Front seat adjustment
The front seat can be adjusted by
using the control switch located on
the doors. Before driving, adjust theseat to the proper position so as to
easily control the steering wheel,
pedals and switches on the instru-ment panel.
WARNING
The power seat is operable with
the engine start/stop button in
OFF.
Therefore, children should
never be left unattended in the
vehicle.
WARNING
Do not adjust the seat while wearing seat belts. Moving the
seat cushion forward may
cause strong pressure on theabdomen.
Use extreme caution so that hands or other objects are not
caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.
Do not put a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat. When you
operate the seat, gas maygush out of the lighter and
cause fire.
If there are occupants in the rear seats, be careful while
adjusting the front seat posi-tion.(Continued)
Do not allow anything to inter-fere with the normal position of
the seatback. Storing items
against a seatback or in any
other way interfering with prop-
er locking of a seatback could
result in serious or fatal injury
in a sudden stop or collision.
Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap
portion of the seat belt snug
and low across the hips. This
is the best position to protect
you in case of an accident.
In order to avoid unnecessary and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back
as possible from the steeringwheel while maintaining com-
fortable control of the vehicle.
We recommend that your chest
be at least 250 mm (10 inches)
away from the steering wheel.

seat belt warning light blinks again
for approximately 6 seconds.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition switch is turned ON

ver’s seat belt warning lights will illu-
minate for approximately 6 seconds
each time you turn the ignition switch
ON regardless of belt fastening.
If the driver’s seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition switch is turned ONor if it is disconnected after the igni-
tion switch is turned ON, the seat
belt warning light will illuminate until

belt and you drive over 9 km/h, the
illuminated warning light will start to
blink until you drive under 6 km/h.
If you continue not to fasten the seat
belt and you drive over 20 km/h (12

onds and the corresponding warning

Lap/shoulder belt
To fasten your seat belt:
To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of
the retractor and insert the metal tab
(1) into the buckle (2). There will be
an audible "click" when the tab locks
into the buckle.The seat belt automatically adjusts tothe proper length only after the lap
belt portion is adjusted manually so
that it fits snugly around your hips. If
you lean forward in a slow, easy
motion, the belt will extend and let
you move around. If there is a sud-
den stop or impact, however, the belt
will lock into position. It will also lock
if you try to lean forward too quickly.

The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
✽✽
NOTICE
 Both the driver's and front pas- senger's pre-tensioner seat belts
may be activated in certain frontal
collisions.
 When the pre-tensioner seat belts are activated, a loud noise may be
heard and fine dust, which may
appear to be smoke, may be visible
in the passenger compartment.
These are normal operating condi-
tions and are not hazardous.
 Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and
should not be breathed for pro-
longed periods. Wash all exposed
skin areas thoroughly after an
accident in which the pre-tensioner
seat belts were activated.
 Because the sensor that activates the SRS air bag is connected with
the pre-tensioner seat belt, the
SRS air bag warning light on
the instrument panel will illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds
after the ignition switch has been
turned to the ON position, and
then it should turn off.WARNING
To obtain maximum benefit
from a pre-tensioner seat belt:
1. The seat belt must be worn correctly and adjusted to the
proper position. Please read
and follow all of the important
information and precautions
about your vehicle’s occu-
pant safety features – includ-
ing seat belts and air bags –
that are provided in this man-ual.
2. Be sure you and your passen- gers always wear seat belts
properly.

Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always
occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap/shoulder belts. The lap
portion should be fastened and
snugged on the hips and as low as
possible. Check periodically if belt
fits. A child's squirming could put the
belt out of position. Children are
given the most safety in the event of
an accident when they are restrained
by a proper restraint system in the
rear seat. If a larger child (over age
12) must be seated in the front seat,the child should be securely
restrained by the available lap/shoul-der belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position.Children age 12 and under should be
restrained securely in the rear seat.NEVER place a child age 12 and
under in the front seat. NEVER place
a rear facing child seat in the front
seat of a vehicle. If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, tryplacing the child closer to the center
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck they need
to be returned to a child restraint sys-tem.
Restraint of pregnant women
Pregnant women should wear
lap/shoulder belt assemblies when-
ever possible according to specific
recommendations by their doctors.
The lap portion of the belt should be
worn AS SNUGLY AND LOW AS
POSSIBLE on the hips, not a crossthe abdomen.
WARNING
- Shoulder
belts on small children
Never allow a shoulder belt to be in contact with a child’s
neck or face while the vehicleis in motion.
If seat belts are not properly worn and adjusted on chil-
dren, there is a risk of death or
serious injury.

place the lap portion of the
safety belt over the area of the
abdomen where the fetus is
