Before driving
 Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.
 Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is completely extended and then
retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once
more. ( P. 90)

Pregnant women
 People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way.
Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult
size.
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
become large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (
P. 90)
 When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt, follow the instructions on P. 51 regarding seat belt usage.Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. ( P. 51)
Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the
hips in the same manner as other occu−
pants. Extend the shoulder belt com−
pletely over the shoulder and position the
belt across the chest. Avoid belt contact
over the rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not
only a pregnant woman, but also the fetus
could suffer death or serious injury as a
result of sudden braking or a collision.
