Safety Precautions When Driving
6■
Child Safety
WARNING
Never hold a child on your lap or
in your arms while the vehicle is
moving. The passenger cannot
protect the child from injury in a
collision, because the child will
be caught between the passenger
and objects inside the vehicle.While riding in th e vehicle, infants
and small children should always
be seated in the REAR seat in an
infant or child restraint system
which is appropriate for the
child’s age, height and weight. If a
child is too big for a child
restraint system, the child should
sit in the REAR seat and be
restrained using the seatbelts.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating
positions. Never allow a child to
stand up or kneel on the seat.
 Place children in the REAR seat
properly restrained at all times in
a child restraint system or in a
seatbelt. 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
deployment is greater.NEVER INSTALL A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE
FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT.
DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH TO THE
CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S
HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS
AIRBAG.Always lock the passengers’
windows using the lock switch
when children are riding in the
vehicle. Failure to follow this
procedure could result in injury
to a child operating the power
window. Refer to "Windows"

P116.
Never leave unattended children,
adults or animals in the vehicle.
They could accidentally injure
themselves or others through
inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny
days, temperature in a closed
vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to them.Help prevent children, adults or
animals from locking themselves
in the trunk. On hot or sunny
days, the temperature in the trunk
could quickly become high
enough to cause death or serious
heat-related injuries including
brain damage to anyone locked
inside, particularly for small chil-
dren.When leaving the vehicle, close
all windows and lock all doors.
Also make certain that the trunk
is closed.

Seatbelts
40This vehicle is equipped with a crash
sensing and diagnostic module, which will
record the use of the seatbelt by the front
passenger when any of the SRS frontal,
side and curtain airbags deploys.
▼
Infants or small children
Use a child restraint system that is suit-
ab le for this vehicle. Refer to "Child
Restraint Systems" P46.
▼Children
If a child is too big for a child restraint
system, the child should sit in the rear seat
and be restrained using the seatbelts. According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front
seating positions. Never allow a child to
stand up or kneel on the seat.
If the shoulder portion of the belt crosses
the face or neck, move
the child closer to
the belt buckle to help provide a good
shoulder belt fit. Care must be taken to
securely place the lap belt as low as
possible on the hips and not on the child’s
waist. If the shoulder portion of the belt
cannot be properly positioned, a child
restraint system should be used. Never
place the shoulder belt under the child’s
arm or behind the child’s back.
▼
Expectant mothers
Expectant mothers also need to use the
se atbelts. They should consult their doctor for specific recommendations. The lap
belt should be worn securely and as low
as possible over the hips, not over the
waist.
■
Emergency Locking
Retractor (ELR)
The driver’s seatbelt has an Emergency
Locking Retractor (ELR).
The emergency locking retractor allows
normal body movement but the retractor
locks automatically during a sudden stop,
impact or if you pull the belt very quickly
out of the retractor.■
Automatic Locking
Retractor/Emergency
Lock
ing Retractor (ALR/ELR)
Each passenger’s seatbelt has an Auto-
matic Locking Retractor/Emergency
Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR). The Auto-
matic Locking Retractor/Emergency
Locking Retractor normally functions as
an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR).
The ALR/ELR has an additional locking
mode, “Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) mode”, intended to secure a child
restraint system.
The ALR mode functions as follows.
When the seatbelt is once drawn out
completely and is then retracted even

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.

Children could be endangered in an acci-
dent if their child restraint systems are notproperly secured in the vehicle. When
installing the child re straint system, care-
fully follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front
seating positions.

WARNING
 Before installing a child restraint
system, be sure to confirm that
the seatback is securely locked
into place. Otherwise, in an acci-
dent, serious injury or death
could result.Do not leave children in the car
unattended. High interior
temperatures may cause heat
stroke and dehydration that
result in serious injury or death.
100125
WARNING
Never let a passenger hold a child
on his or her lap or in his or her
arms while the vehicle is moving.
The passenger cannot protect the
child from injury in a collision,
because the child will be caught
between the passenger and objects
inside the vehicle. Additionally,
holding a child in your lap or arms
in the front seat exposes that child
to another serious danger. Since
the SRS airbag deploys with con-
siderable speed and force, the child
could be injured or even killed.

A: Front passenger’s seat
You should not install a child restraint
system (including a booster seat) due to
the hazard to children posed by the
passenger’s airbag.
B: Rear seat
Recommended positions for all types of
child restraint systems. In these positions, the following equip-
ment is provided for installing a child
restraint system.

Automatic Locking Retractor/Emer-
gency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR)
seatbelts
 Lower anchorages (bars)
 Upper anchorages (tether anchorages)
Some types of child restraint systems
might not be able to be secured firmly due
to projection of the seat cushion.
In this seating position, you should use
only a child restrain t system that has a
bottom base that fits snugly against the
contours of the seat cushion and can be
securely retained using the seatbelt. If the child restraint system
cannot be correctly installed
because it contacts the driver’s
seat, move the child restraint
system to a different seat. If it
cannot be installed in a different
seat (other than the driver’s seat),
adjust the front seat so that
contact does not occur.
102673
WARNING
Even with advanced airbags, chil-
dren can be seriously injured by
the airbag. 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
children, 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, be sure to secure
ALL types of child restraint systems
in the REAR seats at all times. You
should choose a restraint system
which is appropriate for the child’s
age, height and weight. According
to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in
the rear seating positions than in
the front seating positions.Do not connect tw o or more lower
hooks onto the same anchorage
(bar).
