Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect you and your passengers in an accident. Seat belts are the most important safetydevice. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or death in various types of crashes. For added protec-tion during a severe frontal collision, your vehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen-
gers. The seats, head restraints, and door locks also are safety equipment, which must be used correctly. Always check the following before you drive: That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt.  That infants and small children are prop- erly secured in appropriate child restraintsystems in the rear seat.  That all doors are full
y closed and locked.
 That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.

WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident or sud- den stop, all seatbacks should be kept in the upright position while the vehicle is in motion.Seat belt performance during an accident can be adversely affected if the seatbacks are reclined. The more a seatback isreclined, the more likely seat belt perfor- mance will be adversely affected. If the seat belt is not properly positioned againstthe body during an accident, there is increased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious injury or death.

To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, adjust the head restraint height so that thecenter of the restraint is at your eye level when seated. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach their eye level when seated
should raise the restraint to the highest locked position.  To raise the restraint, pull it straight up.  To lower the restraint, push down on it while pressing the lock knob (A) in thedirection shown by the arrow.  After adjusting the height, push down on the restraint to make sure it is locked inposition.
Press the lock knob (A) in the direction shown by the arrows. Then pull the headrestraint up and out of the seatback.
First check that the head restraint is facing in the right direction as shown in the previous illustration, and then insert it into the seat-back. Push the head restraint down while pressing the lock knob (A) until the restraint locks into place.
WA R N I N G In order to minimize the risk of a neck injury due to a rear impact, the head restraint must be adjusted to the proper position before vehi
cle operation. For the
driver and front passenger, the seatbacksmust be adjusted to the upright position before adjusting the head restraints. The driver should never adjust the seat whilethe vehicle is in motion. Driving without the head restraints in place can cause you and your passengers serious injury or death in an accident. To reduce the risk of injury in an accident,always make sure the head restraints are installed and properly positioned when the seat is occupied.  Never place a cushion or similar device on the seatback. This can adversely affecthead restraint performance by increasing the distance between your head and the restraint.

The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system wheneverthe ignition switch is in the “ON” or“START” position. These include all of the items listed above and all related wiring. The pre-tensioner seat belt system will oper-ate only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate,some smoke is released and a loud noise will be heard. The smoke is not harmful, but care should be taken not to intentionally inhale it,as it may cause some temporary irritation to people with respiratory problems.
The pre-tensioners activate in the event of a moderate-to-severe frontal or side impact, even if the seat belt is not being worn. The seat belt pre-tensioners may not activate incertain types of collisions, even though the vehicle may appear to be severely damaged. Such non-activation does not mean some-thing is wrong with the seat belt pre-tensioner system, but rather that the collision forces were not severe enough or not of the type toactivate the system.

When transporting infants or small childrenin your vehicle, an appropriate child restraintsystem must always be used. This is required by law in the U.S. and Canada. Child restraint systems specifically designedfor infants and small children are offered by several manufacturers. Choose only a child restraint system with a label certifying that itcomplies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster CushionsSafety Regulations (RSSR). Look for the manufacturer’s statement of compliance on the box and child restraint system itself. The child restraint system should be appropri- ate for your child’s weight and height, and should properly fit your vehicle’s seat. For detail information, refer to the instructionmanual accompanying the child restraint sys- tem.
