WARNING - Rear
seatbacks
The rear seatback must be securely latched. If not, pas-
sengers and objects could be
thrown forward resulting in
serious injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or col-
lision.
No passenger should ride in the cargo area or sit or lie on
folded seatbacks while the
vehicle is moving. All passen-
gers must be properly seated
in seats and restrained prop-
erly while riding.
When resetting the seatback to the upright position, make
sure it is securely latched by
pushing it forward and rear-
wards.
To avoid the possibility of burns, do not remove the car-
pet in the cargo area. Emission
control devices beneath this
floor generate high tempera-
tures.
(Continued)(Continued)
Luggage and other cargoshould be laid flat in the cargo
area or on the folded rear
seatback. If objects are large,
heavy, or must be piled, they
must be secured. Under no
circumstances should cargo
be piled higher than the seat-
backs. Failure to follow these
warnings could result in seri-
ous injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop, colli-
sion or rollover.
WARNING
After adjusting the seat, always
check that it is securely locked
into place by attempting to
move the seat forward or
reverse without using the lock
release lever. Sudden or unex-
pected movement of the dri-
ver's seat could cause you to
lose control of the vehicle
resulting in an accident.
WARNING
Do not adjust the seat whilewearing seat belts. Moving the
seat cushion forward may
cause strong pressure on the
abdomen.
Use extreme caution so that hands or other objects are not
caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.
Do not place a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat.
When you operate the seat,
gas may exit out of the lighter
and cause a fire.
Use extreme caution when picking small objects trapped
under the seats or between
the seat and the center con-
sole. Your hands might be cut
or injured by the sharp edges
of the seats mechanism.

WARNING
No modifications or additions should be made by the user
which will either prevent the
seat belt adjusting devices

When you fasten the seat belt, be careful not to latch the seat
belt in the buckles of another.
It's very dangerous and you
may not be protected by the
seat belt properly.

Safety features of your vehicle
When the vehicle stops suddenly, or
if the occupant tries to lean forward
too quickly, the seat belt retractor will
lock into position. In certain frontal
collisions (or side collisions or
rollovers), the pre-tensioner will acti-
vate and pull the seat belt into tighter
contact against the occupant's body.
(1) Retractor PretensionerThe purpose of the retractor pre-tensioner is to make sure that the
shoulder belts fit in tightly against
the occupant's upper body in cer-
tain frontal collisions (or side colli-
sions or rollovers).
(2) EFD (Emergency Fastening Device)
The purpose of the EFD is to makesure that the pelvis belts fit in tight-
ly against the occupant's lower
body in certain frontal collisions (or
rollovers). (for passenger’s side)
If the system senses excessive ten-
sion on the driver or passenger's seat
belt when the pre-tensioner system
activates, the load limiter inside the
retractor pre-tensioner will release
some of the pressure on the affected
seat belt. The seat belt pre-tensioner system
consists mainly of the following com-
ponents. Their locations are shown in
the illustration:
1. SRS air bag warning light
2. Retractor pre-tensioner assembly
3. SRS control module
4. Emergency fastening device (EFD)
WARNING
Do not put anything near the
buckle. Placing objects near
the buckle may increase the
risk of personal injury in the
event of a collision.
For your safety, be sure that the belt webbing is not loose
or twisted and always sit
properly on your seat.
