Seat belt restraint system 
Lap/shoulder belt 
To fasten your seat belt: 
Pull  it  out  of  the  retractor  and  insert
the  metal  tab  (1)  into  the  buckle  (2).
There will be an audible "click" when
the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to
the  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.
If you are not able to smoothly pull
enough  of  the  seat  belt  out  from
the  retractor, firmly  pull  the  seat
belt  out  and  release  it. After
release, you will be able to pull the
belt out smoothly.
NOTICE
ODH033055
OLMB033025
Improperly  positioned  seat  belts
may  increase  the  risk  of  serious
injury in an accident. Take the fol-
lowing  precautions  when  adjust-
ing the seat belt:
•Position  the  lap  por tion  of  the
seat  belt  as  low  as  possible
across  your  hips, not  on  your
waist, so  that  it  fits  snugly. This
allows your strong pelvic bones
to absorb the force of the crash,
reducing  the  chance  of  internal
injuries.

headrest  and  between  the  head-
rest posts.
2. Connect  the  top-tether  to  the  top-
tether anchorage, then tighten the
top-tether according to the instruc-
tions  of  your  Child  Restraint
System's  manufacturer  to  firmly
attach  the  Child  Restraint  System
to the seat.
The anchor fitting package consists of:
•Bolt:5/16 inch - 18 UNC 
22 mm thread length
•Spring washer :2 mm thickness
•Child restraint hook holder
•Retainer washer :0.5 mm thickness
•Anchor fitting:Conforms to ADR

Ta k e   t h e   f o l l o w i n g   p r e c a u t i o n s
when installing the top-tether:
•Read and follow all installation
instructions  provided  with
your  Child  Restraint  System.
•NEVER  attach  more  than  one
Child  Restraint  System  to  a
single  ISOFIX  top-tether
anchorage. This  could  cause
the  anchorage  or  attachment
to come loose or break.
•Do not attach the top-tether to
anything  other  than  the  cor-
rect  top-tether  anchorage. It
may  not  work  properly  if
attached to something else.
•Child  restraint  anchorages
are  designed  to  withstand
only  those  loads  imposed  by
correctly  fitted  Child
restraints.
Under  no  circumstances  are
they  to  be  used  for  adult  seat
belts, harnesses, or for attach-
ing  other  items  or  equipment
to the vehicle.

2. Fasten  the  lap/shoulder  belt  latch
into  the  buckle. Listen  for  the  dis-
tinct “click” sound.
Information 
Position the release button so that it is
easy to access in case of an emergency.
3. Remove  as  much  slack  from  the
belt  as  possible  by  pushing  down
on  the  Child  Restraint  System
whilst  feeding  the  shoulder  belt
back into the retractor.
4. Push  and  pull  on  the  Child
Restraint  System  to  confirm  that
the  seat  belt  is  holding  it  firmly  in
place.
If your CRS manufacturer instructs or
recommends  you  use  an  ISOFIX

When the ECO mode is activated:
•The acceleration response may be
slightly  reduced  as  the  accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
•The air conditioner performance
may be limited.
•The shift pattern of the automatic
transmission may change.
•The engine noise may get louder.
The  above  situations  are  normal
conditions  when  the  ECO  mode  is
activated, to improve fuel efficiency.
Limitation  of  the  ECO  mode  oper-
ation:
If  the  following  conditions  occur
whilst  the  ECO  mode  is  operating,
the  system  operation  is  limited  even
though  there  is  no  change  in  the
ECO indicator.
•When the coolant temperature is
low:
The  system  will  be  limited  until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
•When driving up a hill:
The  system  will  be  limited  in  gain-
ing  power  when  driving  uphill
because  engine  torque  is  restrict-
ed.
•When driving the vehicle with the
automatic  transmission  gear  shift
lever in manual shift mode:
The  system  will  be  limited  due  to
the shift location.
•When the accelerator pedal is fully
depressed for a few seconds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.
SPORT mode
SPORT  mode  manages
the  driving  dynamics  by
automatically adjusting the
steering  effort,  and  the
engine  and  transmission  control
logic  for  enhanced  driver  perform-
ance.
•When SPORT mode is selected by
pressing the DRIVE MODE button,
the  SPORT  indicator  (orange
colour) will illuminate.
•Whenever the engine is restarted,
the  Drive  Mode  will  revert  back  to
NORMAL mode. If SPORT mode is
desired,  re-select  SPORT  mode
from the DRIVE MODE button.
•When SPORT mode is activated:
- The  engine  r pm  will  tend  to
remain  raised  over  a  certain
length  of  time  even  after  releas-
ing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accel-
erating
Information 
In  SPORT mode,  the  fuel  efficiency
may decrease.
