WARNING - Drivers
Never adjust the driver’s seat
or seatback when the vehicle
is moving. Doing so could
cause loss of control, and
serious personal injury or
death.
Do not allow packages or
other objects to interfere with
the normal position of a
seatback. These objects may
prevent the seatback from
locking, which could result in
serious injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or
collision.
Always drive and ride with
your seatback upright and
the lap portion of the safety
belt snug and low across the
hips.
Children can be killed or
injured by the passenger air
bag. The back seat is the
safest place for children 12
and under. Make sure all
children use seat belts or
child seats.

ADJUSTING THE FRONT
SEATBACK RECLINERTo recline the seatback;
1. Lean forward slightly and lift up on
the seatback recline lever located on
the outside of the seat, toward the rear.
2. Lean back on the seat and adjust the

CAUTION
Do not place anything under the
front seats. Loose objects might
interfere with the seat slide
mechanism or possibly roll out
from under the seat and interfere
with the operation of the brake,
clutch or accelerator foot pedals.
WARNING - Passengers
To reduce the risk of sliding
under the lap portion of the
lap/shoulder belt, and potentially
suffering serious personal injury
or death in the event of a
collision, do not use the front
seatback in a reclined position
while the vehicle is in motion. If a
seat is reclined, the occupant’s
hip could slide under or out of
the lap portion of the
lap/shoulder belt during a
collision. If that occurs, the
occupant may no longer be
properly restrained, and the
safety belt could apply restraint
forces to the unprotected
abdomen resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
Therefore, keep the seatbacks in
a comfortably upright position
whenever the vehicle is in
motion.

serious injury, or property
damage.

protection during its deploy-
ment in case of an accidents.

WARNING
To minimize the risk of personal
injury in the event of a collision
or a sudden stop, both the
driver's and passenger's
seatback should remain in an
upright position while the car is
in motion. The protection
provided by the seat belts and
airbags may be reduced signifi-
cantly when the seatbacks are
reclined. There is a greater risk
that the seat occupants will
slide under the belt resulting in
serious injury if a crash occurs
when the seat-backs are
reclined. The seat belt cannot
provide full protection to an
occupant if the seat back is
reclined.

safety belt webbing through the
rear safety belt guides will help
keep the belts from being trapped
behind or under the seats.

3-22SAFETY BELTSPRE-TENSIONER SEAT
BELTYour 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 occupant’s body in certain
frontal collisions.The pre-tensioner seat belts can be
activated alone or, with the airbag, where
the frontal collision is severe enough.
The pre-tensioner seat belt operates in
the same way as an Emergency Locking
Retractor (ELR) type of seat belt. When
the vehicle stops suddenly, or if the
occupant tries to lean forward too
quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock
into position. However, in certain frontal
collisions, the pretensioner will activate
and pull the seat belt into tighter contact
against the occupant’s body.The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following
components.
Their locations are shown in the
illustration.
1. SRS airbag warning light.
2. Seatbelt pre-tensioner assembly.
3. SRS control module.
