Seat belt instructions
N00406200444
All seats are equipped with a seat belt which uses one com-
bined lap-and-shoulder belt with an emergency locking retrac-
tor.
This system is designed to provide both comfort and safety. It
permits full extension and automatic retraction of the belts dur-
ing normal vehicle operation. A sensing device inside the belt
retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sud-
den change in the vehicle’s motion.NOTE
For instructions on installing a child restraint system using
a seat belt, refer to “Installing a child restraint system
using the seat belt” on page 2-57.1. Occupants should always sit back in their seats with their
backs against the upright seatback. To reduce the risk of
serious injury or death during deployment of the air bag,
adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while main-
taining a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely oper-
ate the vehicle. The front passenger seat should also be
moved as far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) - air bag” on page 2-61. Also
refer to “To adjust the seat forward or backward” on page
2-7.

!
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.

Storing a second row seat belt buckle
N00406600073
When a second row seat belt is not in use, insert the buckle in
the slit on the seat cushion.
Seat belt extender
N00406700191
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
!
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.

N00406800134
Seat belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like
all occupants, pregnant women are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed in an accident if they do not wear seat belts.
Seat belt pre-tensioner and force limiter
systems
N00417700582
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats each have a seat belt
equipped with a pre-tensioner system.Pre-tensioner systemThe driver and front passenger seat belts are equipped with a
seat belt pre-tensioner system. In a moderate-to-severe frontal
or side collision or when a rollover or overturning of the vehi-
cle is detected, the pre-tensioner system operates simulta-
neously with the deployment of the front airbags, side airbags
or curtain airbags.
The seat belt pre-tensioners are located in the driver’s and front
passenger’s seat belt retractors (A) and in the driver seat’s final
anchor (B). When activated, the pre-tensioners quickly draw
back seat belt webbing and increase seat belt performance.
WA R N I N G
!
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to preg-
nant women and unborn children in an accident,
pregnant women should always wear a seat belt. The
lap portion of the seat belt should be worn snug and
low across the hips and below the rounding. Consult
your doctor if you have any additional questions or
concerns.

2. Push the anchor connectors on the child restraint system
(A) into the slits (B) in accordance with the instructions
provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.
Remember, the lower anchors (E) provided with your
vehicle are designed to secure suitable child restraint sys-
tems compatible with the LATCH system in the outboard
positions of the second row seats only. The anchor con-
nectors are NOT designed to secure a suitable child
restraint system in the center position of the second row
seat.
NOTE
In order to secure a child restraint system compatible with
the LATCH system, use the lower anchor points in the
outboard positions of the rear seat. It is not necessary to
use the vehicle’s seat belt. The vehicle’s seat belt, how-
ever, MUST be used to secure a child restraint system in
the center position of the second row seat.

!
If there is any foreign material in or around the
lower anchors, remove it before installing the child
restraint system. Also, make sure the seat belt is
away from, not looped through or otherwise inter-
fering with, the child restraint system. If foreign
matter is not removed and/or the seat belt interferes
with the child restraint system, the child restraint
system will not be secured properly, could detach
and move forward in the event of sudden braking or
an accident, and could result in injury to the child or
other vehicle occupants.
When the vehicle is moving, do not adjust the seat
where the child restraint system is installed.
