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.

When the impact sensors detect an impact
of sufficient frontal or side force, an auto-
mated circuit ignites materials in the infla-
tor to generate gas and inflate the air bags.
The air bags deployment produces a sud-
den, loud noise, and releases some smoke
and powder, but these conditions are not
injurious, and do not indicate a fire in the
vehicle. People with respiratory problems
may feel some temporary irritation from
chemicals used to produce the deployment;
open the windows after air bag deploy-
ment, if safe to do so.
The air bags deflate very rapidly after
deployment, so there is little danger of
obscured vision.
The time required from the sensors detect-
ing an impact to deflation of the air bags
after deployment is shorter than a blink of
an eye.
CAUTION
Air bags are inflated at an extremely
rapid speed. In certain situations,
contact with inflating air bags can
result in light cuts, bruises, and the
like.
G28G242A
Driver’s and passenger’s front air
bag system
EG29C-D
The driver’s air bag is located under the
padded cover in the middle of the steer-
ing wheel. The front passenger air bag is
contained in the instrument panel above the
upper glove box.
The driver air bag and the front passen-
ger air bag are designed to inflate at the
same time even if the passenger seat is not
occupied.

G28L079D
Deployment of front air bagsThe front air bags ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The front air bags are designed to deploy when the vehicle suf-
fers a moderate to severe frontal impact. A typical condition is
shown in the illustration:
1- Head-on collision with a solid wall at a speed of approxi-
mately 25 km/h (16 mph) or higher
2- Moderate to severe frontal impact within the shaded area
between the arrows
The front air bags will deploy if the severity of the impact is above
the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximately 25
km/h (16 mph) collision when impacting straight into a solid wall
that does not move or deform. If the severity of the impact is below
the above threshold level, the front air bags may not deploy. How-
ever, this threshold speed will be considerably higher if the vehicle
strikes an object that absorbs the impact by either deforming ormoving (for example, another stationary vehicle, pole or a guard
rail).
Because frontal collisions can easily move you out of position, it
is important to always properly wear your seat belts. Your seat
belts will help you to keep safe distance from the steering wheel
and instrument panel during the initial stages of air bag deploy-
ment. The initial stage of air bag inflation is the most forceful, and
can possibly cause serious or fatal injuries. Moreover, the seat
belts in your vehicle are your primary means of protection in a col-
lision. The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) air bags are
designed to provide additional protection. Therefore, for your safety
and the safety of all occupants, be sure to always properly wear
your seat belts.

G28L080D
The front air bags MAY NOT DEPLOY when…
With certain types of frontal collisions, the vehicle’s body struc-
ture is designed to absorb the shock to help protect the occu-
pants from harm. (The vehicle body’s front area may deform
significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circum-
stances, the front air bags may not deploy irrespective of the defor-
mation and damage to the vehicle body.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration:
1- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow object
2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a truck
3- Oblique frontal impacts
Because the front air bags do not protect the occupant in all types
of frontal collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seat
belts.

The front air bags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when···
The front air bags are not designed to deploy in conditions where
they cannot typically provide protection to the occupant.
Such conditions are shown in the illustration:
1- Rear end collisions
2- Side collisions
3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the front air bags do not protect the occupant in all types
of frontal collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seat
belts.

The front air bags MAY DEPLOY when···
The front air bags may deploy if the bottom of the vehicle suf-
fers a moderate to severe impact (undercarriage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration:
1- Collision with an elevated median/island or curb
2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pot hole
3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and hits the ground
Because the front air bags may deploy in certain types of unex-
pected impacts as shown in the illustration that can easily move
you out of position, it is important to always properly wear your
seat belts. Your seat belts will help you to keep a safe distance
from the steering wheel and instrument panel during the initial
stages of air bag deployment. The initial stage of air bag infla-
tion is the most forceful and can possibly cause serious or fatal
injuries if you contact it at this stage.

The label shown here is attached to the
seatbacks with a side air bag.
The side air bag is designed to inflate only
on the side of the vehicle that is impacted.
G28L036A
Deployment of side air bagsThe side air bags ARE DESIGNED TO
DEPLOY when…
The side air bags are designed to deploy
when the vehicle suffers a moderate to
severe side impact to the middle of the pas-
senger compartment.
The typical condition is shown in the illus-
tration.
The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri-
mary means of protection in a collision. The
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) side
air bags are designed to provide addi-
tional protection. Therefore, for your safety
and the safety of all occupants, be sure to
always properly wear your seat belts.

The side air bags MAY NOT DEPLOY when…
With certain types of side collisions, the vehicle’s body struc-
ture is designed to absorb the shock to help to protect the occu-
pants from harm. (The vehicle body’s side area may deform
significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circum-
stances, the side air bags may not deploy irrespective of the defor-
mation and damage to the vehicle body.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration:
1- Side impacts in an area away from the passenger compart-
ment
2- Motorcycle or other similar small vehicle collides with the side
of vehicle
3- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow object
4- Oblique side impacts
5- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roofBecause the side air bags do not protect the occupant in all types
of side collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
