Fastening a Seat Belt
After adjusting a front seat to the proper  position, and while sitting upright and well 
back in the seat:
2 Adjusting the Seats  P. 210
1.Pull the seat belt out slowly.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then 
tug on the belt to make sure the buckle is 
secure.
u Make sure that the belt is not twisted or 
caught on anything.
1Fastening a Seat Belt
No one should sit in a seat  with an inoperative seat 
belt or one that does not  appear to be working 
correctly. Using a seat be lt that is not working 
properly may not protect the occupant in a crash. 
Have a dealer check the  belt as soon as possible.
Pull out slowly.

3. Position the lap part of the belt as low as 
possible across your hips, then pull up on 
the shoulder part of the belt so the lap part 
fits snugly. Th is lets your strong pelvic 
bones take the force of a crash and reduces 
the chance of internal injuries.
4. If necessary, pull up on the belt again to 
remove any slack, then  check that the belt 
rests across the center of your chest and 
over your shoulder. Th is spreads the forces 
of a crash over the strongest bones in your 
upper body.
The front seats have adjustable shoulder anchors to accommodate taller and shorter 
occupants. 1.Move the anchor up and down while 
holding the release button.
2. Position the anchor so that the belt rests 
across the center of your chest and over 
your shoulder.1Fastening a Seat Belt
To release the belt, push the red  PRESS button and 
then guide the belt by hand until it has retracted 
completely.
When exiting the vehicle, be  sure the belt is properly 
stowed so that it will not get caught in the closing 
door.
Never insert any foreign obj ects into the buckle or 
retractor mechanism.
3WARNING
Improperly positioning the seat belts can 
cause serious injury or death in a crash.
Make sure all seat belts are properly 
positioned before driving.Lap belt 
as low as 
possible
■Adjusting the Shoulder Anchor1 Adjusting the Shoulder Anchor
After an adjustment, make  sure that the shoulder 
anchor position is secure.
The shoulder anchor  height can be adjusted to four 
levels. If the belt contacts  your neck, lower the height 
one level at a time.

Safe Driving
• Never hold a child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them in the 
event of a collision.
• Never put a seat belt over yourself and  a child. During a crash, the belt would 
likely press deep into the child an d cause serious or fatal injuries.
• Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be very 
seriously injured in a crash.
• Any child who is too small to wear a seat  belt correctly must be restrained in an 
approved child seat that is properly secu red to the vehicle using either the seat 
belt or the lower anchor s of the LATCH system.
• Do not allow children to operate the  doors, windows or seat adjustments.
• Do not leave children in  the vehicle unattended, especially in hot weather when 
the inside of the vehicle can get hot enough  to kill them. They could also activate 
vehicle controls causing it to move unexpectedly.1 Protecting Child Passengers
To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle 
and allow the seat belt to wind up all the way.
To remind you of the pa ssenger’s front airbag 
hazards and child safety,  your vehicle has warning 
labels on the dashboard (U.S. models) and on the 
front visors. Please read and follow the instructions 
on these labels. 2 Safety Labels  P. 76
3WARNING
Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or 
wrap one around their neck can result in 
serious injury or death.
Instruct children not to  play with any seat 
belt and make sure any unused seat belt a 
child can reach is buckled, fully retracted, 
and locked.

Safety of Infants and Small Children
An infant must be properly restrained in a  rear-facing, reclining child seat until the 
infant reaches the seat manufacturer’s weig ht or height limit for the seat, and the 
infant is at least one year old.
■Positioning a rear -facing child seat
Child seats must be placed and secured in a 
rear seating position.
When properly installed, a rear-facing chil d seat may prevent the driver or a front 
passenger from moving their seat all the wa y back, or from locking their seat-back 
in the desired position. Make sure that there is no contact between the child seat 
and the seat in front of it.
It can also interfere with proper operation of the passenger’s advanced front airbag 
system.
2 Airbags P. 45
If this occurs, we recommend that you insta ll the child seat directly behind the front 
passenger’s seat, move the seat as far fo rward as needed, and leave it unoccupied. 
Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing child seat.
■Protecting Infants1 Protecting Infants
Many experts recommend us e of a rear-facing seat 
for a child up to two years old if the child’s height and 
weight are appropriate  for a rear-facing seat.
Rear-facing child seats should  never be installed in a 
forward facing position.
Always refer to the child seat manufacturer’s 
instructions before installation.
Do not allow a front seat to rest against a child seat 
installed in a rear seating position:
The weight sensor in the fr ont seat may not correctly 
detect the actual weight of the occupant.
3WARNING
Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front 
seat can result in serious injury  or death 
during a crash.
Always place a rear-fac ing child seat in the 
rear seat, not the front.
