This section describes how to use
the seat belts properly. It also
describes some of the things not to
do when using seat belts.
Seat belt safety precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and
make sure all passengers have fas-
tened their seat belts before starting
any trip. Air bags (if equipped) are
designed to supplement the seat belt
as an additional safety device, but
they are not a substitute. Most coun-
tries require all occupants of a vehi-
cle to wear seat belts.

Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. Take the following
precautions when adjusting
and wearing seat belts:
ALWAYS properly restrain
children under age 13 in the
rear seats.
NEVER allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat. If
a child age 13 or older must
be seated in the front seat,
move the seat as far back as
possible and properly restrain
them in the seat.
NEVER allow an infant or
child to be carried on an occu-
pant’s lap.
NEVER ride with the seatback
reclined when the vehicle is
moving.
Do not allow children to share
a seat or seat belt.
WARNING Do not wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind
your back.
Never wear a seat belt over
fragile objects. If there is a
sudden stop or impact, the
seat belt can damage it.
Do not use the seat belt if it is
twisted. A twisted seat belt
will not protect you properly
in an accident.
Do not use a seat belt if the
webbing or hardware is dam-
aged.
Do not latch the seat belt into
the buckles of other seats.
NEVER unfasten the seat belt
whilst driving. This may cause
loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident.
Make sure there is nothing in
the buckle interfering with the
seat belt latch mechanism.
This may prevent the seat belt
from fastening securely.

Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly
restrained in the rear seat by a Child
Restraint System that meets the
requirements of the Australian/New
Zealand standards. Before buying any
Child Restraint System (CRS), make
sure that it has a label certifying that it
meets the requirements of the
Australian/New Zealand standards.
The restraint must be appropriate for
your child's height and weight. Check
the label on the Child Restraint System
for this information. Refer to “Child
Restraint Systems” in this chapter.
Larger children
Children under the age of 13 and who
are too large for a booster seat must
always occupy the rear seat and use
the available lap/shoulder belts. A
seat belt should lie across the upper
thighs and be snug across the shoul-
der and chest to restrain the child
safely. Check belt fit periodically. A
child's squirming could put the belt
out of position. Children are afforded
the most safety in the event of an
accident when they are restrained by
a proper restraint system and/or seat
belts in the rear seat.If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child
must be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt and the
seat should be placed in the rear-
most position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the centre
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck, they need
to be returned to an appropriate
booster seat in the rear seat.
Seat belt use and injured people
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific rec-
ommendations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.
Do not lie down
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be dan-
gerous. Even when buckled up, the
protections of your restraint system
(seat belts and/or air bags) are great-
ly reduced by reclining your seat-
back.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly.
During an accident, you could be
thrown into the seat belt, causing
neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined,
the greater chance the passenger’s
hips will slide under the lap belt or
the passenger’s neck will strike the
shoulder belt. Always make sure larger chil-
dren’s seat belts are worn and
properly adjusted.
NEVER allow the shoulder
belt to contact the child’s
neck or face.
Do not allow more than one
child to use a single seat belt.WARNING

Children always in the rear
Children under the age of 13 must
always ride in the rear seats and
must always be properly restrained
to minimise the risk of injury in an
accident, sudden stop or sudden
manoeuvre. According to accident
statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seats
than in the front seat. Children too
large for a Child Restraint System
must use the seat belts provided.Most countries have Child Restraint
System which require children to
travel in approved Child Restraint
System. The laws governing the age
or height/weight restrictions at which
seat belts can be used instead of
Child Restraint System differs
among countries, so you should be
aware of the specific requirements in
your country, and where you are trav-
elling.
Child Restraint Systems must be
properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. You must use a commer-
cially available Child Restraint
System that meets the requirements
of the Australian/New Zealand stan-
dards.
Child Restraint Systems are general-
ly designed to be secured in a vehi-
cle seat by lap belt or the lap belt
portion of a lap/shoulder belt, or by a
top-tether and/or ISOFIX anchorage
in the rear seats of the vehicle.
Child Restraint System (CRS)
always in the rear seat
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in an appropriate rear-
ward-facing or forward-facing CRS
that has first been properly secured
to the rear seat of the vehicle. Read
and comply with the instructions for
installation and use provided by the
manufacturer of the Child Restraint
System.

Booster seats
A booster seat is a Child Restraint
System designed to improve the fit of
the vehicle’s seat belt system. A
booster seat positions the seat belt
so that it fits properly over the
stronger parts of your child’s body.
Keep your children in booster seats
until they are big enough to fit in a
seat belt properly.
For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap
belt must lie comfortably across the
upper thighs, not the stomach. The
shoulder belt should lie comfortably
across the shoulder and chest and
not across the neck or face. Children
under the age of 13 must always be
properly restrained to minimise the
risk of injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden manoeuvre.
Installing a Child Restraint
System (CRS)After selecting a proper Child
Restraint System and checking that
the Child Restraint System fits prop-
erly in the rear of this vehicle, you are
ready to install the Child Restraint
System according to the manufactur-
er’s instruction. There are three gen-
eral steps in installing the Child
Restraint System properly:
Properly secure the Child
Restraint System (CRS) to the
vehicle.All Child Restraint System
must be secured to the vehicle with
the lap belt or lap part of a
lap/shoulder belt or with the
ISOFIX top-tether and/or ISOFIX
anchorage.
Make sure the Child Restraint
System (CRS) is firmly secured.
After installing a Child Restraint
System to the vehicle, push and
pull the seat forward and from side-
to-side to verify that it is securely
attached to the seat. A Child
Restraint System secured with a
seat belt should be installed as
firmly as possible. However, some
side-to- side movement can be
expected. Before installing your Child
Restraint System always:
Read and follow the instruc-
tions provided by the manufac-
turer of the Child Restraint
System.
Failure to follow all warnings
and instructions could increase
the risk of the SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH if an accident occurs.
WARNING
If the vehicle headrest prevents
proper installation of a Child
Restraint System, the headrest
of the respective seating posi-
tion should be readjusted or
entirely removed.

When installing a Child Restraint
System, adjust the vehicle seat (up
and down, forward and rearward)
so that your child fits in the Child
Restraint System in a comfortable
manner.
Secure the child in the Child
Restraint System (CRS).Make
sure the child is properly strapped
in the Child Restraint System
according to the Child Restraint
System manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.ISOFIX anchorage and top-teth-
er anchorage (ISOFIX anchor-
ages system) for children
The ISOFIX system holds a Child
Restraint System during driving and
in an accident. This system is
designed to make installation of the
Child Restraint System easier and
reduce the possibility of improperly
installing your Child Restraint
System. The ISOFIX system uses
anchors in the vehicle and attach-
ments on the Child Restraint
System. The ISOFIX system elimi-
nates the need to use seat belts to
secure the Child Restraint System to
the rear seats.
ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars
built into the vehicle. There are two
lower anchors for each ISOFIX seat-
ing position that will accommodate a
Child Restraint System with lower
attachments.To use the ISOFIX system in your
vehicle, you must have a Child
Restraint System with ISOFIX
attachments. (An ISOFIX-seat may
only be installed if it has vehicle-spe-
cific or universal approval in accor-
dance with the requirements of rele-
vant regulation.)
The Child Restraint System manu-
facturer will provide you with instruc-
tions on how to use the Child
Restraint System with its attach-
ments for the ISOFIX anchorages.
A Child Restraint Systemin a
closed vehicle can become very
hot. To prevent burns, check the
seating surface and buckles
before placing your child in the
Child Restraint System.
