WARNINGlAlways place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never put it behind you or under your arm.
l One seat belt should be used by only one
person. Doing otherwise can be danger-
ous.
l The seat belt will provide its wearer with
maximum protection if the recliner seat- back is placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined, there is
greater risk that the passenger will slide under the belt, especially in a forward im-
pact accident, and may be injured by the
belt or by striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
l Seat belts should always be worn by every
adult who drives or rides in this vehicle, and by all children who are tall enough towear seat belts properly.
Other children should always use proper child restraint systems.
l Remove any twists when using the belt.
l No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either pre- vent the seat belt adjusting devices fromoperating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to
remove slack.
l Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even
if you are wearing your seat belt. To do so risks severe or fatal injury to the child in
a collision or sudden stop.
l Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.WARNINGlAlways wear the lap portion of the belt
over your hips.3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
E00404901243
This type of belt requires no length adjust- ment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the
movement of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong shock, the belt automatical-
ly locks to hold the wearer’s body.
NOTEl You can check if the belt locks by pulling it
forward quickly.
To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while hold-
ing the latch plate.
NOTEl When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a
locked condition, pull the belts once force-
fully and then return them. After that, pull
the belts out slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle until
a “click” is heard.
WARNINGl Never wear the lap portion of the belt
across your abdomen. During accidents it
can press sharply against the abdomen and increase the risk of injury.
l The seat belts must not be twisted when
worn.
3. Pull the belt slightly to adjust slackness
as desired.

The SRS side airbag (if so equipped) is de-
signed to supplement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and front passen- ger with protection against chest injury in
certain moderate-to-severe side impact colli- sions.

The SRS curtain airbags (if so equipped) are designed to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and passenger with protection against head injuries in cer-tain moderate-to-severe side impact colli-sions.

The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat
belts; for maximum protection in all types of
crashes and accidents, seat belts should AL- WAYS be worn by everyone who drives or
rides in this vehicle.How the Supplemental Re-
straint System works
E00407302939
The SRS includes the following components:
1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication
lamp
3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch
5- Side airbag modules*
6- Curtain airbag modules*
The airbags will operate only when the igni- tion switch is in the “ON” or “START” posi-
tion.

The airbags deployment produces a sudden, loud noise, and releases some smoke and
powder, but these conditions are not injuri- ous, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
People with respiratory problems may feel some temporary irritation from chemicals
used to produce the deployment; open the
windows after airbag deployment, if safe to
do so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy- ment, so there is little danger of obscured vi-sion.CAUTIONl Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
In certain situations, contact with inflating
airbags can result in abrasions, light cuts, bruises, and the like.
Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag
4-37OVWE16E1Seat and seat belts4

The front airbags will deploy if the severityof impact is above the designed threshold
level, comparable to an approximately
25 km/h (16 mph) collision when impacting straight into a solid wall that does not move
or deform. If the severity of the impact is be- low the above threshold level, the front air- bags may not deploy. However, this thresh- old speed will be considerably higher if the
vehicle strikes an object that absorbs the im-
pact by either deforming or moving (for ex-
ample, another stationary vehicle, pole or a guard rail).
Because frontal collisions can easily move you out of position, it is important to always
properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help keep you in a safe distance from the
steering wheel and instrument panel during
the initial stages of airbag deployment. The initial stage of airbag inflation is the most
forceful, and can possibly cause serious or fa- tal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in your
vehicle are your primary means of protection in a collision. The SRS airbags are designed
to provide additional protection. Therefore,
for your safety and the safety of all occu- pants, be sure to always properly wear your
seat belts.The front airbags MAY NOT
DEPLOY when…
With certain types of frontal collisions, the
vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb the shock to help protect the occupants fromharm. (The vehicle body’s front area may de-form significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the front airbags
may not deploy irrespective of the deforma- tion and damage to the vehicle body.
Examples of some typical conditions are
shown in the illustration.
1- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other
narrow objects
2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a
truck
3- Oblique frontal impacts
Because the front airbags do not protect the
occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be
sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
The front airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY
when…
The front airbags are not designed to deploy
in conditions where they cannot typically provide protection to the occupant. Such con-ditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Rear end collisions
2- Side collisions
3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the front airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to
always properly wear your seat belts.

4-42OVWE16E1Seat and seat belts4

The side airbags and curtainairbags MAY NOT DEPLOY
when…
With certain types of side collisions, the ve-
hicle’s body structure is designed to absorb
the shock to help protect the occupants fromharm. (The vehicle body’s side area may de-form significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy irrespec-tive of the deformation and damage to the ve-
hicle body. Also, depending on the location
of the impact, the side airbags and curtain air-
bags may not deploy simultaneously.
Examples of some typical conditions are
shown in the illustration.
1- Side impacts in an area away from the passenger compartment
2- Motorcycle or other similar small vehi- cle collides with the side of vehicle
3- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow object
4- Oblique side impacts
5- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags
do not protect the occupant in all types of side collisions, be sure to always properlywear your seat belts.
The side airbags and curtain
airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The side airbags and curtain airbags are notdesigned to deploy in conditions where they
cannot usually provide protection to the oc- cupant. Typical conditions are shown in the
illustration.
1- Head-on collisions
2- Rear end collisions
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly wearyour seat belts.

l The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
the following manner when brake perform-
ance has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal harder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal moves down to
the very end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking
to reduce your speed and pull the parking
brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.NOTEl In certain cases immediately after the engine
has been started or when the brake pedal is
depressed repeatedly, a noise generated by operation of brake devices may be heard coming from the engine compartment. At
this time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you depress it. This type of
noise or shock is normal and there is no need for concern. In fact, they indicate that the
corresponding devices are operating normal- ly.
l The brake system uses brake fluid pressur-
ized by the pump.
