• When you move a seatback(s),
make sure the belt webbing is
hooked in the seat belt hangers so
the seat belts are not caught by the
seatback(s), seat hinge, or seat
latch. This helps prevent damage to
the belt system.
• Make sure the belt webbing is not
twisted.
EXAMPLE
NOTICE
After folding the rear seatback(s) for-
ward, do not allow any foreign mate-
rial to enter the lock opening. This
may cause damage to the inside of
the lock and prevent the seatback(s)
from being locked securely.
WA R N I N G
If you need to carry cargo in the pas-
senger compartment with the rear
seatback(s) folded forward, be sure to
secure the cargo or it may be thrown
about, causing injury. Never pile cargo
higher than the seatback(s).
EXAMPLECAUTION
• When returning the rear seat-
back(s) to the normal position, do
not allow any foreign material to
enter the lock opening. This may
prevent the seatback(s) from being
locked securely.
NOTICE
• When returning the rear seat-
back(s) to the normal position,
make sure that there is nothing
around the striker. Any foreign
materials prevent the seatback(s)
from being locked securely.
• When you move a seatback(s),
make sure the belt webbing is
hooked in the seat belt hangers so
the seat belts are not caught by the
seatback(s), seat hinge, or seat

• When returning the rear seat-
back(s) to the normal position, do
not allow any foreign material to
enter the lock opening. This may
prevent the seatback(s) from being
locked securely.
• When returning the rear seat-
back(s) to the normal position, be
sure to handle it carefully by hand
to avoid any damage to the lock
itself. Do not push it by using some
material or by applying excessive
force.
• As the lock is designed exclusively
for securing the rear seatback(s),
do not use it for any other purpose.
Incorrect use of it may cause dam-
age to the inside of the lock and
prevent the seatback(s) from being
locked securely.
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 wearing 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
• 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 as follows:
– the lap portion of the belt should
be 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.

• Seat belts should never be worn
with 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 one which is snug.
• Make sure that each seat belt
buckle is inserted into the proper
buckle catch. It is possible to cross
the buckles in the rear seat.

• Pregnant women should use seat
belts, 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 diagram.
• 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.

Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
(if equipped)
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, then
pull the belt across your body more slowly.

To reduce the risk of sliding under the belt
during a collision, 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
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• Never use the same seat belt on
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 age 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. Make sure that the
system you purchase meets appli-
cable safety standards. Read and
follow all the directions provided
by the manufacturer.
(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• For children, if the shoulder belt
irritates the neck or face, move the
child closer to the center of the
vehicle.
• 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, clips, etc. 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.
