!WARNING:
To minimize risk of personal injury in the event of a collision or a sud-den stop, both the driver and pas- senger seatbacks should always be in an upright position while thevehicle is in motion. The protection provided by the seat belts and airbags may be reduced signifi-cantly when the seatbacks are re- clined. There is greater risk that the driver and passenger will slide un- der the belt resulting in serious injury if a crash occurs when theseatbacks are reclined. The seat belt cannot provide full protection to an occupant if the seat back isreclined. B260A01P-GAT Lumbar Support Control (Driver's Seat Only) (If installed)

B170A04A-AAT HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEAT SHOULDER BELT(If installed) You can adjust the height of the front shoulder belt anchor to one of the 4positions.

The shoulder portion should be ad- justed so that it lies across your chestand midway over your shoulder near- est the door and not your neck. B170A01A
o A dirty belt should be cleaned
with neutral detergent in warm water. After rinsing in water, let itdry in the shade. Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts because this affects their char-acteristics.
o Seat belts worn at the time of an
accident should not be reusedeven if they appear flawless, be- cause deteriorated belts cannot withstand another accident. Besure to replace the seat belt and mounting bolts with new ones.
o Never adjust the driver's seat while the vehicle is in motion.
o For technical reasons, the sec-
ond seat and third seat should not be folded down to make a bed while the vehicle is being driven.
o To protect you and your passen- gers in the event of an accident,it is most important that the seatbelts be worn correctly when you drive. o The seat belt will provide maxi-
mum protection for its wearer ifthe recliner seatback is placed in fully upright position.When the seatback is reclined, there is greater risk that the pas- senger will slide under the belt,especially in a forward impact accident, and may be injured by the belt or by striking the instru-ment panel or seatbacks.

o Children who are too large to be
in a child restraint should sit in the rear seat and be restrainedwith the available lap/shoulder belts.
o Always make sure that the shoul-
der belt portion of the outboardlap/shoulder belt is positioned midway over the shoulder, neveracross the neck. Moving the child closer to the center of the vehicle may help provide a good shoul-der belt fit. The lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the cen- ter seat lap belt must always bepositioned as low as possible on the child's hips and as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, we recommend the useof an approved booster seat inthe rear seat in order to raise the child's seating height so that the seat belt will properly fit the child.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat.o Never use an infant carrier orchild safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback; it may not pro-vide adequate security in an ac- cident.
o Never allow a child to be held in
a person's arms while they are ina moving vehicle, as this could result in serious injury to thechild in the event of an accident or a sudden stop. Holding a child in a moving vehicle does notprovide the child with any means of protection during an accident, even if the person holding thechild is wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restaint seat is not
anchored properly, the risk of achild being seriously injured or killed in a collision greatly in- creases. B230F01P-AAT Installation on Rear Seat Center Position
