If you need to carry cargo in the pas-
senger compartment with the rear
seatback folded forward, secure the
cargo or it may be thrown about,
causing injury. Never pile cargo
higher than the seatbacks.

Raise the seatback until it locks into place.
After returning the seat, move the seat-
back forward and backward to check that it
is securely latched.
NOTICE
• When returning the rear seatback to the normal position, check that there
is nothing around the striker. Any
foreign materials prevent the seat-
back from being locked securely.
• When you move a seatback, make sure the belt webbing is hooked in
the seat belt hangers so the seat
belts are not caught by the seat-
back, seat hinge, or seat latch. This
helps prevent damage to the belt
system.
• Make sure the belt webbing is not
twisted.

Seat belts and child restraint systems
65D231S65D606
WA R N I N G
Wear your seat belts at all times.
WA R N I N G
An air bag supplements or adds to
the frontal crash protection offered
by seat belts. The driver and all pas-
sengers must be properly restrained
by fastening seat belts at all times,
whether or not an air bag is mounted
at their seating position, to minimize
the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash.
WA R N I N G
Do not modify, remove, disassemble
seat belts. Doing so may prevent
them from functioning properly and
cause the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash.
WA R N I N G
• 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 sec urely fastened.
• Seat belts should always be
adjusted as follows:
– the lap portion of the belt shouldbe worn low across the pelvis,
not across the waist.
– the shoulder straps should be worn on the outside shoulder
only, and never under the arm.
– the shoulder straps should be away from your face and neck,
but not falling off your shoulder. (Continued)
Above the pelvis

• Seat belts should never be wornwith the straps twisted and should
be adjusted as tightly as is com-
fortable to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will provide less pro-
tection than a snug belt.
• Check that each seat belt buckle is inserted into the proper buckle
catch. It is possible to cross the
buckles in the rear seat. (Continued)
Across the pelvis
WA R N I N G

• Pregnant women should use seatbelts, although specific recommen-
dations about driving should be
made by the woman’s medical advi-
sor. Remember that the lap portion
of the belt should be worn as low
as possible across the hips, as
shown in the illustration.
• Do not fasten 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. (Continued)
as low as possible
across the hips
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• Never use the same seat belt for
more 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.
• 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 worn in a severe impact,
even if damage to the assembly is
not obvious.
• Children aged 12 and under should
ride properly restrained in the rear
seat.
• Infants and small children should
never be transported unless they
are properly restrained. Restraint
systems for infants and small chil-
dren can be purchased locally and
should be used. Check that the
system you purchase meets appli-
cable safety standards. Read and
follow all the directions provided
by the manufacturer. (Continued)

Lap-shoulder beltEmergency 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.
Safety reminder
60A03860A040
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 s
trap adjusts itself
to allow freedom of movement.
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• For child, if the seat belt irritates
the neck or face, use a child
restraint system appropriately for
the child. The seat belts of your
vehicle are principally designed for
persons of adult size.
• Avoid contamination of seat belt
webbing by polishes, oils, chemi-
cals, and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water.
• Do not insert any items such as
coins and clips into the seat belt
buckles, and be careful not to spill
liquids into these parts. If foreign
materials get into a seat belt
buckle, the seat belt may not work
properly.
• All 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 upright posi-
tion.

When the driver and/or passenger(s)
do(does) not buckle his or her seat belt,
the seat belt reminder light will come on or
blink and a buzzer will sound as a
reminder to the driver and/or passenger(s)
to buckle his or her seat belt. For more
details, refer to the explanation below.
NOTE:
The driver’s seat belt reminder light / front
passenger’s seat belt reminder light is for
both the driver and front passenger. Driver’s seat belt reminder
If the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled
when the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to ON, the
reminder works as follows:
1) The seat belt reminder light will come
on.
2) After the vehicle’s speed has reached
about 15 km/h, the seat belt reminder
light will blink and a buzzer will sound
for about 95 seconds.
3) The reminder light will remain on until the driver’s seat belt is buckled.
If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt
and later unbuckles the seat belt, the
reminder system will be activated from
Step 1) or 2) according to the vehicle’s
speed. When the vehicle’s speed is less
than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
Step 1). When the vehicle’s speed is more
than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
Step 2).
The reminder will be automatically can-
celed when the driver’s seat belt is buckled
or the ignition switch is turned off, or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to LOCK (OFF). Front passenger’s seat belt reminder
(if equipped)
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 a pas-
senger was present. The front passenger’s
seat belt reminder wo
rks in the same man-
ner as the driver’s seat belt reminder.
Rear passenger’s seat belt reminder
(if equipped)
If a rear seat belt is not fastened when the
engine is started, all the rear passenger’s
seat belt reminder lights will come on for
about 35 seconds and then go out.
Within this 35 seconds;
• For the instrument c luster with tachome-
ter, the corresponding reminder is high-
lighted. The reminder fades when the
seat belt is fastened.
• For the instrum ent cluster without
tachometer, the corresponding reminder
comes on with the frame. The reminder
goes off with leaving the frame when the
seat belt is fastened.
The rear passenger’s seat belt reminder
lights will also come on for about 35 sec-
onds in the following conditions.
• If a seat belt is unfastened when the vehicle speed is less than 15 km/h, the
corresponding light will come on.
WA R N I N G
It is absolutely essential that the
driver and passengers fasten their
seat belts at all times. Persons who
are not fastening seat belts have a
much greater risk of injury if an acci-
dent occurs. Make a regular habit of
buckling your seat belt before putting
the key in the ignition or pressing the
engine switch.

2-39BEFORE DRIVING
75RM4-01E
• If a seat belt is unfastened when thevehicle speed is more than 15 km/h, the
corresponding light will come on and a
buzzer will sound.
The reminder will be automatically can-
celed when the rear seat belt is buckled or
the ignition switch is turned off, or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to LOCK (OFF).
Shoulder anchor height adjuster (if equipped)
64J198
Adjust the shoulder anchor height so that
the shoulder belt rides on the center of the
outboard shoulder. To move upward, slide
the anchor up. To move downward, slide
the anchor down while pulling the lock
knob out. After adjustment, check that the
anchor is securely locked.
Rear outside seat belt guide
75RM007
When you move a seatback, make sure
the belt webbing and the latch plate are
hooked in the seat belt hangers.
WA R N I N G
Check that the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned on the cent er 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 seat belt in a crash.
