collision or sudden stop if it is in
contact with your neck and/
or face.
Every seat except the center seat
on your vehicle is equipped with a
three-point seat belt. The seat belt
extends or retracts freely if the
wearer moves slowly, but it locks
and restrains the occupant during
forward force caused by the
occupant's body following a strong
shock.To Fasten:
1. Sit on the seat in the correct driving position.
2. Pull out the seat belt holdingthe latch plate. After checking
that there are no twists in the
belt, insert the latch plate into
the buckle until it clicks. If the
retractor locks before the latch
plate reaches the buckle, let
the belt retract slightly, then
withdraw it slower than before.
3. To reduce the risk of slidingunder the belt during a
collision, position the belt
across your lap as low on your
hips as possible and adjust it to
a snug fit by pulling the
"shoulder" portion upward
through the latch plate.
The lap-shoulder belt is
designed to lock during a
sudden stop or impact. At other
times it should move freely.

that may have entered the buckle.
Instead, arrange for inspection
and maintenance to be carried
out by your dealer. You and
others could be seriously injured.
A dirty seat belt can develop
retracting problems, and for this
reason, regular inspection and
upkeep are required.

2. Seat belt
3. Cloth
Cleaning a Seat Belt Fold-Back
Fitting Portion:
1. Fold a piece of cotton cloth, absorbent gauze, or the like of
approximately 50 mm (2 in) in
width into a rectangle.
2. Mix one part neutral detergent into approximately twenty parts
warm water.
3. Wet the cloth in the detergent mixture, pass it through the
fold-back fitting portion of the
belt, and slide it back and forth
and laterally until dirt can no
longer be seen.
4. Remove the cloth, remove moisture from the fitting portion
of the belt using a dry cloth,
and then allow it to dry
naturally out of direct sunlight.
5. Check to be sure the seat belt retracts and pulls out correctly. Avoid using anything like a tool to
pass the cloth through the fold-back
fitting portion or try to remove
stubborn dirt. Using such an object
can result in plastic parts or seat
belt webbing damage.
Cleaning a Belt Webbing
1. Brush
2. Seat belt
Cleaning a Belt Webbing:

2. Mix one part neutral detergentinto approximately twenty parts
warm water.
3. Wet a nail brush or another similar brush having soft
bristles (of nylon or the like) in
warm water, and use this to
clean away dirt.
4. Wipe the seat belt dry using a dry cloth, and then allow it to
dry naturally out of direct
sunlight.
5. Check to be sure the seat belt retracts and pulls out correctly. If the above-described upkeep
operations do not improve the
operation of the seat belt through
the retractor, there is a possibility
that the belt is making contact with
the door pillar trim. In this case,
arrange for inspection and
maintenance to be carried out by
your dealer.
If the belt is not winding and
unwinding correctly, or if inspection
reveals problems such as loose
mountings, metal parts deformation,
webbing damage, fraying or
discoloration, arrange for
replacement to be carried out by
your dealer.Child Restraints
Child Restraint Systems
{Warning
Children small enough for child
restraints (as indicated on the
label of such restraints), including
booster seats, should always be
transported in them. Children who
have outgrown child restraint
systems should wear seat belts.
The lap belt should be snug and
positioned low on the abdomen
so that it is below the top of the
hipbone. Otherwise, the belt could
intrude into the child's abdomen
during an accident and cause
personal injury. When a child has
grown enough so that the
shoulder belt can be worn, a
seating position with a shoulder
belt should be chosen whenever
possible.

switch must be in the ON position.
The windshield wiper switch has the
following positions, which
correspond to the states of the
wiper.
9:Stopped.
3:Intermittent, light rain.
Low Speed : Low speed,

Do not operate the wiper on a dry
windshield surface. Otherwise, the
windshield surface may sustain
damage.

Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.Some warning lights come on briefly
when the engine is started to
indicate they are working. When
one of the warning lights comes on
and stays on while driving, or when
one of the gauges shows there may
be a problem, check the section that
explains what to do. Waiting to do
repairs can be costly and even
dangerous.
For safety reasons, do not place
packages, tools, or other items in
the driver
’s area that may restrict
access to the controls or sight of the
gauges.

LOCK or ACC position. Follow the
same procedure to cancel the
setting.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine
speed in revolutions per
minute (rpm). The red zone
indicates a range of dangerous
engine speeds beyond permissable
levels. Do not drive your vehicle
with the needle in the red zone.
Caution
Exercise extreme care when
shifting down on a steep
downslope. The engine speed
may exceed the critical speed,
which can damage the vehicle.
Fuel Gauge
With the engine control switch in the
ON position, the fuel gauge
indicates about how much fuel is left
in the tank.To check the fuel level with the
engine control switch in the LOCK
position, press the Odometer Check
switch.
Fill the tank well before it
approaches empty. After filling up
the fuel tank, it takes awhile for the
fuel gauge needle to stabilize after
the engine control switch is turned
to the ON position. If the fuel tank is
filled while the engine is off, but the
engine control switch is in the ON
position, the fuel gauge needle
takes awhile to show the correct
reading.
