Front Seats
301-1. Front Seats
WARNING
Never adjust the seat while
driving, as personal injury or loss
of vehicle control may occur.Before adjusting the seat, ensure
nothing is blocking the adjusting
mechanism.After adjusting the seat, move it
back and forth to ensure the seat
is securely locked. If it is not, it
may move suddenly or the
seatbelt may not operate prop-
erly.Do not put objects under the front
seats. They may interfere with
front seat locking mechanism
and cause an accident.
Seatbelts provide maximum
restraint when the occupant sits
back and upright in the seat. To
reduce the risk of sliding under
the seatbelt in a collision, the
front seatbacks should always be
used in the upright position while
the vehicle is running. If the front
seatbacks are not in the upright
position and a collision occurs,
the risk of sliding under the lap
belt and of the lap belt sliding up
over the abdomen will increase,
and both can result in serious
injury or death.The SRS airbags deploy with
considerable speed and force.
Occupants who are not sitting
back and upright when the SRS
airbag deploys could suffer
serious injury. Because the SRS
airbag needs enough space for
deployment, the driver should
always sit upright and well back
in the seat as far from the steering
wheel as practical while still
maintaining full vehicle control,
and the front passenger should
move the seat as far back as
possible and sit upright and well
back in the seat.

WARNING
Seat children in the rear seat prop-
erly restrained at all times. The SRS
airbag deploys with considerable
speed and force and can injure or
even kill children, especially if they
are not restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults, their
risk of being injured from deploy-
ment is greater. For that reason, we
strongly recommend that ALL chil-
dren (including those in child
restraint systems) sit in the REAR
seat properly restrained at all times
in a child restraint system or in a
seatbelt, whichever is appropriate
for the child’s age, height and
weight. Secure ALL types of child
systems in the REAR seats at all
times.NEVER INSTALL A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE
CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE
SRS AIRBAG.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating posi-
tions than in the front seating posi-
tions. For instructions and
precautions concerning child
restraint systems, refer to "Child
Restraint Systems"
P46.

WARNING
To prevent the passenger from slid-
ing under the seatbelt in the event
of a collision, always put the
seatback in the upright position
while the vehicle is in motion. Also,
do not place objects such as cush-
ions between the passenger and the
seatback. If you do so, the risk of
sliding under the lap belt and of the
lap belt sliding up over the abdo-
men will increase, and both can
result in serious internal injury or
death.

WARNING
Never drive the vehicle with the
head restraints removed because
they are designed to reduce the
risk of serious neck injury in the
event that the vehicle is struck
from the rear. Also, never install
the head restraints backwards.
Doing so will prevent the head
restraints from functioning as
intended. Therefore, when the
head restraints are removed, all
head restraints must be rein-
stalled properly to protect vehicle
occupants.The vehicle should not be oper-
ated until the head restraints are
installed in their proper positions.

Folding Down the Rear Seat-
back
WARNING
Seatbelts provide maximum
restraint when the occupant sits
back and upright in the seat. Do not
place cushions or any other materi-
als between occupants and
seatbacks or seat cushions. By
doing so, the risk of sliding under
the lap belt and of the lap belt slid-
ing up over the abdomen will
increase, and both can result in
serious internal injury or death.
101953
WARNING
When folding down the seatback,
check that there are no passen-
gers or objects on the rear seat.
Not doing so creates a risk of
injury or property damage.Never allow passengers to ride
on the folded rear seatback or in
the trunk. Doing so may result in
serious injury or death.Secure all objects and especially
long items properly to prevent
them from being thrown around
inside the vehicle and causing
serious injury during a sudden
steering maneuver or accelera-
tion.When you return the seatback to
its original position, shake it
slightly to confirm that it is
securely in place. If it is not
securely fixed in place, it may
suddenly fold down in the event
of sudden braking, or objects
may move out from the trunk,
both could cause serious injury
or death.
WARNING
When the seatback is returned to its
original position, observe the fol-
lowing precautions. Failure to do so
may lead to serious injury or an
accident because the proper
seatbelt operation will be affected.The seatbelt should not be
caught in the seatback and it
should be fully visible.

Seatbelt Safety Tips
102759
WARNING
All persons in the vehicle should
fasten their seatbelts BEFORE
the vehicle starts to move. Other-
wise, the possibility of serious
injury becomes greater in the
event of a sudden stop or acci-
dent.All belts should fit snugly in order
to provide full restraint. Loose
fitting belts are not as effective in
preventing or reducing injury.Each seatbelt is designed to
support only one person. Never
use a single belt for two or more
persons – even children. Other-
wise, in an accident, serious
injury or death could result.
Replace all seatbelt assemblies
including retractors and
attaching hardware worn by
occupants of a vehicle that has
been in a serious accident. Also,
be sure to replace seatbelt
assemblies that show signs of
severe fraying or having been
cut. The entire assembly should
be replaced even if damage is not
obvious.Seat children in the rear seat
properly restrained at all times.
The SRS airbag deploys with
considerable speed and force
and can injure or even kill chil-
dren, especially if they are not
restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults,
their risk of being injured from
deployment is greater. For that
reason, we strongly recommend
that ALL children (including
those in child restraint systems)
sit in the REAR seat properly
restrained at all times in a child
restraint system or in a seatbelt,
whichever is appropriate for the
child’s height and weight. Secure
ALL types of child restraint
systems in the REAR seats at all
times.

slightly, the retractor locks the seatbelt in
that position and the seatbelt cannot be
extended. As the belt is rewinding, clicks
will be heard which indicate the retractor
functions as an ALR. When the seatbelt is
retracted fully, the ALR mode is canceled
and the ELR mode is restored.
When securing a child restraint system on
the rear seats by using a seatbelt, the
seatbelt must be changed over to the
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode.
For instructions on how to install the child
restraint system using a seatbelt, refer to
"Installing Child Restraint Systems with
ALR/ELR Seatbelt" P51.
When the child restraint system is
removed, make sure that the retractor is
restored to the Emergency Locking
Retractor (ELR) mode by allowing the
seatbelt to retract fully.■

Fastening the Seatbelt
WARNING
Never use a belt that is twisted or
reversed. In an accident, this can
increase the risk or severity of
injury.Keep the lap belt as low as
possible on your hips. In a colli-
sion, this spreads the force of the
lap belt over stronger hip bones
instead of across the weaker
abdomen.Seatbelts provide maximum
restraint when the occupant sits
well back and upright in the seat.
To reduce the risk of sliding
under the seatbelt in a collision,
the front seatbacks should be
always used in the upright posi-
tion while the vehicle is running.
If the front seatbacks are not used
in the upright position in a colli-
sion, the risk of sliding under the
lap belt and of the lap belt sliding
up over the abdomen will
increase, and both can result in
serious internal injury or death.
Do not put cushions or any other
materials between occupants and
seatbacks or seat cushions. If
you do so, the risk of sliding
under the lap belt and of the lap
belt sliding up over the abdomen
will increase, and both can result
in serious internal injury or death.
WARNING
Never place the shoulder belt under
the arm or behind the back. If an
accident occurs, this can increase
the risk or severity of injury.
