E00404800636
To protect you and your passengers in theevent of an accident, it is most important thatthe seat belts be worn correctly while driving.
The front seat belts have a pretensioner sys- tem. These belts are used the same way as a
conventional seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and
force limiter system” on page 4-14.WARNINGl Always 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 from operating to remove slack, or prevent the
seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.

4-09OGAE17E2Seat and seat belts4

The SRS airbags are designed to supplementthe primary protection of the driver and front
passenger side seat belt systems by providing those occupants with protection against headand chest injuries in certain moderate-to-se- vere frontal collisions.

The SRS driver’s knee airbag (if so equip-
ped) is designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver’s seat belt system. It can reduce the forward movement of the
driver’s lower legs and provide increased overall body protection in certain moderate-
to-severe frontal collisions.

The SRS side airbags (if so equipped) are de- signed to supplement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and front passen-
ger with protection against chest and abdo-
men injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact collisions.

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. To ensure the maximum protection dur-
ing all types of collisions and accidents, all occupants, including the passengers as well
as the driver, must wear their seat belts.How the Supplemental Re-
straint System works
E00407302883
The SRS includes the following components:
1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp*
3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Driver’s knee airbag module*
5- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch*
6- Side airbag modules*
7- Curtain airbag modules*
Only when the ignition switch or the opera- tion mode is under the following conditions,
the airbags will operate.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless
operation system]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation
system]
The operation mode is in ON.
The airbags deployment produces a sudden,
loud noise, and releases some smoke andpowder, 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.

tion is not operating correctly.
CAUTIONl In the situations listed below, brake perform-
ance may be compromised or the vehicle may become unstable if brakes are applied
suddenly; consequently, avoid driving at
high speeds or applying the brakes suddenly. Furthermore, the vehicle should be brought
to a stop in a safe location and to have it
checked.

• 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.

E00502601960
This lamp is a part of an on-
board diagnostic system
which monitors the emis-
sions, engine control system or A/T control system/CVT
control system.
If a problem is detected in one of these sys- tems, this lamp illuminates or flashes.Although your vehicle will usually be driva-
ble and not need towing, we recommend you
to have the system checked as soon as possi-
ble.
This lamp will also illuminate when the igni- tion switch is turned “ON” or the operation
mode is put in ON, and goes off after the en- gine has started. If it does not go off after the
engine has started, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
CAUTIONl Prolonged driving with this lamp on may
cause further damage to the emission control
system. It could also affect fuel economy and drivability.
l If the lamp does not illuminate when the ig-
nition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON, we rec- ommend you to have the system checked.
Warning lamps
5-45OGAE17E2Instruments and controls5

This warning is displayed if you drive withthe parking brake still applied. The warning lamp in the instrument cluster only illumi-
nates when the parking brake is applied.CAUTIONl If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in ineffective braking and possiblebrake failure.
If this warning is displayed, release the park-
ing brake.Type 1Type 2
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON, if the brake fluid is low, this warning is displayed.

also illuminates.CAUTIONl If this warning stays illuminated and does
not go out while driving, there is a danger of
ineffective braking. In this case, immediate- ly park your vehicle in a safe place and we
recommend you to have it checked.
l If the brake warning display is displayed and
the brake warning lamp and the ABS warn- ing lamp are illuminated at the same time,
the braking force distribution function will not operate, so the vehicle may be destabi-
lised during sudden braking. Avoid sudden
braking and high-speed driving, stop the ve- hicle in a safe place, and we recommend you
to have it checked.
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.
