sibility for front seat pas-
senger
Driving or riding in a vehicle with a
front seatback reclined could lead
to serious or fatal injury in an acci-
dent. If a front seat is reclined dur-
ing an accident, the occupant’s hips
may slide under the lap portion of
the safety belt applying great force
to the unprotected abdomen or
neck. Serious or fatal internal
injuries could result. Keep the seat-
backs in a comfortably upright

3Pre-tensioner seat belt
(if equipped)Your vehicle is equipped with driver's and
front passenger's pre-tensioner safety
belts. The purpose of the pre-tensioner
is to make sure that excess slack is taken
up in certain frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioner seat belts will activate together
with the air bags, where the frontal colli-
sion is severe enough. 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) Seatbelt pre-tensioner assembly
(3) SRS air bag control moduleSAFETY BELTS

CAUTION
Both the driver's and front passen-
ger's pre-tensioner seat belts will be activated in certain frontal colli-sions. The pre-tensioner seat beltscan be activated, where the frontalcollision is severe enough, togetherwith the air bag. The pre-tensioners will be activated under these condi-tions even if there is no one on the seat at the time of the collision.

Knowing your vehicle
Restraint of larger children As children grow, they may need to use
new child-restraint systems, including
larger child seats or booster seats, which
are appropriate for their increased size.
A child who has outgrown available child-
restraint systems should use the belts
provided in the vehicle. When seated in
the rear outboard seats, the child should
be restrained by the lap/shoulder belt.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly touch-
es the child’s neck or face, try placing the
child closer to the center of the vehicle. If
the shoulder belt still touches their face
or neck they need to be returned to a
child restraint system. In addition, after-
market devices are available from inde-
pendent manufacturers which help pull
the shoulder belt down and away from
the child’s face or neck.
WARNING
- Infants and
young children
Infants and young children are at
much greater risk of serious
injury or death in an accident or
sudden stop if they are unre-
strained or restrained improperly.
Follow all instructions in this sec-
tion and the instructions that
came with an approved child
safety system. The child restraint
must be correctly installed in the
vehicle, and the child must be
correctly placed in the child
restraint.
All children under 12 are safest in the back seat.
Never install a rear facing infant seat in the front passenger posi-
tion. The baby will be injured or
killed by the air bag if it deploys.
Never allow a child to stand or kneel on the seat of a moving
vehicle.
WARNING
- Children onlaps
Never hold a child on your lap or in
your arms in a moving vehicle.
Even a very strong person cannot
hold onto a child in the event of
even a minor collision.
CAUTION
- Hot metal parts
Safety belts and seats can become
hot in a vehicle that has beenclosed during warm/hot weather; they could burn a child. Checkseats, seatbelt webbing and buck-les before you place a child any-where near them.
WARNING
- Shoulder belts
on small children
Never allow a shoulder belt to be
in contact with a child’s neck or
face while the vehicle is in motion.
If safety belts are not properly worn and adjusted, there is a risk
of death or serious injury to such
a child.

3What your air bag system doesDriver’s air bag and front passenger’s air
bag are designed to supplement the pro-
tection offered by the safety belt in cer-
tain frontal collisions. Likewise, side air
bag and curtain air bags are designed to
supplement the protection offered by the
safety belt in side collisions. Safety belts
are designed to reduce the injury of the
driver or passengers in case of light
impact or collision. No safety belt or air
bag system can completely eliminate
injuries that may cause in collisions or
impacts. To help reduce impact on driver
or passengers in any collision, safety
belts must be correctly worn.What your air bag system does
not doThe air bag system is designed to sup-
plement the protection offered by the
safety belt system. IT IS NOT A SUBSTI-
TUTE FOR THE SAFETY BELT.
The importance of using
safety beltsThere are four very important reasons to
use safety belts even with an air bag sup-
plemental restraint system. They:
help keep you in the proper position
(away from the air bag) when it inflates.
reduce the risk of harm in rollover, side impact (vehicles not equipped with
side and curtain air bags) or rear
impact collisions, because an air bag is
not designed to inflate in such situa-
tions and even a side curtain air bag is
designed to inflate only in certain side
impact collisions.
reduce the risk of harm in frontal or side collisions which are not severe
enough to actuate the air bag supple-
mental restraint system.
reduce the risk of being ejected from your vehicle. Your vehicle’s Supplemental Restraint
System Control Module is equipped
with a recording device that may
record the use or status of the safety
belt restraint system by the driver and
front passenger in certain collisions.
WARNING
- Air bags &
safety belts
Even in vehicles with air bags,
you and your passengers must
always wear the safety belts pro-
vided in order to minimize the risk
and severity of injury in the event
of a collision or rollover.
Always wear your safety belt. It can help keep you away from the
air bags during heavy braking
just before a collision. It may also
reduce the risk of occupant ejec-
tion.
If occupants are not wearing safe- ty belts or correctly seated, they
cannot be fully protected, and
thus face a greater risk of serious
injury or death.
