Record your driving position to button 1, 2 or 3 before performing the fol-
lowing:

ckward position, and the seat is
being moved in those directions, the syst em may not correctly recognize the cur-

ve back the set distance 
(  P. 5 7 2

Seat belt pretensioners (front and outside rear seats)
The pretensioner helps the seat
belt to quickly restrain the occu -
pant by retracting the seat belt
when the v

ehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal colli -
sion.
The pretensioner may not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a side impact or a rear
impact.
Pre-collision seat belts (front seats of vehicles with pre-collision system)
If the pre-collision sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the pre-
collision system will retract the seat be lt, contributing to improvement of
the passenger’s protection.
The same will happen if the driver ma kes an emergency braking or loses con-
trol of the vehicle. ( P. 2 3 2 )
■Adjusting the seat belt shoulder anchor height (front seats)
Push the seat belt shoulder
anchor down while pressing
the r

elease button.
Push the seat belt shoulder
anchor up.
Move the height adjuster up and
down as needed until you hear a
click.

■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
sli
ghtly, 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. 1 2 4 )
■Pregnant women
■People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. ( P.
7 3 )
■Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally desig
ned for persons of adult size.
●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. ( P. 1 2 0 )
●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt,
follow the instructions on P. 7 3 regarding seat belt usage.
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt
in the proper way. ( P. 7 3 )
Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the hips in
the same manner as other occupants. Extend
the shoulder belt completely over the shoul-
der 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
the pregnant woman, but also the fetus could
suffer death or serious injury as a result of
sudden braking or a collision.
