place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when the seat is occupied.

the seatback. This can adversely affect head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.

centre of the head restraint is as close as pos-
sible to eye level to reduce the chances of in-
jury in the event of collision. Any person too tall for the head restraint to reach their seatedeye level, should adjust the restraint as highas possible.
To raise the head restraint, move it upward.
To lower the restraint, move it downward while pushing the height adjusting knob (A)
in the direction of the arrow. After adjust- ment, push the head restraint downward andmake sure that it is locked.

To protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident, it is most important that
the 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 4-14.:ARN,NGz Always place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never put
it behind you or under your arm.
z One seat belt should be used by only one
person. Doing otherwise can be danger- ous.
z 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.
z 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.
z Remove any twists when using the belt.:ARN,NGzNo modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either pre-
vent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent theseat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.
z 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.
z Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.
z Always wear the lap portion of the belt
over your hips.
