Driver’s seat belt reminder
If the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled
with the ignition key in the “ON” position,
the driver’s seat belt reminder works as fol-
lows:
1) The driver’s seat belt reminder light will
come on for about 20 seconds when
the ignition key is turned to the “ON”
position then will blink for about 55 sec-
onds. When the light comes on, a
buzzer will also sound intermittently for
about 6 seconds (Reminder 1).
2) If the vehicle is driven (vehicle speed >
8 km/h), Reminder 2 will operate about
30 seconds after Reminder 1 has fin-
ished.
If the vehicle is not driven (vehicle
speed < 8 km/h), Reminder 2 will oper-
ate when driving starts (vehicle speed >
8 km/h).
3) Reminder 3 will operate about 3 min-
utes after Reminder 2 has finished.
4) Even if the driver’s seat belt remains
unbuckled after Reminder 3, there will
be no further reminders.
If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt
and later unbuckles the seat belt, the
reminder system will be activated from
Reminder 1 or Reminder 2 according to
the vehicle speed. (Refer to the flow chart.)
The driver’s seat belt reminder will be auto-
matically canceled when the driver’s seat
belt is buckled or the ignition switch is
turned off.Front passenger’s seat belt reminder
The front passenger’s seat belt reminder
will activate only when there is a passen-
ger sitting in the front seat. In some situa-
tions, however, such as when you place
heavy objects in the front seat, the seat
belt reminder can be activated as if there
were a passenger present. The front pas-
senger’s seat belt reminder works in the
same manner as the driver’s seat belt
reminder, except that it is not activated
until 10 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position.Shoulder anchor height adjuster
(if equipped)
64J198
Adjust the shoulder anchor height so that
the shoulder belt rides on the center of the
outside shoulder. To adjust the shoulder
anchor height, slide the anchor up simply
or slide the anchor down while pulling the
lock knob out. After adjustment, make sure
that the anchor is securely locked.
WARNING
Be sure that the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned on the center of the outside
shoulder. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not fall-
ing off your shoulder. Misadjustment
of the belt could reduce the effective-
ness of the safety belt in a crash.
