FOR SAFE DRIVING
A. WARNING
(Continued) Pregnant women should use seat belts, although specific recommen­dations 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)
1-9
A. WARNING
(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)
A. WARNING
(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.

Driver's seat belt reminder If the driver's seat belt remains unbuckled when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, the reminder works as follows: 1) The driver's seat belt reminder light will come on. The front passenger's seat
belt reminder light will also come on if a front passenger does not fasten his/her seat belt. 2) After the vehicle's speed has reached about 15 km/h, the driver's 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 can­celed when the driver's seat belt is buckled or the ignition switch is turned off.
Front passenger's seat belt reminder (if equipped) If there is a person sitting in the front pas­senger seat and the front passenger seat belt is unbuckled when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, the front pas­senger's seat belt reminder will activate.

seat belt reminder is located in the seat cushion. Therefore, if you spill liquid such as liquid aromatics1 soft drinks or juice on the front passen­ger's seat cushion, immediately wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Otherwise, the sensor of the front passenger's seat belt reminder can be damaged.
