Adjustment of the heightAdjust the head restraint height so that the
centre of the restraint is as close as pos-
sible to eye level to reduce the chance of
injury in the event of collision. Any per-
son too tall for the restraint to reach their
seated eye level, should adjust the restraint
as high as possible.
To raise the head restraint, move it upward.
To lower the restraint, move it downward
while pushing the height adjusting knob (A)
in the direction of the arrow. After adjust-
ment, push the head restraint downward
and make sure that it is locked.

Confirm that the height adjusting knobs (A)
are correctly adjusted as shown in the illus-
tration, and also lift the head restraints to

WARNING
It is dangerous to drive with incor-
rectly adjusted head restraints or
without head restraints installed;
always have them correctly fitted
when using the vehicle. Failure to do
so could cause serious injury if
involved in an accident.
G26B033A
CAUTION
The head restraints for the seats dif-
fer in shape and size. When install-
ing head restraints, make sure the
head restraints are fitted in their
respective seats.
Seat belts
EG28ABMa
To protect you and your passengers in the
event of an accident, it is most important
that the seat belts are worn correctly when
you drive.
The front seat belts have pre-tensioners.
These belts are used the same way as
conventional seat belts.
Refer to“Pre-tensioner seat belt system”on
page 3-56.
WARNING
(1) Never wear the shoulder por-
tion of the seat belt under the
arm or other position which is
incorrect.
(2) One seat belt should be used by
only one person. Doing other-
wise can be dangerous.
(3) The seat belt will provide its
wearer with maximum protec-
tion if the recliner seatback is
placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined,
there is greater risk that the pas-
senger will slide under the belt,
especially in a forward impact
accident, and may be injured by
the belt or by striking the instru-
ment panel or seatbacks.

WARNING
(4) Seat belts should always be
worn by every adult who drives
or rides in this vehicle, and by all
children who are large enough
to wear seat belts properly.
(5) Remove any twists when using
the belt.
(6) No modifications or additions
should be made by the user
which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from oper-
ating to remove slack, or pre-
vent the seat belt assembly from
being adjusted to remove slack.
(7) To reduce risk of serious or fatal
injury in an accident, including
from a deploying driver air bag,
the driver should adjust the driv-
er’s seat to the most rear posi-
tion that still allows good
visibility and good control of the
steering wheel, the brake and
accelerator, and vehicle con-
trols.
G28A089A
WARNING
(8) Never hold a child in your arms
or on your lap when riding in
this vehicle even if you are wear-
ing your seat belt. To do so risks
severe or fatal injury to the child
in a collision or sudden stop.
(9) Always adjust the belt to a snug
fit.3-point type seat belt (with emer-
gency locking mechanism)This type of belt requires no length adjust-
ment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to
the movement of the wearer, but in the
event of a sudden or strong shock, the belt
automatically locks to hold the wearer’s
body.
G28A050A
To fasten
Pull the seat belt out slowly while holding
the latch plate.
NOTE
When the seat belts cannot be pulled out
in a locked condition, pull the belts once
forcefully and then return them. After that,
pull the belts out slowly once again.
Insert the latch plate into the buckle until a
“click”is heard.
CAUTION
(1) Never wear the lap portion of the
belt across your abdomen. Dur-
ing accidents it can press
sharply against your abdomen
and increase the risk of injury.
(2) The seat belts must not be
twisted when worn.
Pull the belt slightly to adjust looseness as
desired.

Child restraint
EG20A-Ea
When transporting children in your vehicle,
some type of child restraint system should
always be used according to the size of the
child.
This is required by law in most countries.
The regulations concerning driving with chil-
dren in the front seat may differ from coun-
try to country. You are advised to comply
with the relevant regulations.
WARNING
(1) When possible, put children in
the rear seat. Accident statis-
tics indicate that children of all
sizes and ages are safer when
properly restrained in the rear
seat rather than in the front seat.
(2) Holding a child in your arms is
no substitute for a restraint sys-
tem. Failure to use a proper
restraint system can result in
severe or fatal injury to your
child.
(3) Each restraint device or fixing is
to be used only by one child.

Caution for installing the child
restraint on vehicle with front pas-
senger air bagThe label shown here is attached on
vehicles with front passenger air bag.
If this label is attached, never install the
rear-facing child restraint on the front pas-
senger’s seat.
G28G 436A
WARNING
(1) Extreme Hazard!
REAR-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINTS must NOT be used
in the front passenger seat as it
places an infant too close to the
passenger air bag. The force of
an inflating air bag could kill or
cause serious injuries to the
child. Rear-facing child restraints
must only be used in the rear
seat (3-door models)/second
seat (5-door models).
G28G 439A
WARNING
(2) FRONT-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINTS should be used in
the rear seat (3-door models)/
second seat (5-door models)
whenever possible; if used in the
front seat, adjust the seat to the
fully backward position.

Infants and small children
EG20B-Ba
When transporting infants and small chil-
dren in your vehicle, follow the instruction
given below.
Instruction:
(1) For small infants, an infant carrier
should be used. For small children
whose height when seated allows the
shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should
be used.
(2) The child restraint system should be
appropriate for your child’s weight and
height and properly fit the vehicle. For
a higher degree of safety: THE CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM SHOULD BE
INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT.(3) Before purchasing a child seat or infant
carrier, first try to install it in the rear
seat to ensure it fits well. Due to the
location of the seat belt buckles in the
seat cushion, it may be difficult to
securely install some child restraint sys-
tems.
If the child restraint system can be
pulled forward easily on the seat cush-
ion after the belt has been tightened,
choose another child restraint sys-
tem.
WARNING
(1) When installing a child restraint
system, refer to the instruc-
tions provided by the manufac-
turer of the restraint system.
Failure to do so can result in
severe or fatal injury to your
child.
(2) After installation, push and pull
the child restraint system back
and forth, and side to side, to
see that it is positively secured.
If the child restraint system is
not installed securely, it may
cause injury to the child or other
occupants in case of accident or
sudden stops.
(3) When the child restraint sys-
tem is not in use, keep your
child or infant seat secured with
the seat belt or remove it from
the vehicle in order to prevent
injury to your child.
