WARNING
cIt is very important that you follow
the instructions in this section be-
fore anyone rides in this seating po-
sition of the two-passenger bench
seat.
cFailure to do so may result in im-
proper positioning of seat belt which
could lead to increased likelihood or
severity of injury in a sudden stop or
collision.
The two-passenger bench seat in the sec-
ond row has a seat belt system made up of
two buckles and two tongues. There are two
body attaching points (one upper and one
lower) that attach each end of the seat belt
webbing.One of the seat belt tongues has two ``win-
dows'' (or holes) and the other has only one
``window''. The seat belt tongue with one
window attaches to the auxiliary buckle
mounted to the side of the seat. The seat
belt tongue with two windows should be

ZX

positioned properly and fastened to the
buckle mounted in the middle of the seat.
When the two buckle seat belt system is not
in use, the webbing can be secured with the
seat belt clip. The seat belt clip should not
be used with a child seat or during seat belt
usage. The seat belt clip opening should
face the front of the vehicle.
A twisted belt may prevent the retractor
from working properly. If the two buckle seat
belt system is twisted, disengage the single
window tongue from the auxiliary buckle on
the side of the seat, remove the twist and
reinstall the tongue into the auxiliary buckle
until you hear a snap and feel the latch
engage.
Both tongues must be attached to their
appropriate buckles whenever someone
is riding in that seating position. If the
tongue is released to allow a third row
passenger to enter or exit, the tongue
must be reattached.When the two-passenger bench seat is re-
moved from the vehicle, you must detach
the single window tongue from the auxiliary
buckle.
If the three-passenger bench seat is
moved up to the second row position,
the outside passenger (near the sliding
door) only needs to use the double win-
dow tongue and the standard buckle.
Because the third row seat is so much
wider and is closer to the sliding door,
the single window tongue and the auxil-
iary buckle are not necessary.

begins to flash once every three sec-
onds. The system is now activated.
The theft warning system is NOT activated if
one of the following occurs:
cA door is unlocked or opened, the hood is
opened, or the ignition key is turned to
the ACC or ON position during the 30
seconds in which the SECURITY light
stays on.
cThe SECURITY light blinks at a steady
1/2 second on - 1/2 second off rate
because a door or the hood is open and
