a stuck position, be sure that no one is
near the vehicle. The rocking motion may c
ause the vehicle to
suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders. Avoid revving the engine or spinning the

Seat belts work for ev
eryone, including preg-
nant women. Like all occupants, pregnantwomen are more likely to be seriously injured or killed in an accident if they do not wear seat belts.
N00417700609
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats eachhave a seat belt equipped with a pre-tensioner system.
The driver and front passenger seat belts are equipped with a seat belt pre-tensioner sys-tem. In a moderate-to-severe frontal or side collision, the pre-tensioner system operates simultaneously with the deployment of thefront airbags or side airbags and curtain air- bags. The seat belt pre-tensioners are located withinthe seat belt retractors (A). When activated,the pre-tensioners quickly draw back seat belt webbing and increase seat belt performance. The seat belt pre-tensioner system includes the following components:
Seat belt extender
WA R N I N G The extender should only be used if the existing belt is not long enough. Anyonewho can use the standard seat belt should not use an extender. Unnecessary use of an extender can adversely affect seat beltperformance in an accident. When not required, the extender must be removed and stowed.
Seat belt use during preg- nancy
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to pregnant women and unbornchildren in an accident, pregnant women should always wear a seat belt. The lap portion of the seat belt should be wornsnug and low across the hips and below the rounding. Consult your doctor if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Advanced automobile manufacturing tech- niques permit you to operate your new vehi-cle without requiring a long break-in period of low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future perfor-mance and economy of your vehicle by observing the following precautions during the first 300 miles (500 km).Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds duringthe break-in period.  Avoid revving the engine. For vehicles with turbocharger, do not exceed 5,000 rpm for the first 600 miles (1,000 km). Avoid rough driving such as fast starts, sudden acceleration, prolonged high- speed driving and sudden braking. Thesewould have a detrimental effect on the engine and also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, which could result inmalfunction of the engine components. Be particularly careful to avoid full accelera- tion while in low gear. Do not overload the vehicle. Observe the seating capacity (See “Cargo load precau- tions” on page 6-11). Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.

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 passen-ger’s door lock/unlock switch or the trunk lid OPEN switch, verification of the ID code is performed.The F.A.S.T.-key enables the doors to be locked and unlocked, the trunk lid to be opened and the engine to be started only
when the ID codes of the vehicle and F.A.S.T.-key match. The operating range is within about 2.3 feet (70 cm) of the driver’s and front passenger’s door lock/unlock switches, and the center of the trunk lid.
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 electromagnetic waves, such as a TV transmitting tower, a power station, a radiostation or an airport • The key is carried together with other com- munication 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 circum- stances. Refer to “To operate using the emergency key” on page 5-23.  The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception operations in its communication with the vehicle. This means that the batteryis 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 theusage conditions.  Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly perform- ing reception operations, the reception of strong electromagnetic waves can accelerate the running down of the battery. Do not placenear electrical appliances such as televisions or computers.
