Seat belts
E00404800072
To protect you and your passengers in theevent of an accident, it is most important thatthe seat belts are worn correctly while driv-
ing.

conventional seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force limiter system” on page 4-25.
Seat belts
4-21OVWE16E1Seat and seat belts4

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.

lamp
E00409800338
The seat belt warning lamp is located on the
instrument panel. A tone and warning lamp
are used to remind the driver to fasten the seat belt.

position, the warning lamp will come on and
a tone will sound for about 6 seconds. If the
driver’s seat belt remains unfastened for ap-
proximately 1 minute later, the warning lamp will flash and the tone sound intermittently
(each 12 times) when the vehicle is driven. If the driver subsequently unfastens the seat belt while driving, the warning lamp and tone
will issue further warnings. And if the seat
belt remains unfastened, the warning lamp and tone will issue further warnings each time the vehicle starts moving from a stop.
