When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a locked con- dition, pull the belts once forcefully and then return them. After that, pull the belts out slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until a “click” is
heard.

Brake fluid
E01000900401
To check the fluid levelThe brake fluid level is monito
red by a float. When the brake
fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp lights up. The brake fluid level must be
between the “MAX” and “MIN”
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is below the “MIN
” mark, check according to the
following procedure:1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” or “ACC” position. 2. Repeatedly depress the brake
pedal until significant resist-
ance is felt (normally after about 40 times).
3. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any abnormality.If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks fr
om the brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend yo
u to have the vehicle checked.
