the face or neck, adjust the shoulder belt 
anchor height (window-side seating posi-
tions only) and then if necessary move the
child closer to the belt buckle to help
provide a good shoulder belt fit. Care must
be taken to securely place the lap belt as
low as possible on the hips and not on thechild ’s waist. If the shoulder portion of the
belt cannot be properly positioned, a child
restraint system should be used. Never
place the shoulder belt under the child ’s
arm or behind the child ’s back.
! Expectant mothers
Expectant mothers also need to use the 
seatbelts. They should consult their doctor
for specific recommendations. The lap belt
should be worn securely and as low as
possible over the hips, not over the waist. &
Emergency Locking Retrac- 
tor (ELR)
The driver ’s seatbelt has an Emergency
Locking Retractor (ELR). 
The emergency locking retractor allows 
normal body movement but the retractor
locks automatically during a sudden stop,
impact or if you pull the belt very quickly
out of the retractor. & Automatic/Emergency Lock- 
ing Retractor (A/ELR)
Each passenger ’s seatbelt has an Auto-
matic/Emergency Locking Retractor (A/ 
ELR). The Automatic/Emergency Locking
Retractor normally functions as an Emer-
gency Locking Retractor (ELR). The A/
ELR has an additional locking mode,“ Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode ”, intended to secure a child restraint
system. 
The ALR mode functions as follows. 
When the seatbelt is once drawn out 
completely and is then retracted even
slightly, the retractor locks the seatbelt in
that position and the seatbelt cannot be
extended. As the belt is rewinding, clicks
will be heard which indicate the retractor
functions as an ALR. When the seatbelt is
retracted fully, the ALR mode is canceled
and the ELR mode is restored. When securing a child restraint system on
the rear passenger
’s seats by using a
seatbelt, the seatbelt must be changed
over to the Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) mode. For instructions on how to
install the child restraint system using a
seatbelt, refer to “Installing child restraint
systems with A/ELR seatbelt ”F 1-34.
When the child restraint system is re-
moved, make sure that the retractor is
restored to the Emergency Locking Re-
tractor (ELR) mode by allowing the seat-
belt to retract fully.
& Seatbelt warning light 
and chime
Your vehicle is equipped with a seatbelt 
warning device at the driver ’s and front
passenger ’s seat.
With the ignition switch turned to the “ON ”
position, this device reminds the driver
and front passenger to fasten their seat-
belts by illuminating the warning lights in
the locations indicated in the following
illustrations and sounding a chime.  

2-6Keys and doors
It also helps prevent passengers 
from falling out if a door is acciden-
tally opened, and intruders from
unexpectedly opening doors and
entering your vehicle.
To lock the door from the inside, rotate the 
lock lever rearward.
To unlock the door from the inside, rotate 
the lock lever forward. 
The red mark on the lock lever appears 
when the door is unlocked. 
Pull the inside door handle to open an 
unlocked door. 
Always make sure that all doors and the 
rear gate are closed and locked before
starting to drive. &Battery drainage prevention function
If any of the doors or the rear gate is not 
completely closed, the interior lights will
remain illuminated as a result. However,
several lights are automatically turned off
by the battery drainage prevention func-
tion to prevent the battery from dischar- ging. The following interior lights are
affected by this function.

The operational/non-operational setting of 
this function can be changed by a
