is activated in a crash where the
frontal colliding impact is severeenough. When the vehicle suddenly stops, or
when the occupant lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock in position. In a certain frontalcollision, the pre-tensioner will acti-
vate and slightly retract the seat belt
to tightly restrain the occupant's
body.
When the system detects excessive
tension on the driver's or the frontpassenger's seat belt, the load lim-iter inside the pre-tensioner releases
some pressure on the affected seat
belt. (if equipped)
OEU034037
For your safety, make sure that the belt webbing is not loose or
twisted and always sit properly
on your seat.

Seat belt precautionsLarger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always sit in
a rear seat and use the available
lap/shoulder belts. The lap belt
should be fastened as low and snug-
gly as possible across the hips.
Frequently check the belt tightness.
A child's squirming may move the
belt out of position. Children are
afforded the most safety in the event
of an accident when they are
restrained by a proper restraint sys-
tem in a rear seat. When a large child
(at the age of 13 and over) must beseated in the front seat, the child
should be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt, and theseat should be placed in the rear-
most position. Children at the age of
12 and under should be restrained
securely in a rear seat. NEVER placea child at the age of 12 and under ina front seat.
NEVER place a rear facing child seat
in the front seat of a vehicle.When the shoulder belt is fastened
slightly across the child's neck or
face, move the child closer to the
center of the vehicle. When the
shoulder belt is still fastened slightly
across their face or neck, they need
to be returned to a child restraint sys-tem.
All occupants of the vehicle
must and always fasten their
seat belts. Seat belts and childrestraints reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injury in the
event of a collision or sudden
stop. Without a seat belt, occu-
pants may slide too close to a
deploying air bag, strike the
interior structure or be thrown
out of the vehicle. Properly
worn seat belts greatly reduce
these hazards.
Always follow the precautions
of this manual, about seat belts,
air bags and occupant seats.
WARNING
Shoulder belts on small chil- dren
Never fasten a shoulder even
slightly across a child's neck
or face, when the vehicle is inmotion.
When seat belts are improper-
ly fastened over children,there is a risk of death or seri-
ous injury.

Pregnant women
The use of a seat belt is recom-
mended for pregnant women to
lessen the chance of injury in an
accident. When a seat belt is used,
the lap belt portion should be placed
as low and snugly as possible on the
hips, not across the abdomen. For
specific recommendations, consult a
physician.
Injured person
A seat belt should be fastened when
an injured person is transported.
When this is necessary, you should
consult a physician for recommenda-
tions.
One person per belt
Two people (including children)
should never be fastened by a single
seat belt. This may increase the
severity of injury in case of an acci-dent.
Do not lie down
To reduce the risk of injury in the
event of an accident and to guaran-
tee the maximum restraining effects,all passengers should sit in an
upright position when the vehicle is
in motion. A seat belt cannot provideproper protection, when the person
lies down in a rear seat or sit in areclined position in a front seat.
Pregnant women
Pregnant women must never
fasten the lap belt across the
abdomen area where they have
a baby. The belt may imply a
strong impact on their abdomenin an accident.
WARNING
Riding in a reclined seat
increases your risk of serious
or fatal injury in the event of a
collision or a sudden stop.
The protection of your restraint
system (seat belts and air bags)
is greatly compromised, when
your seat is reclined. Seat belts
must be snugly fastened across
your hips and chest to properly
operate. The more the seatback
is reclined, the more likely anoccupant will slide under the
lap belt, getting serious internal
injury. Or, the shoulder belt may
apply a strong impact on an
occupant's neck. Drivers and
passengers should always sit
well back in their seats, proper-
ly belted, and in an upright posi-tion.

Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they make
a loud noise, leaving smoke and
powder inside the vehicle. This is
normal and is a result of the ignition
of the air bag inflator.
After the air bag inflates, you may
feel substantial discomfort in breath-
ing due to the contact of your chestwith both the seat belt and the air
bag, as well as due to the inhaled
smoke and powder.Immediately
open the doors/windows after the
inflation of the air bag in order to
reduce discomfort and prevent a
prolonged exposure to the smoke
and powder.
Though the smoke and powder are
non-toxic, they may cause skin irrita-
tion (for eyes, nose and throat, etc).
In this case, immediately wash the
irritated area with cold water. Consult
a doctor, if the symptom persists.
Do not install a child restraint
on the front passenger seat
When the air bags deploy, the
air bag components inside thesteering wheel and/or the
instrument cluster become
extremely hot. To prevent injury,
do not touch the air bag compo-
nents, immediately after an air
bag inflates.
