Seat belts work for everyone, including preg- nant women. Like a
ll occupants, pregnant
women are more likely to be seriously injuredor killed in an accident if they do not wear seat belts.
N00417701710
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats each have a seat belt
equipped with a pre-tensioner
system and force limiter system.
Seat belt extender
WA R N I N G The extender should only be used if the existing belt is not long enough. Anyone who can use the standard seat belt shouldnot use an extender. Unnecessary use of an extender can adversel
y affect seat belt
performance in an accident. When not required, the extender must be removed and stowed.
Seat belt use during preg- nancy
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to pregnant women and unborn children in an accident, pregnant womenshould always wear
a seat belt. The lap
portion of the seat belt should be worn snug and low across the hips and belowthe rounding. Consult your doctor if you have any additional qu
estions or concerns.

The driver and front pa
ssenger seat belts are
equipped with a seat belt pre-tensioner sys- tem. In a moderate-to-severe frontal or sidecollision or when a rollover or overturning of the vehicle is detected, the pre-tensioner sys- tem operates simultaneous
ly with the deploy-
ment of the front airb
ags, side airbags or
curtain airbags. The seat belt pre-tensi
oners are located in the
driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt retrac- tors (A) and in the front
passenger se
at’s final
anchor (B). When activated, the pre-tension- ers quickly draw back seat belt webbing and increase seat belt performance. The seat belt pre-tens
ioner system includes
the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following conditions. These includeall of the items listed
above and all related
wiring. [Except for vehicles
equipped with the
F. A . S . T. - k e y ] The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] The operation mode is in ON.
The seat belt pre-tens
ioners will operate
under the same conditions
as the airbag con-
trol unit. When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate, some smoke is released
and a loud noise will
be heard. The smoke is
not harmful, but care
should be taken not to in
tentionally inhale it,
as it may cause some
temporary irritation to
people with respiratory problems.Even in the event of a severe impact, the pre- tensioners will
not operate if the seat belts are
not fastened. The seat be
lt pre-tensioners may
not activate in certai
n collisions, even though
the vehicle may appear
to be severely dam-
aged. Such non-activation does not mean that something is wrong with
the seat belt pre-ten-
sioner system, but rather that the collisionforces were not severe
enough to activate the
system.

When transporting infants or small children in your vehicle, an appr
opriate child restraint
system must always be
used. This is required
by law in the U.S. and Canada. Child restraint systems specifically designedfor infants and small children are offered by several manufacturers. Choose only a child restraint system with a label certifying that itcomplies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and
Booster Seats Safety
Regulations (RSSR).
Look for the manufac-
turer’s statement of compliance on the box and child restraint system itself.
The child restraint system should be appropri- ate for your child’s we
ight and height, and
should properly fit your vehicle’s seat. For detailed information,
refer to the instruc-
tion manual accompanying the child restraintsystem. All children should be properly restrained in a restraint device that offers the maximumprotection for their size and age. Be sure to check local,
state, or provincial
requirements for child size and age that mayvary from the recommendations listed below.  Children less than 1 year old and who weigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUST ride in a rear-facing child safety seat thatMUST ONLY be used in the second row seat.  Children older than 1 year of age and who weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who are less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall must be in a forward-facing restraint used onlyin the rear seat.
 Children who weigh more than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who are more than 40 inches(100 cm) tall, regardless of age, should use a suitable child seat or a booster seat in the rear seat until the vehicle’s lap-and-shoulder belt fits
them properly.

Guidelines for child restraint system selection
WA R N I N G All children must be seated in the rear seat, and properly restrained.Accident statistics
show that children of
all sizes and ages are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat, rather than inthe front seat. Be sure to select a child restraint system that is appropriate not only for the child’s size and age but also for your vehicle. Some child restraint systems may not fityour vehicle properly.

 Any child who is too large to use a child restraint system should ride in the rearseat and wear the la
p-and-shoulder belt
properly. The shoulder belt must be posi- tioned over the shou
lder and across the
chest, not across their neck, and with thelap belt positioned low on the child’s hips, not across their stomach. If necessary, a booster seat should be
used to help achieve
a proper seat belt fi
t. Follow the booster
seat manufacturer’s instructions. Only use a booster seat that is
certified as comply-
ing with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Sys- tems and Booster Seats Safety Regula-tions. WA R N I N G
WA R N I N G Never hold an infant
or child in your arms
or on your lap when ri
ding in this vehicle,
even when you are wearing your seat belt.Never place any part of the seat belt you are wearing around an
infant or child.
Failure to follow these simple instructionscreates a risk of serious injury or death to your child in the even
t of an accident or
sudden stop.
WA R N I N G Your vehicle is also equipped with a front passenger’s airbag.Never put REAR-FACING CHILDRESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas- senger seat. This places the infant tooclose to the passenger’s airbag. During deployment of that airbag, the infant can be seriously injured
or killed.
Rear-facing
child restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be used in the rear seat.Airbag

NOTE
 In order to secure a child restraint system compatible with the LATCH system, use thelower anchor points in the outboard positions of the second row seat. It is not necessary to use the vehicle’s seat
belt. The vehicle’s seat
belt, however, MUST be
used to secure a
child restraint system in the middle seating position of the second row seat.WA R N I N G If there is any foreign material in or around the lower an
chors, remove it
before installing the child restraint sys- tem. Also, make sure the seat belt is awayfrom, not looped through or otherwise interfering with, the child restraint sys- tem. If foreign matter is not removedand/or the seat belt
interferes with the
child restraint system, the child restraint system will not be secured properly, coulddetach and move forw
ard in the event of
sudden braking or an
accident, and could
result in injury to the child or other vehi-cle occupants. When the vehicle is
moving, do not adjust
the seat where the child restraint system isinstalled.
NOTE
 If it is difficult to
latch the tether strap hook,
turn the hook sideways.WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to with
stand loads from cor-
rectly fitted child restraint systems. Underno circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, for attaching other items, or equipment to the vehicle.

With the exception of the driver, the seat belt in all other seating pos
itions can be converted
from normal Emergency Locking Retractor(ELR) mode, to Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode. This mean
s that when you pull
the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retractor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function.
Always use the ALR
child restraint instal
lation function when you
install a child restraint system using the seat belt.Children 12 years old and under should always be restrained in the rear seat, when- ever possible, although
the front passenger
seat belt can also be
converted to ALR mode.
1. Place the child restraint system on the seat where you wish to install it. To help assure proper fitting of the child restraint system, alwa
ys remove the head
restraint. When installing the front-facing child restraint system on
the second row seat,
adjust the angle of the second row seat- back to the most upright position. 2. Route the seat belt through the childrestraint system acco
rding to the instruc-
tions provided by the child restraint sys- tem’s manufacturer. Then insert the seatbelt latch plate into
the buckle. Make sure
you hear a “click” when you insert the latch plate into the buckle.
3. To activate the ALR child restraint instal- lation function, slow
ly pull the shoulder
part of the belt all the way out of the retractor until it stops. Then let the belt feed back into the retractor. 4. After the belt has retracted, tug on it.
