Safety Checklist
■
For the safety of you and your passenger, make a habit of checking these items each time before you drive.
After everyone has entered the vehicle, be sure both doors and the hatch are
●
closed and locked. Locking the doors and the hatch helps prevent an occupant from being ejected and an outsider from unexpectedly opening a door or the hatch.
Locking/Unlocking Doors from Inside P.1 0 2
Adjust your seat to a position suitable for driving. Be sure the seats are adjusted
●
as far to the rear as possible while allowing the driver to control the vehicle. Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious or fatal injury in a crash.
Adjusting the Seats P.11 9
Always wear your seat belt, and make sure you wear it properly. Confirm that
●
any passenger is properly belted as well.
Fastening the Seat Belts P. 3 7
If you choose to ignore our warnings and carry a child in this vehicle, make every
●
effort to protect them by properly using a seat belt or a child seat according to the child’s age, height, and weight.
Child Safety P. 5 6
Safety Checklist

About Your Seat Belts
Seat belts are the single most effective safety device because they keep you connected to the vehicle so that you can take advantage of many built-in safety features. They also help keep you from being thrown against the inside of the vehicle, against a passenger, or out of the vehicle. When worn properly, seat belts also keep your body properly positioned in a crash so that you can take full advantage of the additional protection provided by the airbags. In addition, seat belts help protect you in almost every type of crash, including:frontal impacts
-
side impacts
-
rear impacts
-
rollovers
-
Lap/Shoulder Seat Belts
■
Both seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts with emergency locking retractors. In normal driving the retractor lets you move freely while keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop the retractor locks to restrain your body. The passenger’s seat belt has a lockable retractor that must be properly activated when using a forward-facing child seat, should you choose to disregard our recommendations and install one.

About Your Seat Belts
Seat belts cannot completely protect you in every crash. But in most cases, seat belts can reduce your risk of serious injury. Most states and all Canadian provinces and territories require you to wear seat belts.
WARNING
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash, even though your vehicle has airbags. Be sure you and your passenger always wear seat belts and wear them properly.

Seat Belts About Your Seat Belts
Proper Use of Seat Belts
■
Follow these guidelines for proper use:
All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that position

●
for the duration of the trip. Slouching or leaning reduces the effectiveness of the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a crash. Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or

●
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very

●
seriously injured in a crash.Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improve

●
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash. Seat Belt Reminder

■
Your vehicle monitors seat belt use. If the ignition switch is turned to ON
II before the
driver’s seat belt is fastened, a beeper will sound and the indicator will blink. If the driver does not fasten the belt before the beeper stops, the indicator will remain on. The beeper will also periodically sound and the indicator will blink while driving until the driver’s and passenger’s seat belts are fastened.
About Your Seat Belts
If your passenger moves around and extends the seat belt, the lockable retractor may activate. If this happens, release the retractor by unfastening the seat belt and allow the belt to retract completely. Then refasten the belt.
Seat Belt Reminder
The indicator will also come on if a passenger does not fasten their seat belt within 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to ON
. When no one
is sitting in the passenger's seat, or a child or small adult is riding there, the indicator will not come on. This is because the weight sensor in the seat cannot detect their presence.

Child Safety Protecting Child Passengers
Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt must be properly restrained in

●
an approved child seat that is properly secured to the vehicle using the lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt. Never hold a small child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them in

●
the event of a collision.Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt would

●
likely press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries.Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be very

●
seriously injured in a crash.Do not allow children to operate the doors, windows or seat adjustments.

●
Do not leave children in the vehicle unattended, especially in hot weather when

●
the inside of the vehicle can get hot enough to kill them. They could also activate vehicle controls causing it to move unexpectedly.
Protecting Child Passengers
To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat belt to wind up all the way. To remind you of the passenger's front airbag hazards and child safety, your vehicle has warning labels on the dashboard (U.S. models) and on the front visors. Please read and follow the instructions on these labels.
Safety Labels P. 6 5
WARNING
Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or wrap one around their neck can result in serious injury or death. Instruct children not to play with any seat belt and make sure any unused seat belt a child can reach is buckled, fully retracted, and locked.

Installing a Child Seat
■
1. Move the passenger seat to the rearmost position.Place the child seat on the passenger seat.
2.
Route the seat belt through the child seat
3.
according to the seat maker’s instructions, and insert the latch plate into the buckle.
Insert the latch plate fully until it clicks.
4. Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all
the way out until it stops. This activates the lockable retractor.Let the seat belt wind up to remove the
5.
slack and then try to pull it out to make sure it is locked and does not come out.
If you are able to pull the shoulder belt out, the lockable retractor is not activated. Pull the seat belt all the way out, and repeat steps 3 – 5.
6. Grab the shoulder part of the seat belt near the buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt.
When doing this, place your weight
on the child seat and push it into the vehicle seat.
Installing a Child Seat
All child seats must be secured to the vehicle with the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt. For your child's safety, when using a child seat installed using the vehicle's seat belt system, check that the seat is properly secured to the vehicle.

7. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by rocking it forward and back and side to side; little movement should be felt.
Adding Security with a Tether

■
A tether anchorage point is provided behind the passenger seat. A child seat with a tether can be installed, so long as the base of the child seat is secured using a seat belt.
Route the tether strap through the head
1.
restraint legs. Make sure the strap is not twisted. Secure the tether strap hook onto the
2.
anchor. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by
3.
the child seat manufacturer.
Installing a Child Seat with a Seat Belt
A child seat that is not properly secured will not
adequately protect a child in a crash and may cause injury to the child or another vehicle occupant. To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat belt to wind up all the way.
Adding Security with a Tether
Since a tether can provide additional security to the lap/shoulder seat belt installation, we recommend using a tether whenever one is available.
