The adjustment lever for each front seat is
located under the front of the seat. To
adjust the seat position, pull up on the
adjustment lever and slide the seat forward
or rearward. After adjustment, try to move
the seat forward and rearward to ensure
that it is securely latched.
ww ww
w WARNING
To avoid excessive seat belt slack,
which reduces the effectiveness of the
seat belts as a safety device, make
sure that the seats are adjusted
before the seat belts are fastened.
Seatbacks should always be in an
upright position when driving, or seat
belt effectiveness may be reduced.
Seat belts are designed to offer
maximum protection when seatbacks
are in the fully upright position.
Front Seats
The seatbacks can be adjusted to different
angles. To adjust the seatback angle, pull
up the lever on the outboard side of the
seat, move the seatback to the desired
position, and release the lever to lock the
seatback in place.

BEFORE DRIVING3-11Seat belts are good help to protect
occupants from injury or death in the
event of accidents. We urge you to
wear seat belts at all times if the belts
are equipped. If seat belts are not
equipped at the rear seating positions,
we recommend you to install optional
or after market high quality seat belts

Never allow persons to ride in the
cargo area of a vehicle. In the event
of an accident, there is a much
greater risk of injury for persons
who are not riding in a seat with
their seat belt securely fastened.
Seat belts should always be adjusted so the lap portion of the
belt is worn low across the pelvis,
not across the waist. Shoulder
straps should be worn on the
outside shoulder only, and never
under the arm. Seat belts should
never be worn with the straps
twisted and should be adjusted as

tightly as is comfortable to provide
the protection for which they have
been designed. A slack belt will
provide less protection than one
which is snug.
Make sure that each seat belt buckle is inserted into the proper buckle
catch.
Do not wear your seat belt over
hard or breakable objects in your
pockets or on your clothing. If an
accident occurs, objects such as
glasses, pens, etc. under the seat
belt can cause injury.

Never use the same seat belt onmore than one occupant and never
attach a seat belt over an infant or
child being held on an occupant’s
lap. Such seat belt use could cause
serious injury in the event of an
accident.
Pregnant women should use seat belts, although specific recommen-
dations about restraint use should
be made by the woman’s medical
advisor. Remember that the lap
portion of the belt should be worn
as low as possible across the hips,
as shown in the diagram.

Periodically inspect seat belt
assemblies for excessive wear and
damage. Seat belts should be
replaced if webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated, or damaged in any
way. It is essential to replace the
entire seat belt assembly after it has
been stressed in an impact, even if
damage to the assembly is not
obvious.
Infants and small children should never be transported unless they are
properly restrained. Restraint
systems for infants and small
children can be purchased locally
and should be used. Make sure that
the system you purchase meets
applicable safety standards. Read
and follow all the directions
provided by the manufacturer.
Avoid contamination of seat belt webbing by polishes, oils,
chemicals, and particularly battery
acid. Cleaning may safely be carried
out using mild soap and water.
For children, if the shoulder belt irritates the neck or face, move the
child closer to the center of the
vehicle.

Be sure to inspect all seat belt
assemblies after any collision. Any
seat belt assembly which was in use
during a collision (other than a very
minor one) should be replaced, even
if damage to the assembly is not
obvious. Any seat belt assembly
which was not in use during a
collision should be replaced if it does
not function properly or is damaged
in any way.

To Adjust the Belt
Pull the shoulder portion of the belt
upwards through the tongue plate.
The length of the diagonal shoulder strap
adjusts itself to allow freedom of movement.
The seat belt has an emergency locking
retractor (ELR), which is designed to lock
the seat belt only during a sudden stop or
impact.
No modifications or additions of any
sort should be made to the seat belt
or its operating mechanism.

Seat Belt Inspection
Periodically inspect the seat belts to make
sure they work properly and are not
damaged. Check the webbing, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, anchorages and guide
loops. Replace any seat belts which do not
work properly or are damaged.
