Lap-shoulder belt
Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The seat belt has an emergency locking
retractor (ELR), which is designed to lock
the seat belt only during a sudden stop or
impact. It also may lock if you pull the belt
across your body very quickly. If this hap-
pens, let the belt go back to unlock it, and
then pull the belt across your body more
slowly.

To reduce the risk of sliding under the belt
during a crash, position the lap portion of
the belt across your lap as low on your hips
as possible and adjust it to a snug fit by
pulling the shoulder portion of the belt
upward through the latch plate. The length
of the diagonal shoulder strap adjusts itself
to allow freedom of movement.

“PRESS” button on the buckle and retract
the belt slowly while holding the belt or/and
the latch plate.
Lap-shoulder belt with detachable connector
54P000221
The rear center lap-shoulder belt has a
buckle, a latch plate and a detachable con-
nector. The buckle is marked as “CEN-
TER” for distinction from the rear left seat
belt buckle. The rear center seat belt
buckle and the connector are designed so
as not to allow a wrong latch plate to be
inserted.
When the rear seatback is in the upright
position, keep the detachable connector
latched. Only when the rear seatback is
folded down, unlatch the detachable con-
nector. To latch and unlatch the connector,
refer to “Unlatching and latching detach-
able connector” in this section.

any crash. Any seat belt assembly
which was in use during a crash
(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 crash should be replaced if
it does not function properly, it is
damaged in any way or the seat belt
pretensioners were activated (that is,
if the front air bags were activated).

BEFORE DRIVING
54P00-01E
To turn the lights on or off, twist the knob
on the end of the lever. There are four
positions:
OFF (1)
All lights are off.
AUTO (2)
This function works when the ignition
mode has been changed to “ON” by press-
ing the engine switch. The headlights and
position lights are turned on and off auto-
matically according to the amount of out-
side light detected by a sensor. They go
out automatically when you change the
ignition mode to “ACC” or “LOCK” by
pressing the engine switch.
The light sensor (5) for sensing the amount
of outside light is installed on the upper
part of the windshield. It also serves as the
rain sensor for the rain-sensing wipers.NOTE:
• Avoid covering the light sensor area of
the windshield with a sticker. The sticker
may impair the performance of the sen-
sor and make the system unable to con-
trol operation of the lights correctly.
• If you changed the ignition mode to “ON”
by pressing the engine switch and
“AUTO” position remains selected, the
headlights and position lights come on
automatically as it gets dark outside,
even with the engine not running. Leav-
ing the lights lit for a long time may lead
to a completely discharged battery.

Front position lights, tail lights, license
plate light and instrument lights are on, but
headlights are off. (4)
Front position lights, tail lights, license
plate light, instrument lights and headlights
are on.
61MM0A075
With the headlights on, push the lever for-
ward to switch to the high beams (main
beams) or pull the lever toward you to
switch to the low beams. When the high
beams (main beams) are on, a light on the
instrument cluster will come on. To
momentarily activate the high beams (main
beams) as a passing signal, pull the lever
slightly toward you and release it when you
have completed the signal.
CAUTION
If the light sensor area of the wind-
shield is covered with mud, ice, or
other similar substances, the head-
lights and position lights may be
turned on even when it is still light
outside. Before removing such sub-
stances from the windshield, always
set the wiper control lever to “OFF”
position. If the lever is left in “AUTO”
position, the wipers could unexpect-
edly operate and cause injury, and
could also be damaged.

Radar brake support system
(if equipped)
Radar brake support system measures the
relative velocity of, and distance from, the
vehicle in front of you by radar and then
attempts to avoid a crash by giving warn-
ing and, in the event of a crash, attempts to
reduce damage through brake control.
WA R N I N G
• Radar brake support system has
limits and may not function prop-
erly depending on the driving con-
ditions. Do not rely excessively on
the system and always drive in a
safe manner.
• For safety reasons, do not check
the operation of the system by
yourself.
• Check that all passengers fasten
their seat belts when the vehicle is
being operated.
When the system is activated, there
is a risk of serious injury from
being thrown.

Rearview camera
(if equipped)
When the gearshift lever is shifted to “R”
position while the ignition switch is in “ON”
position or the ignition mode is “ON”, the
rearview camera system automatically
shows the view behind the vehicle on the
display.
Rearview camera location
54P000316
(1) Rearview camera
The rearview camera is installed beside
the license plate light.
WA R N I N G
The distance viewed in the rearview
camera may differ from the actual
distance according to the condition
of road or the load the vehicle is car-
rying. Since the camera display area
is also limited, backing up by only
looking at the display may cause an
accident or a crash with an object.
The rearview camera cannot replace
the driver’s attention. The driver
alone is responsible for parking and
similar driving maneuvers.
• Use the rearview camera only to
provide driving assistance.
• Always drive carefully confirming
the safety of the rear and the sur-
rounding conditions by looking
directly with your eyes and using
the rear view mirror.
• Check that the tailgate is securely
closed when backing up.
NOTICE
If you use the rearview camera for a
long time when the ignition switch is
in “ON” position or the ignition mode
is “ON”, but the engine is not run-
ning, the battery may discharge.
Do not leave the ignition switch in
“ON” position or the ignition mode
“ON” for a long time when the engine
is not running.
NOTICE
The rearview camera is a precision
instrument. If you strike the camera,
it may be broken and cause damage
resulting in a catch fire or a malfunc-
tion.
• Do not strike the camera.
• Do not remove snow or mud on the
camera lens with a stick.
