Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
When the seatback is reclined, the
shoulder belt cannot do its job
because it will not be snug against
your chest. Instead, it will be in front
of you. During an accident, you could
be thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt.

enough of the seat belt out from
the retractor, firmly pull the seat
belt out and release it. After

Height adjustment
You can adjust the height of the

adjusted so it lies across your chest
and midway over your shoulder near-
est the door, not over your neck.
NOTICE

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.
This allows your strong pelvic
bones to absorb the force of
the crash, reducing the
chance of internal injuries. (Continued)

shoulder belt and the other over
the belt, as shown in the illus-
tration.
Always position the shoulder
belt anchor into the locked
position at the appropriate
height.

Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have Child Restraint
System laws which require children to
travel in approved Child Restraint
System devices, including booster
seats. The age at which seat belts can
be used instead of Child Restraint
System differs among countries, so
you should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country, and
where you are travelling. Infant and
Child Restraint System must be prop-
erly placed and installed in a rear seat.
For more information refer to the “Child
Restraint Systems” in this chapter.Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat by a
Child Restraint System that meets the
requirements of the Safety Standards
of your country. Before buying any
Child Restraint System, make sure
that it has a label certifying that it
meets Safety Standard of your coun-
try. The Child Restraint System must
be appropriate for your child's height
and weight. Check the label on the
Child Restraint System for this informa-
tion. Refer to “Child Restraint Systems”
in this chapter.
ALWAYS properly restrain infants
and small children in a Child
Restraint System appropriate for
the child’s height and weight.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death to a child and
other passengers, NEVER hold a
child in your lap or arms when
the vehicle is moving. The violent
forces created during an acci-
dent will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against
the interior of the vehicle.
