sired.
To unfasten
Hold the
latch plate and push the button on the buck-
le. NOTE
l As
the belt
retracts automatically, keep hold-

E00409800338
The seat belt
warning lamp is located on the instru-
ment panel. A tone and warning lamp are used to
remind the driver to fasten the seat belt. When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, the warning
lamp will come on and a tone
will sound for about 6 seconds. If the driver’s seat
belt remains unfastened for approximately 1 mi-
nute later, the warning lamp will flash and the tone
sound intermittently (each 12 times) when the vehi-
cle is driven. If the driver subsequently unfastens
the seat belt while driving, the warning lamp and
tone will issue further warnings. And if the seat
belt remains unfastened, the warning lamp and tone
will issue further warnings each time the vehicle
starts moving from a stop. When the seat belt is fas-
tened, the warnings will stop.

How the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem works
E00407300922
The SRS includes the following components: 1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front passenger’s airbag
OFF indication lamp
3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch 5- Side airbag modules*
6- Curtain airbag modules* The
airbags
will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
The airbags deployment
produces a sudden, loud
noise, and releases some smoke and powder, but
these conditions are not injurious, and do not indi-
cate a fire in the vehicle. People with respiratory
problems may feel some temporary irritation from
chemicals used to produce the deployment; open
the windows after airbag deployment, if safe to do
so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deployment,
so there is little danger of obscured vision. CAUTION
l
Airbags inflate
at
an extremely rapid
speed. In certain situations, contact with
inflating airbags can result in abrasions,
light cuts, bruises, and the like. WARNING
l IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO BE PROP-
ERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to
the steering wheel or instrument panel
during airbag deployment can be killed
or seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great
force.
If the driver and passengers are not prop-
erly seated and restrained, the airbags
may not protect you properly, and could
cause serious or fatal injuries when it in-
flates. WARNING
l Do not sit
on the edge of the seat, or lean
head or chest close to the steering wheel
or instrument panel. Do not put feet or
legs on or against the instrument panel.
l Place all infants and small children in the
rear seat and properly restrained using
an appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for in-
fants and children. WARNING
l Infants and
small
children should never
be unrestrained, stand up against the in-
strument panel or be held in your arms
or on your lap. They could be seriously in-
jured or killed in a collision, including
when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in the rear seat in an ap-
propriate child restraint system. See the
“Child restraint” section of this owner’s
manual. Seat and seat belts

Hazard warning indication
lamps
E00501700068
These indication lamps
blink on and off
when a turn-signal lamp is operating.
NOTE
l If the blinking is too fast, the
cause may be a blown lamp bulb
or a faulty turn-signal connection.
When the hazard warning lamp switch is
pressed, all turn-signal lamps will flash
on and off continuously. High-beam indication lamp

Diesel preheat indication lamp
(diesel-powered vehicles)
E00502300146
This indication lamp
illuminates when
the ignition switch is placed in the “ON”
position. As the glow plug becomes hot,
the lamp goes out and the engine can be
started. CAUTION
l
If the
diesel
preheat indication
lamp comes on after the engine
is started, the engine speed may
not rise above the idling speed
because of fuel freezing. In this
case, keep the engine idling for
about ten minutes, then turn
off the ignition switch and im-
mediately turn it on again to
confirm that the diesel preheat
indication lamp is off.
NOTE l If
the engine
is cold, the diesel pre-
heat indication lamp is on for a lon-
ger time. l
When the
engine
has not been star-
ted within about 5 seconds after
the diesel preheat indication lamp
went out, return the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position.
Then, turn the switch to the “ON”
position to preheat the engine
again.
l When the engine is warm, the die-
sel preheat indication lamp does
not come on even if the ignition
switch is placed in the “ON” posi-
tion. Fuel filter indication lamp (die-
sel-powered vehicles)
E00509900239
This indication lamp
illuminates when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position and goes off after the engine
has started. If it lights up while the en-
gine is running, it indicates that water
has accumulated inside the fuel filter; if
this happens, remove the water from the
fuel filter. Refer to “Removal of water
from the fuel filter (diesel-powered vehi-
cles only)” on page 6-06.
When the lamp goes out, you can re-
sume driving. If it either does not go out
or comes on from time to time, we rec-
ommend you to have the vehicle inspec-
ted. Instruments and controls
