Seat belts
N00406000442

injury to the driver and passenger in the event of an accident.
Always use the provided seat belts.
Carefully review the following information for proper seat belt
usage.
WA R N I N G
!
Using the rear center seat belt with the detachable
anchor unlatched increases the risk of serious injury
or death in an accident. Make sure the detachable
anchor is properly latched.
WA R N I N G
!
To help reduce the risk of injury or death in an acci-
dent, seat belts and child restraint systems must
always be used. Refer to “Child restraint systems”
on page 2-31 for additional information.
Never use one seat belt for more than one person.
Never carry more people in your vehicle than there
are seat belts.
Always adjust the seat belt for a snug fit.
Always place the shoulder belt over your shoulder
and across your chest. Never put it behind you or
under your arm.
Always wear the lap belt as low as possible across
your hips, not around your waist.
Never modify or alter the seat belts in your vehicle.
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.

NOTE
The F.A.S.T.-key uses weak electromagnetic waves.
In cases such as the following, operation may be improper
or unstable.
• The vehicle is near a facility that emits strong electro-
magnetic waves, such as a TV transmitting tower, a
power station, a radio station or an airport
• The key is carried together with other communication
devices such as cellular phones or radios, or electrical
appliances such as computers
• The F.A.S.T.-key touches or is covered by a metal object
• A keyless entry system is being used nearby
• The battery of the F.A.S.T.-key is run down
• The vehicle is in a location with strong electromagnetic
waves or noise
Use the emergency key in such circumstances.
Refer to “To operate without using the F.A.S.T.-key” on
page 3-30.

The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception oper-
ations in its communication with the vehicle. This means
that the battery is always running down, regardless of how
often the F.A.S.T.-key is used. The battery life is about 1
to 3 years, depending on the usage conditions.

Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception
operations, the reception of strong electromagnetic waves
can accelerate the running down of the battery. Do not
place near to electrical appliances such as televisions or
computers.
Operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key
N00503200125
When a person enters the operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key
while carrying the F.A.S.T.-key and presses the driver’s or
front passenger’s door lock/unlock switch, the liftgate LOCK
switch or the liftgate OPEN switch, verification of the ID code
is performed.
The doors and the liftgate can only be locked and unlocked, the
engine can only be started and the operation mode can only be
changed when the ID codes of the vehicle and F.A.S.T.-key
match.NOTE
When the battery of the F.A.S.T.-key has run down or
there are strong electromagnetic waves or noise in the
area, the operating range could decrease or operations
could become unstable.

N00568900024
It is possible to turn off the screen of the inside rearview mirror
and change the language of the warning messages on the
screen.
CAUTION
!
The reference lines for distance and vehicle width
are intended to indicate the distance to a flat object
such as a level, flat road surface. They may not indi-
cate correct distance depending on the shape of an
obstacle.
For example, when there is an object behind the
vehicle that has upper sections projecting in the
direction of the vehicle, the reference lines on the
screen will indicate that point A is the farthest point
and point B is the closest point to the vehicle. In real-
ity, point A and B are actually the same distance
from the vehicle, and point C is farther off than
point A and B.
