2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch 
into the buckle. Listen for the distinct 
“click” sound.
 Information
Position the release button so that it is easy 
to access in case of an emergency.

3. Pull the shoulder portion of the 
sea t belt all the way out. When the 
shoulder portion of the seat belt 
is fully extended, it will shift the 
retractor to the "Automatic Locking" 
(child restraint) mode.
OHI038148
4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion of 
the sea t belt to retract and listen for 
an audible "clicking" or "ratcheting" 
sound. This indicates that the retractor 
is in the "Automatic Locking" mode. 
If no distinct sound is heard, repeat 
steps 3 and 4.
5.
 Remo
ve as much slack from the belt 
as possible by pushing down on the 
Child Restraint System while feeding 
the shoulder belt back into the 
retractor.
6.
 Push and pull on the Child Res
traint 
System to confirm that the seat belt 
is holding it firmly in place. If it is not, 
release the seat belt and repeat steps 
2 through 6.
7.
 Double check that the r
etractor is in 
the "Automatic Locking" mode by 
attempting to pull more of the seat 
belt out of the retractor. If you cannot, 
the retractor is in the "Automatic 
Locking" mode.
If your Child Restraint System 
manufacturer instructs or recommends 
you to use a tether anchor with the lap/ 
shoulder belt, refer to the previous pages 
for more information.

 Information
When the seat belt is allowed to retract to 
its fully stowed position, the retractor will 
automatically switch from the “Automatic 
Locking” mode to the emergency lock 
mode for normal adult usage. 
 WARNING
If the retractor is not in the “Automatic 
Locking” mode, the child restraint 
can move when your vehicle turns or 
stops suddenly. A child can be seriously 
injured or killed if the child restraint 
is not properly anchored in the car, 
including manually pulling the seat belt 
all the way out to shift the retractor to 
the “Automatic Locking” mode. 
To remove the Child Restraint System, 
press the release button on the buckle 
and then pull the lap/shoulder belt out of 
the Child Restraint System and allow the 
seat belt to retract fully.
 WARNING
If a child restraint is installed in the 
second row center seat, move the 
second row seat far back as possible, to 
minimize contact with the front center 
air bag.

Where are the air bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s front air 
bags
Driver’s front air bag

Passenger’s front air bag

Your vehicle is equipped with a 
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) 
and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver 
and passenger seating positions.
The SRS consists of air bags which are 
located in the center of the steering 
wheel and the passenger’s side front 
panel pad above the glove box. 
The air bags are labeled with the letters 
“AIR BAG” embossed on the pad covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the 
vehicle’s driver and front passengers with 
additional protection than that offered 
by the seat belt system alone in case of a 
frontal impact of sufficient severity.
The SRS uses sensors to gather 
information about the driver’s and front 
passenger's seat belt usage and impact 
severity.The seat belt buckle sensors determine 
if the driver and front passenger's seat 
belts are fastened. These sensors provide 
the ability to control the SRS deployment 
based on whether or not the seat belts are 
fastened, and how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to 
control the air bag inflation within two 
levels. A first stage level is provided for 
moderate-severity impacts. A second 
stage level is provided for more severe 
impacts.
According to the impact severity, and 
seat belt usage, the SRS Control Module 
(SRSCM) controls the air bag inflation. 
Failure to properly wear seat belts can 
increase the risk or severity of injury in an 
accident.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death from inflating front air bags, take 
the following precautions:
•	
Seat belts must be worn at all times 
to help keep occupants positioned 
properly.
•	 Move your seat as far back as 
possible from front air bags, while 
still maintaining control of the 
vehicle.
•	 Never lean against the door or center 
console.
•	 Do not allow the front passenger 
to place their feet or legs on the 
dashboard.
•	 No objects (such as crash pad 
cover, mobile phone holder, cup 
holder, perfume or stickers) should 
be placed over or near the air bag 
modules on the steering wheel, 
instrument panel, windshield glass, 
and the front passenger’s panel 
above the glove box. Such objects 
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a 
crash severe enough to cause the air 
bags to deploy.
•	 Do not attach any objects on the 
front windshield and inside mirror.

During a moderate to severe frontal 
collision, sensors will detect the 
vehicle’s rapid deceleration. If the rate of 
deceleration is high enough, the control 
unit will inflate the front air bags, at the 
time and with the force needed.
The front air bags help protect the driver 
and front passenger by responding to 
frontal impacts in which seat belts alone 
cannot provide adequate restraint. When 
needed, the side air bags help provide 
protection in the event of a side impact 
or rollover by supporting the side upper 
body area.
•	Air bags are activated (able to 
inflate if necessary) only when the 
Engine Start/Stop button is in the 
ON or START position, and it can be 
activated within about 3 minutes after 
the engine is turned off.
•	 Air bags inflate in the event of certain 
frontal or side collisions to help 
protect the occupants from serious 
physical injury.
•	 There is no single speed at which the 
air bags will inflate. Generally, air bags 
are designed to inflate based upon the 
severity of a collision and its direction. 
These two factors determine whether 
the sensors produce an electronic 
deployment/inflation signal.
•	 The front air bags will completely 
inflate and deflate in an instant. It is 
virtually impossible for you to see the 
air bags inflate during an accident. It is 
much more likely that you will simply 
see the deflated air bags hanging out 
of their storage compartments after 
the collision. •	
In addition to inflating in serious side 
collisions, vehicles equipped with a 
rollover sensor, side and/or curtain air 
bags will inflate if the sensing system 
detects a rollover.
When a rollover is detected, curtain 
air bags will remain inflated longer to 
help provide protection from ejection, 
especially when used in conjunction 
with the seat belts. (if equipped with a 
rollover sensor)
•	 To help provide protection, the air 
bags must inflate rapidly. The speed 
of air bag inflation is a consequence 
of extremely short time in which 
to inflate the air bag between the 
occupant and the vehicle structures 
before the occupant impacts those 
structures. This speed of inflation 
reduces the risk of serious or 
lifethreatening injuries and is thus a 
necessary part of air bag design.
However, the rapid air bag inflation 
can also cause injuries which can 
include facial abrasions, bruises and 
broken bones because the inflation 
speed also causes the air bags to 
expand with a great deal of force.
•	 There are even circumstances under 
which contact with the air bag can 
cause fatal injuries, especially if the 
occupant is positioned excessively 
close to the air bag.
You can take steps to reduce the risk 
of being injured by an inflating air bag. 
The greatest risk is sitting too close to 
the air bag. An air bag needs about 10 
in. (25 cm) of space to inflate. NHTSA 
recommends that drivers allow at least 
10 in. (25 cm) between the center of the 
steering wheel and the chest.
