warning light will blink for approximately

mately 6 seconds.

Lap/shoulder belt
To fasten your seat belt:
To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab (1) into
the buckle (2). There will be an audible
"click" when the tab locks into the buckle. The seat belt automatically adjusts to the proper length only after the lap belt por-
tion is adjusted manually so that it fits
snugly around your hips. If you lean for-
ward in a slow, easy motion, the belt will
extend and let you move around. If there
is a sudden stop or impact, however, the
belt will lock into position. It will also lock
if you try to lean forward too quickly.
✽✽
NOTICE
If you are not able to pull out the seat
belt from the retractor, firmly pull the
belt out and release it. Then you will be
able to pull the belt out smoothly.

C020200BEN-UK Pre-tensioner seat belt (if equipped)
The vehicle is equipped with driver and
front passenger pre-tensioner seat belts.The pre-tensioner function ensures thatthe seat belts fit tightly against the occu-
pant under certain impact conditions. If
the severity of impact or the angle ofimpact is such that the airbags or pre-
tensioners will not provide additionaloccupant protection, the system will not
deploy. If the occupant tries to lean for-
ward too quickly, the seat belt retractor
will lock into position. Under impact or
braking conditions, seat belt retractor will
lock. Depending upon the severity and
angle of impact, the pre-tensioner may
activate and will pull the seat belt intotighter contact against the occupant. The seat belt pre-tensioner system con-
sists mainly of the following components.
Their locations are shown in the illustra-tion:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module

If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-
es the child’s neck or face, try placing the
child closer to the centre of the vehicle. If
the shoulder belt still touches their face
or neck they need to be returned to a
child restraint system. C020302AUN-UKPregnant women
The use of a seat belt is recommended
for pregnant women. The seat belt should
be worn as low and snugly as possible
across the hips, not across the abdomen.
A qualified Medical Practitioner should
be consulted for further information.
C020303AUN-UK
Injured person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported. For
specific recommendations, the advice of
a qualified Medical Practioner should besought.
C020304AUN-UK
One person per belt
The seat belts are designed to be used
by one seat occupant only. The use of a
seat belt by more than one person
increases the levels of injury which may
be sustained in the event of an accident.C020305AUN
Do not lie down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the event
of an accident and to achieve maximum
effectiveness of the restraint system, all pas-sengers should be sitting up and the front
and rear seats should be in an upright posi-
tion when the car is moving. A seat belt can-
not provide proper protection if the person is
lying down in the rear seat or if the front andrear seats are in a reclined position.
WARNING
- Shoulder belts
on small children
Never allow a shoulder belt to be in contact with a child’s neck or
face whilst the vehicle is inmotion.
If seat belts are not properly worn and adjusted on children, there is
a risk of death or serious injury.
WARNING
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious or
fatal injuries in the event of a colli-
sion or sudden stop. The protection
of your restraint system (seat belts
and air bags) is greatly reduced by
reclining your seat. Seat belts must
be snug against your hips and
chest to work properly. The more
the seatback is reclined, the greater
the chance that an occupant's hipswill slide under the lap belt causingserious internal injuries or the
occupant's neck could strike the
shoulder belt. Drivers and passen-
gers should always sit well back in
their seats, properly belted, andwith the seat backs upright.

WARNING
To reduce the chance or serious or fatal injuries:
Children of all ages are safer when restrained in the rear seat.
A child riding in the front passen-
ger seat can be forcefully struck
by an inflating air bag resulting inserious or fatal injuries.
Always follow the child restraint system manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for installation and use of
the child restraint.
Always make sure the child seat is secured properly in the car and
your child is securely restrained
in the child seat.
Never hold a child in your arms or lap when riding in a vehicle. The
violent forces created during a
crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against
the car’s interior.
Never put a seat belt over your- self and a child. During a crash,the belt could press deep into the
child causing serious internalinjuries.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never leave children unattendedin a vehicle – not even for a short
time. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in serious
injuries to children inside. Even
very young children may inadver-
tently cause the vehicle to move,entangle themselves in the win-
dows, or lock themselves or oth-
ers inside the vehicle.
Never allow two children, or any two persons, to use the sameseat belt.
Children often squirm and repo- sition themselves improperly.
Never let a child ride with theshoulder belt under their arm or
behind their back. Always prop-
erly position and secure childrenin rear seat.
Never allow a child to stand-up or kneel on the seat or floor of a
moving vehicle. During a colli-
sion or sudden stop, the child
can be violently thrown against
the vehicles interior, resulting in
serious injury.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never use an infant carrier or achild safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro-vide adequate security in an acci-dent.
Seat belts can become very hot, especially when the car is parked
in direct sunlight. Always check
seat belt buckles before fasten-
ing them over a child.
