Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect you and your passengers in an accident. Seat belts are the most important safetydevice. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or death in various types of crashes. For added protec-tion during a severe frontal collision, your vehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen-
gers. The seats, head restraints, and door locks also are safety equipment, which must be used correctly. Always check the following before you drive: That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt.  That infants and small children are prop- erly secured in appropriate child restraintsystems in the rear seat.  That all doors are full
y closed and locked.
 That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.

 To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or death during deployment of the driver’s airbag, always properly wear the seat belt and adjust th
e driver’s seat as far
back as possible while maintaining a posi-tion that still enables
you to fully apply the

WA R N I N G Persons who are unable to feel tempera- ture change or skin pain due to age, ill- ness, injury, medication, alcohol use,fatigue or other physical conditions or who have sensitive skin may suffer burns when using the heated seat even at lowtemperatures. To reduce the risk of burns, people with such conditions must use care when using the heated seat.CAUTION Switch off the seat heaters when not in use. Operate the heaters at high for quick heating. After the seat has become warm, set theheater to low to keep it warm. Slight varia- tions in the seat temperature may be felt while using the heated seats. This is causedby the operation of the heater’s internal ther- mostat and does not indicate a malfunction. Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins, needles, or other pointed objectsinto the seat. Do not place a blanket,
cushion, or other
insulating material on the seat while using the heater; doing so can cause the heater ele- ment to overheat.
 When cleaning the seat, do not use benzine, kerosene, gasoline, alcohol, or other organic solvents; doing so can cause damage not only to the surface of the seat, but also to the heater. If water or any other
liquid is spilled on the
seat, allow it to dry thoroughly beforeattempting to use the heater. Turn the heater off immediately if it appears to be malfunc- tioning during use.

Padded head restraints for the seats can reduce the risk of a whiplash injury if yourvehicle is hit from the rear. The head restraints are equipped in the illus- trated position.To maximize the effectiveness of your headrestraint, adjust the head restraint to the proper position. For the driver and front pas- senger, adjust the seatbacks to the uprightposition before adjusting the head restraints. Sit back against the seatback with your head close to the head restraint.
WA R N I N G Do not allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment while the vehicle is in motion. People who are not properlyseated and restrained can be seriously injured or killed in an accident. After returning the rear seatbacks to their upright positions, make sure that the seat- backs lock in place and are firmly secured.Also check to be sure that the rear seat belts are in front of the seatbacks, and not caught behind the seatbacks.CAUTION In the cargo area, do not load the luggage higher than the top of the seats and make sure that the luggage is firmly secured.Restricted rear vision or flying objects enter- ing the passenger compartment during sud- den braking can result in a serious accidentand injury.
NOTE
 If the seatbacks are returned using too much force, this may cause the center seat belt to lock up. If the seat belt locks up, pull the seat belt once with force and let it retract all the way.

1. Occupants should always sit back in their seats with their backs against the upright seatback. To reduce the risk of seriousinjury or death during deployment of theairbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintaining a position that still enables you to fully apply thepedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely operate the vehicle. The front passenger seat should also be moved asfar back as possible. Refer to “Supple- mental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 4-22. Also refer to “To adjust theseat forward or backward” on page 4-3.
2. Grasp the latch plate and slide it up the webbing so that it easily pulls across yourbody.
3. Pull the seat belt out slowly while holding the latch plate. Push the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click”. Pull up on the belt to be sure the latch plate islocked securely in the buckle.
NOTE
 For instructions on installing a child restraint system using a seat belt, refer to “Installing a child restraint system using the seat belt” on page 4-19.
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident or sud- den stop, all seatbacks should be kept in the upright position while the vehicle is in motion.Seat belt performance during an accident can be adversely affected if the seatbacks are reclined. The more a seatback isreclined, the more likely seat belt perfor- mance will be adversely affected. If the seat belt is not properly positioned againstthe body during an accident, there is increased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious injury or death.
NOTE
 If the seat belt locks up and cannot be pulled out, pull it once with force and let it retractall the way. Then, pull the belt out slowly once again.

WA R N I N G Your vehicle is also equipped with a front passenger airbag. Never put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas-senger seat. This places the infant too close to the passenger airbag. During deployment of the airbag, the infant canbe seriously injured or killed. Rear-facing child restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be used in the rear seat.Airbag
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seat whenever possible. If they must be used in the front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward position and make surethe child stays in the child restraint sys- tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in seriousinjury or death to the child.WA R N I N G It is important to use an approved rear- facing infant restraint until the infant isone year old (unless the infant outgrows the seat sooner). This allows the infant’s neck and spine to develop enough to sup-port the weight of their head in the event of an accident.
 When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and follow the directions in this manual. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death to your child in anaccident or sudden stop.  After installation, push and pull the child restraint system back
and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is firmly secured. If the child restraint system is not installedsecurely, it may cause injury to the child or other occupants in the event of an acci- dent or sudden stop.  When not in use, keep your child restraint system secured with the seat belt, orremove it from the vehicle, in order to pre- vent it from being thrown around inside the vehicle during an accident.
