Head restraint
The driver's and front passenger's seats

neck in the event of a collision.
OLM039303N
WARNING
 For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the head restraint should be adjusted so
the middle of the head restraint isat the same height of the centre
of gravity of an occupant's head.
Generally, the centre of gravity ofmost people's head is similarwith the height of the top of their
eyes. Also, adjust the head
restraint as close to your head as
possible. For this reason, the use
of a cushion that holds the body
away from the seatback is notrecommended.
 Do not operate the vehicle with the head restraints removed as
severe injury to the occupants
may occur in the event of an acci-
dent. Head restraints may provide
protection against neck injuries
when properly adjusted.
 Do not adjust the head restraint position of the driver's seat
whilst the vehicle is in motion.

belt anchor to one of 4 positions for max-
imum comfort and safety. If the height of the adjusting seat belt is

der portion should be adjusted so that it
lies across your chest and midway over
your shoulder nearest the door and not
your neck.

anchor, lower or raise the height adjuster
into an appropriate position. To raise the height adjuster, pull it up (1).
To lower it, push it down (3) whilst press-
ing the height adjuster button (2).
Release the button to lock the anchor
into position. Try sliding the height
adjuster to make sure that it has lockedinto position.

WARNING
 Verify the shoulder belt anchor is locked into position at the appro-
priate height. Never position the
shoulder belt across your neck or
face. Improperly positioned seatbelts can cause serious injuriesin an accident.

sonal injury or death. Replace
your seat belts after being in an
accident as soon as possible.

WARNING
You should place the lap belt por-
tion as low as possible and snugly
across your hips, not on your waist.If the lap belt is located too high on
your waist, it may increase the
chance of injury in the event of a
collision. Both arms should not be
under or over the belt. Rather, one
should be over and the other under,
as shown in the illustration.
Never wear the seat belt under the
arm nearest the door.
