Localizing-U.S.-12407814) - 2019 - crc - 12/13/17
48 Seats and Restraints
An expectant mother or a person
who is ill riding in the vehicle must
also wear a seat belt. In light of the
risk that the seat belt will apply
pressure to the abdomen, chest and
shoulders in the event of a collision,
however, an expectant mother or
person who is ill should get advice
from a physician beforehand.
.An expectant mother should use
a three-point seat belt.
. An expectant mother should
position the lap belt snugly as
low as possible on the hips (not
across the abdomen). Also, she
should fasten the shoulder belt
so it rests on her chest, not on
her abdomen.
Lap Belt
The center seat lap belt has no
retractor, but should be positioned,
worn, and released as described
below.
To Fasten:
1. Sit on the seat in the correct position.
2. Pull out the latch plate side ofthe belt a little longer than
necessary. Placing the latch
plate at right angles with the
belt makes this easier.3. After checking that there are notwists in the belt, insert the
latch plate into the buckle until
it clicks.

4. Position the seat belt acrossthe lap as low as possible on
the hips. Pull the fold-back end
of the belt (upper side) until the
belt is adjusted to a snug fit.
To Unfasten:
Push the button on the buckle to
unfasten the belt.
The center seat belt
(length-adjustable two-point belt) is
designed so that it cannot be
connected with any of the
windowside seat belts (three-point
seat belts with ELR).
Seat Belt Extender
If the vehicle's seat belt will fasten
around you, you should use it. But if
a seat belt isn't long enough to
fasten, your dealer can order you an
extender. When you go in to order it,
take the heaviest coat you will wear,
so the extender will be long enough
for you. The extender will be just for
you, and just for the seat in your
vehicle that you choose. Do not let
someone else use it, and use it only
for the seat it is made to fit. To wear
it, just attach it to the regular
seat belt.
Safety System Check
Now and then check that the belts,
buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and guide loops work
properly; look for loose parts or
damage (without disassembly) that
could keep the restraint system from
doing its job. Have a belt assembly
replaced if the webbing has been
cut or otherwise damaged. Replace
belts, retractors, and hardware used
in all but a minor collision. Also,
restraint systems should be replaced and anchorages properly
repaired if they were in areas
damaged by a collision, whether the
belt was in use or not. If there is any
question, replace the belt system.
Damage, whether visible or not,
could result in a serious personal
injury in the event of an accident.
Seat Belt Care
{Warning
Keep belts clean and dry.
Clean seat belts only with mild
soaps and lukewarm water.
Do not bleach or dye belts since
this may severely weaken them.
Seat belt webbing can lose its
strength when bleached or
redyed, or when cleaned using
gasoline, paint thinners or other
volatile substances.
Do not disassemble the seat belt
mechanism in order to remove
any foreign material or objects

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.
Cleaning a Seat Belt Fold-Back
Fitting Portion
1. Seat belt fold-back fitting portion
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

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.

52 Seats and Restraints
Warning (Continued)
Any unrestrained child could be
injured by striking the vehicle's
interior or by ejection from the
vehicle during an accident or
driving maneuver. Never allow a
child to be held by another
occupant instead of being
properly restrained. If not properly
restrained, the child could strike
the vehicle interior or be crushed
by the person holding the child,
or by other occupants.
Be sure to follow all installation and
use instructions that come with any
child restraint system.
Child restraint systems are designed
to be secured in vehicle seats either
by the lap belt, or the lap portion of
the lap-shoulder belt at that seating
position. The child must also be
secured within the restraint by the
means provided by the child
restraint manufacturer. If the child or the child restraint is not properly
secured, the child risks personal
injury in the event of a collision.
Using a Lap Belt That Has No
Retractor
When securing a child restraint with
the center seat lap belt, pull the
excess webbing through the belt's
adjustment feature, then take these
steps:
.
Once installed, push and pull the
child restraint in all directions to
be sure it is secure. If it comes
loose, flip the end of the belt
with the adjustment feature over
before rebuckling.
. If the child restraint is still not
secure, use the outboard seating
position in the vehicle and
contact your dealer and the child
restraint manufacturer for help.
. Secure the child in the restraint
in accordance with the child
restraint manufacturer's
instructions.
Installation on Outboard Seat
A seat belt locking clip is required
for installation of a child restraint
system on the outboard seat of this
vehicle. A locking clip may usually
be obtained where child restraints
are sold, or by contacting your
dealer for assistance. Make sure the
locking clip is identical to the one
shown on this page. Until you have
the clip, use the child restraint
system only in the center seat.

{Warning
To help avoid personal injury or
death during a collision or sudden
maneuver, always thread both the
lap and shoulder belt through the
locking clip when securing a child
restraint on the outboard seat.
If the clip is not used or installed
properly, the child restraint may
move or tip over when your
vehicle turns or stops abruptly.
Secure the child restraint with the
lap belt portion (1) of the seat belt in
accordance with the restraint
manufacturer's instructions. Then
thread both the lap (1) and shoulder
belt (2) portions through the locking
clip. Push and pull the child restraint
in all directions to be sure it is
secure.

permit normal use of the
lap-shoulder belt. Keep the locking
clip in the glove box to help prevent
its loss.
Child Restraint with Top Tether
{Warning
We do not recommend using a
child restraint that requires the
use of a top tether. There is no
appropriate place to attach a top
tether anchor behind the seat in
this vehicle.
