■Seat adjustment
●To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Before driving
Front seatbelt guide
To enable the seatbelt to be eas-
ily extended, pass the seatbelt
through the guide.
When getting in or out of the rear
seats, release the seatbelt from
the guide.
Seatbelt pretensioners (front seats)
The pretensioner helps the seat-
belt to quickly restrain the occu-
pant by retracting the seatbelt
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal or
side collision or a vehicle roll-
over.
The pretensioner may not acti-
vate in the event of a minor frontal
or side impact or a rear impact.

62 1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.
■Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then
retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once
more. (oP. 143)
■Child seatbelt usage
The seatbelts of your vehicle are principally designed for persons of adult
size.
●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seatbelt.
(oP. 139)
●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's
seatbelt, follow the instructions on P. 60 regarding seatbelt usage.
■Seatbelt pretensioners
●Seatbelt pretensioners are not designed to activate in a rear impact or
minor frontal or side impact.
●The following four components operate simultaneously when the vehicle
is involved in a rollover accidents.
• Seatbelt pretensioner for driver
• Seatbelt pretensioner for front passenger
• SRS curtain airbag for driver’s seat side
• SRS curtain airbag for front passenger’s seat side
