2 Seats and restraint systems
N00401600182
Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect
you and your passengers in an accident.
Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn
properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or
death in various types of crashes. For added protection during a
severe frontal collision, your vehicle has a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen-
gers. The seats, head restraints, and door locks also are safety
equipment, which must be used correctly.
Always check the following before you drive:
That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their
seat belt.
That infants and small children are properly secured in
appropriate child restraint systems in the rear seat.
That all doors are fully closed and locked.
That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly
adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor
vehicle accidents. You can help reduce the risk of injury or
death, however, by following the instructions in this manual.
Front seats
N00401800302
Position the driver’s seat as far back as possible while main-
taining a position that still enables you to fully apply the ped-

Do not attempt to adjust the seat while driving. This
can cause loss of vehicle control and result in an
accident.
After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is
securely locked into position.
To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death during deployment of the driver’s airbag,
always properly wear the seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintain-
ing a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely
operate the vehicle.
To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious
injury or death during deployment of the passen-
ger’s airbag, always properly wear the seat belt and
adjust the front passenger’s seat as far back as pos-
sible.
Always place children 12 years old and under in the
rear seat and use appropriate child restraint sys-
tems.
CAUTION
!
Make sure that the seat is adjusted by an adult. If it
is adjusted by a child, an unexpected accident might
occur.
Do not place a cushion or the like between your back
and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of
the head restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
When sliding the seats, be careful not to catch your
hand or leg.
When sliding or reclining the seat rearward, pay
careful attention to the rear seat passengers.

Driver’s seat belt reminder/warning light and
display
N00418400326
Warning light
Warning display
A tone and warning light are used to remind the driver to fasten
the seat belt.
If the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position without the
driver’s seat belt being fastened, a warning light will come on
and a tone will sound for approximately 6 seconds to remind
you to fasten your seat belt.
If you then drive with the seat belt unfastened for longer than a
minute from when the ignition switch was turned to the “ON”
position, the warning light will come on and blink repeatedly
and the tone will sound intermittently.
The warning light and the tone will stop after approximately 90
seconds.If you then repeatedly stop and start your vehicle with the seat
belt unfastened, the warning light/display and tone will remind
you to fasten your seat belt every time the vehicle starts mov-
ing. You will also be reminded to fasten your seat belt in this
way when you remove your seat belt while driving. The warn-
ing light and the tone go off when the seat belt is fastened.
NOTE
At the same time, “FASTEN SEAT BELT” will be dis-
played on the information screen in the multi-information
display.
WA R N I N G
!
In order to reduce the risk of serious injury or death
in an accident, always wear your own seat belt. Do
not allow anyone to ride in your vehicle unless he or
she is also seated and wearing a seat belt. Children
should additionally be restrained in a secure child
restraint system.

Seat belt extender
N00406700087
When your seat belt, even fully extended, is not long enough, a
seat belt extender must be obtained. The extender may be used
for either of the front seats.
WA R N I N G
!
Always adjust the shoulder belt anchor so that the
shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your
shoulder without touching your neck. The shoulder
belt should not be able to fall off your shoulder. Fail-
ure to follow this instruction can adversely affect
seat belt performance and increase the risk of seri-
ous injury or death in the event of an accident.
Adjust the shoulder belt anchor only when the vehi-
cle is not in motion.
Make sure the anchor is securely locked in position
after adjusting it.
WA R N I N G
!
The extender should only be used if the existing belt
is not long enough. Anyone who can use the stan-
dard seat belt should not use an extender. Unneces-
sary use of an extender can adversely affect seat belt
performance in an accident.
When not required, the extender must be removed
and stowed.
