1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk
■Closing the front doors from outside with the inside lock button set in the locked
position
The door cannot be locked if the engine switch is in “ACC” or “IG-ON” mode, or
the e
lectronic key is left in the vehicle. (However, depending on the key's location,
the system may not be able to detect it. In these instances the door lock protection
function will not operate properly.)
■Using the mechanical key
The doors can also be locked and unlocked with the mechanical key. ( P.
4 8 6 )
■Customization
Settings (e.g. unlocking function using a key) can be changed. (P. 5 2 3 )
CAUTION
■To prevent an accident
Observe the following precautions while driving the vehicle. 
Failing to do so may result in a door opening and an occupant falling out, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Always use a seat belt.
●Always lock all doors.
●Ensure that all doors are properly closed.
●Do not pull the inside handle of the front door while driving.
●Set the rear door child protector locks when children are seated in the rear seat.

CAUTION
■Reclining adjustment
Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion, to
reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt.
If the seat is too reclined during an accide nt, the lap belt may slide past the hips and
apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the shoul-
der belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury.
■When adjusting the front passenger’s seat from the driver’s seat
Wait until a passenger is seated or have go tten off the front passenger’s seat before
operating the switch to avoid injuring the passenger.

, but does not come
into contact with the neck or
slide off the shoulder.
Position the lap belt as low as
possible over the hips.
Adjust the position of the
seatback. Sit up straight and

1-3. Adjustable components
Seat belt comfort guide (outboard rear seats)
If the shoulder belt fits close to a
person’s neck, slide the seat belt
comfort guide forward.
Seat belt pretensioners (front and outboard rear seats)
The pretensioner helps the seat
belt to quickly restrain the occu -
pant by retracting the seat belt
when the v

ehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal colli -
sion.
The pretensioner may not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a side impact or a rear
impact.
■ Adjusting the height of the belt (front seats)
Up
Down
Move the height adjuster up and
down as needed until you hear a
click.

Before driving
Pre-collision seat belts (front seats of vehicles with pre-collision system)
When the pre-collision sensor detects an obstacle and determines that a
collision is unavoidable, the seat belt s lessen collision injury by retracting
the slack in the front seat belts befo re the collision, thus restraining the
driver and passenger at an earlier stage. 
The seat belts will also operate in the event of sudden braking. ( P. 1 6 5 )
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudd en
stop or on impact. It may also lock if
you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and
you can move around fully.
■Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger's shoulder bel
t is completely extended and then retracted even
slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This feature is
used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, fully
retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more. ( P. 8 0 )
■Pregnant women
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt
in the proper way. ( P. 3 3 )
Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the hips in
the same manner as other occupants. Extend
the shoulder belt completely over the shoul-
der and position the belt across the chest.
Avoid belt contact over the rounding of the
abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only a
pregnant woman, but also the fetus could suf-
fer death or serious injury as a result of sud-
den braking or a collision.
