✽✽NOTICE
 Both the driver's and front pas- senger's pre-tensioner seat belts
may be activated in certain frontal
or side collisions or rollovers.
 The pre-tensioners will not be acti- vated if the seat belts are not worn
at the time of the collision.
 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 non-toxic, 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-tension-
er seat belts were activated.3-point rear center seat belt
To fasten the rear center seat belt:
1. Extract the metal tab from the hole of the belt assembly cover and
slowly pull the metal tab out from
the retractor. 2. Insert the metal tab (A) into the
buckle (C). There will be an audi-
ble “click” when the tab locks into
the buckle. Make sure the belt isnot twisted.

3. Pull the metal tab (B) and insertthe it (B) into the buckle (D). There
will be an audible “click” when the
tab locks into the buckle. Makesure the belt is not twisted. The seat belt automatically adjusts tothe proper length 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 move with
you. If there is a sudden stop or
impact, the belt will lock into position.
It will also lock if you try to lean for-
ward too quickly.Using the rear center seat belt
When using the rear center seat belt,
ALWAYS use the buckle with the
CENTER mark.
OLMB033029
When using the rear seat center
belt, you must lock all metal tabs
and buckles. If any metal tab or
buckle is not locked, it will
increase the chance of injury in
the event of collision.
WARNING
Be sure the cargo is securely
loaded in the rear cargo area.
Not doing so may damage the
rear center seat belt in a suddenstop or collision.
CAUTION
OLMB033093

ALWAYS place a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat of
the vehicle.
Placing a rear-facing child
restraint in the front seat can
result in serious injury or death
if the child restraint is struck by
an inflating air bag.

3. Check that the child restraint issecurely attached to the seat by
pushing and pulling the seat for-
ward and from side-to-side.Securing a child restraint with
a lap belt or lap/shoulder belt
When not using the LATCH system,
all child restraints must be secured to
a vehicle rear seat with the lap partof a lap/shoulder belt.
Automatic lock mode
Since all passenger seat belts move
freely under normal conditions and
only lock under extreme or emer-
gency conditions (emergency locking
mode), you must manually pull the
seat belt all the way out to shift the
retractor to the “Automatic Locking”
mode to secure a child restraint.
The “Automatic Locking” mode will
help prevent the normal movement
of the child in the vehicle from caus-ing the seat belt to loosen and com-
promise the child restraint system. To
secure a child restraint system, use
the following procedure.

To install a child restraint system on
the rear seats, do the following:
1. Place the child restraint system ona rear seat and route the lap/shoul- der belt around or through the child
restraint, following the restraint
manufacturer’s instructions.
Be sure the seat belt webbing is not twisted.
✽✽ NOTICE
When using the rear center seat belt,
you should also refer to “3-point Rear
Center Seat Belt” in this chapter.
2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into the buckle. Listen for the dis-
tinct “click” sound.
✽✽ NOTICE
Position the release button so that it
is easy to access in case of an emer-
gency.
3. Pull the shoulder portion of the seat belt all the way out. When the
shoulder portion of the seat belt is
fully extended, it will shift the
retractor to the “Automatic
Locking” (child restraint) mode.

4. Slowly allow the shoulder portionof the seat belt to retract and listen
for an audible “clicking” or “ratchet-
ing” sound. This indicates that the
retractor is in the “Automatic
Locking” mode. If no distinct soundis heard, repeat steps 3 and 4. 5. Remove as much slack from the
belt as possible by pushing down
on the child restraint system while
feeding the shoulder belt back into
the retractor.
6. Push and pull on the child restraint system to confirm that the seat
belt is holding it firmly in place. If itis not, release the seat belt andrepeat steps 2 through 6.
7. Double check that the retractor is in the “Automatic Locking” mode
by attempting to pull more of the
seat belt out of the retractor. If you
cannot, the retractor is in the
“Automatic Locking” mode.
If your CRS manufacturer instructs or
recommends you to use a tetheranchor with the lap/shoulder belt,
refer to the previous pages for more
information.
✽✽ NOTICE
When the seat belt is allowed to
retract to its fully stowed position, the
retractor will automatically switch
from the “Automatic Locking” mode
to the emergency lock mode for nor-
mal adult usage.
To remove the child restraint, press
the release button on the buckle andthen pull the lap/shoulder belt out of
the restraint and allow the seat belt
to retract fully.
Safety system of your vehicle
OLMB033098If the retractor is not in the
“Automatic Locking” mode, the
child restraint can move when
your vehicle turns or stops sud-
denly. A child can be seriously
injured or killed if the child
restraint is not properly anchored
in the car, including manually
pulling the seat belt all the wayout to shift the rectractor to the
“Automatic Locking” mode.

Side impact air bags
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
impact air bag in each seat. The pur-
pose of the air bag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and the front passen-ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt alone.The side impact air bags are
designed to deploy only during certain
side impact collisions, depending on
the crash severity, angle, speed andpoint of impact. The side impact air bags do not only
deploy on the side of the impact but
also on the opposite side.
For vehicles equipped with a rollover
sensor the side and curtain air bags
on both sides of the vehicle may
deploy if a rollover or possible
rollover is detected. The side impact air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
or rollover situations.
OLMB033062
OLM032310N
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
side impact air bag, take the fol-
lowing precautions:
Seat belts must be worn at all times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
Do not allow passengers to lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects
between the doors and seats.
Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o’clock and 3 o’clock positions,
to minimize the risk of injuries
to your hands and arms.
Do not use any accessory
seat covers. This could reduce
or prevent the effectivenessof the system.
Do not place any objects over
the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself.

When the SRSCM detects a suffi-
ciently severe impact to the front of
the vehicle, it will automatically
deploy the front air bags.Upon deployment, tear seams mold-
ed directly into the pad covers will
separate under pressure from the
expansion of the air bags. Further
opening of the covers allows full
inflation of the air bags. A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly worn seat belt,
slows the driver's or the passenger's
forward motion, reducing the risk of
head and chest injury.

Driver’s front air bag (1)
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
air bag, take the following pre-cautions:
NEVER place a child restraint
in the front passenger seat.
Always properly restrain chil-
dren under age 13 in the rear
seats of the vehicle.
Adjust the front passenger’s
and driver’s seats as far to the
rear as possible while allow-
ing you to maintain full con-
trol of the vehicle.
Hold the steering wheel with
hands at the 9 o’clock and 3
o’clock positions.
Never place anything or any-
one between the air bag andthe seat occupant.
Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place their feet or legs
on the dashboard.

Proper seated position for OCS
If the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator is on when an adult is seat- ed in the front passenger seat, place
the ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF position and ask the passenger to sit
properly (sitting upright with the seat
back in an upright position, centered on the seat cushion with their seat
belt on, legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor). Restart
the engine and have the person
remain in that position. This will allowthe system to detect the person and
to enable the passenger air bag. If
the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"indicator is still on, ask the passen-
ger to move to the rear seat.
✽✽NOTICE
The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator illuminates for approxi-
mately 4 seconds after the ignition
switch is in the ON position or after
the engine is started. If the front
passenger seat is occupied, the OCS
will then classify the front passenger
after several more seconds.
B990A01O
Never allow an adult passenger
to ride in the front passenger
seat when the “PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF” indicator is illuminat-
ed. During a collision, the air bagwill not inflate if the indicator is
illuminated. Have your passen-
ger move to the rear seat.
