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.

N00508700314
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 equipped 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. These would have a detrimental effect on the engine and also cause increased fuel andoil consumption, which could result in malfunction 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 6-10).  Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.

WA R N I N G Individuals who use implantable pace- makers or implantable cardioverter-defi- brillators should keep away from theexternal and internal
transmitters. The
electromagnetic waves used in the F.A.S.T.-key may affect the operation ofimplantable pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
A- External transmitter B- Internal transmitterWA R N I N G Individuals using other electrical medical apparatuses besides implantable pace- makers and implantable cardioverter- defibrillators should check with the manu- facturer of the apparatus to confirm the effect of the electromagnetic waves usedby the F.A.S.T.-key. The electromagnetic waves may affect the operations of the electro-medical apparatus.
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 TVtransmitting tower, a power station, a radio station or an airport • The key is carried together with other com- munication devices such as cellular phones or radios, or electrical appliances such ascomputers • 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

 Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously for longer than 15 seconds as thiscould run the battery down or damage the starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition switch back to the“LOCK” position, wait a few seconds, and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the engine or starter motor still turningwill damage the starter mechanism.
 If the engine will not start because the bat- tery is weak or discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” on page 8-2 for instructions. [Except for vehicles equipped with the turbocharger] The engine is warmed up enough for driv-ing when the bar graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to move. A lon- ger warm up period will only consumeextra fuel. [For vehicles equipped with the turbo- charger] The engine is warmed up enough for driv-ing when the bar graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to move. Driv- ing before the bar graph moves may causedeterioration of turbocharger performance and driveability. A longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel. On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the following may occur after the engine is started, but they do not indi-cate an abnormality. • You may hear operational sounds of the Twin Clutch SST and you may feelvibration in the vehicle body. • If you shift the gearshift lever into the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and depressthe accelerator pedal, increases in the engine speed will be limited.
