&Emergency Locking Retrac-
tor (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/Emergency Lock-
ing Retractor (A/ELR)
Each passenger ’s seatbelt has an Auto-
matic/Emergency Locking Retractor (A/
ELR). The Automatic/Emergency Locking
Retractor normally functions as an Emer-
gency Locking Retractor (ELR). The A/
ELR has an additional locking mode“ Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode ”intended to secure a child restraint
system. 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 released.
When securing a child restraint system on
the rear seats by the use of the seatbelt,
the seatbelt must be changed over to the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode.
When the child restraint system is re-
moved, make sure that the seatbelt
retracts fully and the retractor returned to
the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode.
For instructions on how to convert the
retractor to the ALR mode and restore it to
the ELR mode, see the
“Child restraint
systems ”section in this chapter.
& Seatbelt warning light
and chime
Your vehicle is equipped with a seatbelt
warning device at the driver ’s seat, as
required by current safety standards.
There is a seatbelt warning light in the
combination meter.
If the driver has not yet fastened the
seatbelt when the ignition switch is turned
to the “ON ”position, the seatbelt warning
light will flash for 6 seconds, to warn that
the seatbelt is unfastened. If the driver ’s
seatbelt is not fastened, a chime will also
sound simultaneously.
If the driver ’s seatbelt is still not fastened 6
seconds later, the warning light will remain
lit for 15 seconds. If the driver ’s seatbelt is
still not fastened even 15 seconds later
(21 seconds after turning ON the ignition
switch), the warning lights will alternate between flashing and steady illumination
at 15-second intervals, and the chime will
sound while the warning light is flashing.
Alternate flashing and steady illumination
of the warning lights and sounding of the
chime will continue until the driver fastens
the seatbelt.
NOTE . If the driver unfastens the seatbelt
after fastening, the seatbelt warning
device operates as follows according
to the vehicle speed.
.At speeds lower than approxi-
mately 9 mph (15 km/h)
The warning light will alternate
between flashing and steady illumi-
nation at 15-second intervals. The
chime will not sound. . At speeds higher than approxi-
mately 9 mph (15 km/h)
The warning light will alternate
between flashing and steady illumi-
nation at 15-second intervals and
the chime will sound while the
warning light is flashing.
. It is possible to cancel the warning
operation that follows the 6-second
warning after turning ON the ignition
switch. When the ignition switch is
turned ON next time, however, the

retractor to change the retractor over from
the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
to the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
function. Then, allow the belt to rewind
into the retractor. As the belt is rewinding,
clicks will be heard which indicate the
retractor functions as ALR.6. Push and pull the child restraint
system forward and from side to side to
check if it is firmly secured. Sometimes a
child restraint can be more firmly secured
by pushing it down into the seat cushion
and then tightening the seatbelt.
7. Pull at the shoulder portion of the belt
to confirm that it cannot be pulled out (ALR
properly functioning).8. To remove the child restraint system,
press the release button on the seatbelt
buckle and allow the belt to retract
completely. The belt will return to the
ELR mode.

restraint system, move it back and forth
and right and left to check if it is firmly
secured. Sometimes a child restraint can
be more firmly secured by pushing it down
into the seat cushion and then tightening

Remote keyless entry system
Two transmitters are provided for your vehicle.
The remote keyless entry system has the
following functions. .Locking and unlocking the doors (and
rear gate on the Wagon) without a key. Sounding a panic alarm
. Arming and disarming the alarm sys-
tem. See the next section “Alarm system ”
for detailed information.
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of
Industry Canada. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful inter-
ference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, in-
cluding interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not ex-
pressly approved by the party respon-
sible for compliance could void theuser ’s authority to operate the equip-
ment.
The operable distance of the keyless entry
system is approximately 30 feet (10
meters). However, this distance will vary
depending on environmental conditions. The system
’s operable distance will be

equipment emitting strong radio waves
such as a power plant, broadcast station,
TV tower, or remote controller of home
electronic appliances.
The remote keyless entry system does not
operate when the key is inserted in the
ignition switch to prevent accidental lock-out.

1. Turn the REV setting knob clockwise
or counterclockwise, then release it and
let it return to its initial position. The buzzer
will sound. The REV alarm system is now
ready to be set.
2. Turn the REV setting knob to select
the desired alarm-level engine speed.
At this time, the outside temperature
indicator will show the engine-speed setting. .
Counterclockwise ( ): Speed setting
changes downward by 100 rpm. . Clockwise (+): Speed setting
changes upward by 100 rpm.
The speed setting will stop changing if
it reaches 0 rpm or the maximum
engine speed.

The alarm-level engine speed can be set
(in 100 rpm steps) within the range from
2,000 rpm to 7,000 rpm.
The indicator shows the setting as follows:
Speed (rpm) Indication 00 0
2,000 20
2,100 21 ––
7,000 70
Approximately 3 seconds after you stop
turning the knob, the REV alarm system

Turn the knob counterclockwise ( )
to deactivate the buzzer. The indicator
will show “– –”, and the buzzer will not
sound. With the buzzer deactivated,
engine-speed warnings are given only
by the REV indicator light.
Approximately 3 seconds after you stop
turning the knob, the buzzer will sound
once to indicate the end of the setting
procedure. The indicator will return to
showing the outside temperature.
Also, the tachometer needle will return to approximately “0 ”.
NOTE . The REV alarm system does not
operate while settings are being en- tered.. The speed-setting mode terminates
if 0 rpm is selected.. The speed-setting mode is canceled
if the ignition switch is turned to OFF or
the vehicle starts moving before the
setting procedure is finished.. Speed setting is impossible when
the vehicle is moving.. The set engine speed may differ
