SEATS AND SEATBELTS
3–2
Seat adjustmentEG21A-Ud
Adjust the driver’s seat so that you are com-
fortable and that you can reach the pedals,
steering wheel, switches etc. while retaining
a clear field of vision.
WARNING
(1) If required, always adjust the
seating before the vehicle is in
motion. After adjustments are
made, ensure the seating is
locked in position by attempting
to move the seat and seatback
forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.
WARNING
(2) It is extremely dangerous to ride
in the luggage area (inside or out-
side) of a vehicle. Also, the lug-
gage area and rear seats should
never be used as a play area by
children. In a collision, people or
children riding unrestrained in
these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people or children to
ride in any area of your vehicle
that is not equipped with seats
and seat belts, and make sure
that everyone travelling in your
vehicle is in a seat and wearing a
seat belt, or in the case of a child
is strapped in a child restraint.
In the interest of their safety,
children should not be allowed to
adjust the seats.
WARNING
(3) To minimize the risk of personal in-
jury in the event of a collision or
sudden braking, the seatbacks
should always be in the almost up-
right position while the vehicle is in
motion. The protection provided
by the seat belts may be reduced
significantly when the seatback
is reclined. There is greater risk
that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in
serious injury, when the seatback
is reclined.

SEATS AND SEATBELTS
3–3
CAUTION
(1) Make sure that the seat is ad-
justed by an adult.
If it is adjusted by a child, an unex-
pected accident might occur.
(2) Do not place a cushion or the like
between your back and the seat-
back while driving. The effective-
ness of the head restraints will be
reduced in the event of an acci-
dent.
(3) When sliding or reclining the seat
rearward, pay careful attention to
the rear seat passengers.

Installing a child restraint system
to a 3-point type seat belt
(with emergency/automatic lock-
ing mechanism)
EG20D-A
The 3-point type seat belts at the seat posi-
tions above can be converted from normal
emergency locking retractor (ELR) mode to
automatic locking retractor (ALR) mode. It
must be so converted, when installing a child
restraint system.
G18C054a
Installation:
1. Place the child restraint system in the
rear seating position as shown in the
illustration.
2. Route the belt through the child re-
straint according to the child restraint
system manufacturer’s instructions,
then insert the latch plate into the
buckle.
G18C055a
3. To activate the ALR mode, slowly pull
the shoulder part of the belt all the way
out until it stops, then let the belt feed
back into the retractor.
4. After the belt has retracted, tug on it. If
the belt is locked, you will not be able
to pull it out. If you can pull the belt out,
it is not locked and you will need to re-
peat these steps.

5. After confirming that the belt is locked,
grab the shoulder part of the belt near
the buckle and pull up to remove any
slack from the lap part of the belt. Re-
member, if the lap part of the belt is not
tight, the child restraint will not be se-
cure. It may help to put weight on the
child restraint or to push on the seat-
back while pulling up on the belt.
6. Before putting the child in the restraint,
push and pull the restraint in all direc-
tions to be sure it is secure. Do this be-
fore each use.
7. To deactivate the ALR mode in order
to remove a child restraint etc., after
removing the child from the restraint,
unlatch the buckle, unroute the seat
belt, let the belt fully retract and rewind
the belt.NOTE
If the seat belt does not lock, rewind it fully,
then perform step 2 to 7 again.
WARNING
(1) Before putting the child in the re-
straint, be absolutely sure to
make the conversion of the re-
tractor from the ELR mode to the
ALR mode. By doing so, the child
restraint system is always tightly
secured to the seat by the auto-
matic lock. If the conversion to
ALR is not made, the child re-
straint system could move for-
ward in the event of sudden brak-
ing or an accident, seriously in-
juring the child or other occu-
pants.
(2) If a person wearing the seat belt
moves one’s upper body signifi-
cantly such that the belt com-
pletely unwinds, the retractor
may switch to its ALR mode and
lock, thus preventing further
movement. If this happens, the
person should switch the retrac-
tor back to its ELR mode by tak-
ing off the seat belt and fully re-
winding it. The person should
then wear the seat belt again.
G18C023a
Installing a child restraint system
to a 3–point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
EG20E–Aa

seat belt with emergency/automatic lock-
ing mechanism. If you cannot avoid instal-
ling it using another type of seat belt, follow
the instructions given below.
Installation:
1. Fasten the seat belt to secure the child
restraint system. Make sure you hear
a ”click” when you insert the latch plate
in the buckle.
2. 3–point type seat belts require no
length adjustment. Remove all slack
by using the locking clip.
3. Push and pull the child restraint in all
directions to be sure it is secure.
