All seats are equipped with a seat belt which uses one combined lap-and-shoulder belt with an emergency locking retractor. This system is designed to provide both com- fort and safety. It perm
its full extension and
automatic retraction of the belts during nor- mal vehicle operation.
A sensing device
inside the belt retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of a sudden change inthe vehicle’s motion.
1. Occupants should always
sit back in their
seats with their backs against the uprightseatback. To reduce
the risk of serious
injury or death during deployment of the airbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far backas possible while maintaining a position that still enables you to fully apply the pedals, easily control the steering wheel,and safely operate the vehicle. The front passenger seat should also be moved as far back as possible. Refer to “Supple- mental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 4-35. Also refer to “To adjust theseat forward or backward” on page 4-5.
2. Before using the center seat belt for sec- ond row, make sure that the detachable anchor is securely
latched and the seat
belt is not twisted. For details, refer topage 4-21.
Seat belt instructions
NOTE
 For instructions on installing a child restraint system using a seat belt
, refer to “Installing a
child restraint system
using the seat belt” on
page 4-32.
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of
an accident or sud-
den stop, all seatbacks should be kept inthe upright position while the vehicle is in motion. Seat belt performance during an accident can be adversely affect
ed if the seatbacks
are reclined. The more a seatback isreclined, the more likely seat belt perfor- mance will be advers
ely affected. If the
seat belt is not prop
erly positioned against
the body during an accident, there is increased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious
injury or death.
