clining the seatbacks of the seats, one large flat seat is achieved.
WARNINGl Never drive with passengers on the flat
seat. This is highly dangerous.CAUTIONl To make a flat seat, stop the vehicle in a safe
place.
l Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or
with adult supervision for correct and safe
operation.
l Do not walk around on top of the seats after
they have been laid flat.
l To ensure the seats are locked securely, at-
tempt to move them back and forth.
l Do not jump on, or impact the seatbacks
heavily.
l To raise the seatback, put a hand on the seat-
back and raise slowly. Never have a child do
this operation, or an unexpected accident
may result.

front seats, raise the armrest and remove
the cargo area cover. (Refer to “Head re-

E00404800867
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 5-14.
WARNINGl Seat belts should always be worn by every
adult who drives or rides in this vehicle,
and by all children who are tall enough to wear seat belts properly.
Other children should always use proper child restraint systems.
l 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 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.

lThe child restraint system should be ap-
propriate for the child’s weight and height and properly fit in the vehicle.
For a higher degree of safety: THE CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT.NOTEl Before purchasing a child restraint system,
try installing it to make sure there is a good fit. Because of the location of the seat belt
buckles and the shape of the seat cushion, it may be difficult to securely install some
manufacturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be pulled forward or to either side easily on the seatcushion after the seat belt has been tight-
ened, choose another manufacturer’s child restraint system.WARNINGl When installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by themanufacturer of the restraint system.Failure to do so can result in severe or fa-tal injury to the child.WARNINGl After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and sideto side, to see that it is properly secured.
If the child restraint system is not instal-
led securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of ac- cident or sudden stops.
l When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system se- cured with the seat belt or remove it fromthe vehicle in order to prevent it from be- ing thrown around inside the vehicle dur-
ing an accident.
Depending on the seating position in the
vehicle and the child restraint system
that you have, the child restraint can be attached using one of the following two
ways: • Using the lower anchorage in the front
passenger seat or the rear seat if the
child restraint has ISOFIX mountings (See page 5-23).
• Using the seat belt (See page 5-25).
Older children
E00406700307
Children who have outgrown the child re-
straint system should be seated in the rear
seat and wear combination lap shoulder belt.
The lap portion of the belt should be snug
and positioned low on the abdomen so that it
is below the top of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt could intrude into the child’s abdo-
men during an accident and cause injury.
