Height adjustment (front seat)
You can adjust the height of the shoul- der belt anchor to one of 4 positions
for maximum comfort and safety. The height of the adjusting seat belt
should not be too near your neck. The
shoulder portion should be adjusted

midway over your shoulder nearest
the door and not your neck.
To adjust the height of the seat belt
anchor, lower or raise the height
adjuster into an appropriate position. To raise the height adjuster, pull it up
(1). To lower it, push it down (3) while
pressing the height adjuster button (2).
Release the button to lock the anchor
into position. Try sliding the height
adjuster to make sure that it has
locked into position.

Failure to replace seat belts after an accident could leave
you with damaged seat belts
that will not provide protec-

collision leading to personal
injury or death. Replace yourseat belts after being in an
accident as soon as possible.

To release the seat belt:
When you want to release the seat
belt, press the button (1) in the lock-
ing buckle. Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and front passenger's pre-tensioner
seat belts. The pre-tensioner seat
belts can be activated, where thefrontal collision is se
vere enough,
together with the air bags.
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or
if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock into position. In certain frontal
collisions, the pre-tensioner will acti-
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body. Retractor Pretensioner
The purpose of the retractor pre-tensioner is to make sure that theshoulder belts fit in tightly againstthe occupant's upper body in cer-
tain frontal collisions.
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver or passenger'sseat belt when the pre-tensioner sys-
tem activates, the load limiter inside
the retractor pre-tensioner willrelease some of the pressure on the
affected seat belt.

The center lap belt latching
mechanism is different from
those for the rear seat shoulder
belts. When fastening the rearseat shoulder belts or the cen-
ter lap belt, make sure they are
inserted into the correct buck-
les to obtain maximum protec-
tion from the seat belt system
and assure proper operation.

Safety features of your vehicle
The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
✽✽NOTICE
 Both the driver's and front pas- senger's pre-tensioner seat belts
may be activated in certain frontal
collisions.
 When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may
appear to be smoke, may be visible
in the passenger compartment.
These are normal operating condi-
tions and are not hazardous.
 Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-tensioner
seat belts were activated.
 Because the sensor that activates the SRS air bag is connected with
the pre-tensioner seat belt, the
SRS air bag warning light on
the instrument panel will illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds
after the Engine Start/Stop button
has been turned to the ON posi-
tion, and then it should turn off.WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit
from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn correctly and adjusted to the
proper position. Please read

information and precautions
about your vehicle’s occupant
safety features – including
seat belts and air bags – that
are provided in this manual.
2. Be sure you and your passen- gers always wear seat belts

Seat belt precautionsInfant or small child
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and/or infant seats must be properlyplaced and installed in the rear seat.
For more information about the use
of these restraints, refer to “Child
restraint system” in this section.
✽✽
NOTICE
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when
properly 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 certify-
ing that it meets Safety Standards of
your country. The restraint must be
appropriate for your child's height
and weight. Check the label on the
child restraint for this information.
Refer to “Child restraint system” in
this section.
WARNING
All occupants of the vehicle
must wear their seat belts at all
times. Seat belts and childrestraints reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries for all
occupants in the event of a col-
lision or sudden stop. Without a
seat belt, occupants could be
shifted too close to a deploying
air bag, strike the interior struc-
ture or be thrown from the vehi-
cle. Properly worn seat belts
greatly reduce these hazards.
Always follow the precautions
about seat belts, air bags andoccupant seating contained in
this manual.
WARNING
Every person in your vehicle
needs to be properly restrained
at all times, including infants
and children. Never hold a child
in your arms or lap when riding

the child from your arms and
throw the child against the inte-
rior. Always use a child restraint
appropriate for your child'sheight and weight.

Safety features of your vehicle
Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always
occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap/shoulder belts. The lap
portion should be fastened and
snugged on the hips and as low as
possible. Check periodically if belt
fits. A child's squirming could put the
belt out of position. Children are given
the most safety in the event of an
accident when they are restrained by
a proper restraint system in the rear
seat. If a larger child (over age 12)
must be seated in the front seat, the
child should be securely restrained
by the available lap/shoulder belt andthe seat should be placed in the rear-
most position. Children age 12 and
under should be restrained securely
in the rear seat. NEVER place a childage 12 and under in the front seat.
NEVER place a rear facing child seat
in the front seat of a vehicle.If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, tryplacing the child closer to the center of
the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck they need to
be returned to a child restraint system.

lap/shoulder belt assemblies when-
ever possible according to specific
recommendations by their doctors.

dren, there is a risk of death or
