Safe Driving
■Proper use of seat belts
Follow these guidelines  for proper use:
• All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that position 
for the duration of the trip.  Slouching and leaning reduc e the effectiveness of the 
belt and can increase the chance  of serious injury in a crash.
• Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or 
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
• Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very 
seriously injured in a crash.
• Do not put any accessories on the seat be lts. Devices intended to improve comfort 
or reposition the shoulder part of a seat be lt can reduce the protective capability 
and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
Your vehicle monitors front seat belt use. If 
the ignition switch is turned to ON 
(w*1 
before the driver’s seat belt is fastened, the 
beeper will sound and the indicator will blink. 
If the driver does not fasten the belt before 
the beeper stops, the indicator will remain on.
The beeper will periodically sound and the 
indicator will blink while driving until the 
driver’s and/or the front passenger’s seat belt 
is fastened.
*1: Models with the smart entry system have an  ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an 
ignition switch.
■Seat Belt Reminder
1 About Your Seat Belts
If a rear seat passenger moves around and extends 
the seat belt, the lockable retractor may activate. If 
this happens, release the  retractor by unfastening the 
seat belt and allow the belt to retract completely. 
Then refasten the belt.
1 Seat Belt Reminder
The indicator will also come on if a front passenger 
does not fasten their seat belt within six seconds after 
the ignition switch is turned to ON 
(w*1.
When no one is sitting in th e front passenger’s seat, 
the indicator will not come  on and the beeper will not 
sound.
The indicator also may no t come on and the beeper 
may not sound when the occupant is not heavy 
enough to trigger the weight  sensor. Such occupants 
(e.g., infants and smaller  children) should be moved 
to the rear seat as a deploying front airbag likely will 
injure or kill them. 2 Protecting Child Passengers  P. 57

Safe Driving
Types of Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped wi th three types of airbags:
• Front airbags: Airbags in front of the driver’s and front passenger’s seats.
• Side airbags:  Airbags in the driver’s and  front passenger’s seat-backs.
• Side curtain airbags:  Airbags above the side windows.
Each is discussed in the following pages.
Front Airbags (SRS)
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help protect 
the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger.
SRS  (Supplemental Restraint System) indica tes that the airbags are designed to 
supplement seat belts, not replace them . Seat belts are the occupant’s primary 
restraint system.
The front airbags are housed in the center  of the steering wheel for the driver, and 
in the dashboard for the front pass enger. Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG.
*1: Models with the smart entry system have an  ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an 
ignition switch.
■Housing Locations
1 Types of Airbags
The airbags can inflate whenever the ignition switch 
is in ON 
(w*1.
After an airbag inflates in a crash, you may see a 
small amount of smoke. This is from the combustion 
process of the infl ator material and  is not harmful. 
People with respiratory pr oblems may experience 
some temporary discomfort. If  this occurs, get out of 
the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
1 Front Airbags (SRS)
Dual-Stage, Multiple-Threshold Front Airbags 
(SRS)
Your vehicle is equipped wi th dual-stage, multiple-
threshold front airbags (SRS).
During a frontal crash severe  enough to cause one or 
both front airbags to deploy, the airbags can inflate 
at different rates, dependi ng on the severity of the 
crash, whether or not the se at belts are latched, and/
or other factors. Frontal airbags are designed to 
supplement the seat belts to help reduce the 
likelihood of head and chest injuries in frontal 
crashes.

■When side curtain airbags deploy in a frontal collision
One or both side curtain airbags may also  inflate in a moderate-to-severe angled 
frontal collision.
Airbag System Indicators
If a problem occurs in the airbag sy stem, the SRS indicator will come on.
■When the ignition switch is turned to 
ON

The indicator comes on  for a few seconds, 
then goes off. This tells you the system is 
working properly.
If the indicator comes on at  any other time, or does not come on at all, have the 
system checked by a dealer as soon as po ssible. If you don’t, your airbags and seat 
belt tensioners may not work properly when they are needed.
