1To fasten the seat belt, push the
plate into the buckle until a click
sound is heard.
2 To release the seat belt, press the
release button .
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sud-
den stop or on impact. It may also lock if you
lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy
motion will allow the belt to extend so that
you can move around fully.
■Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is com-
pletely extended and then retracted even
slightly, the belt is lock ed in that position and
cannot be extended. This feature is used to
hold a child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To
free the belt again, fully retract the belt and
then pull the belt out once more. ( P.41)
■After the rear center seat belt has been
used
Stow the buckle as shown.
1 Push the seat belt shoulder anchor
down while pressing the release
button .
2 Push the seat belt shoulder anchor
up.
Move the height adjuster up and down as
needed until you hear a click.
NOTICE
■When using a seat belt extender
When releasing the se at belt, press on
the buckle release button on the
extender, not on the seat belt.
This helps prevent damage to the vehicle
interior and the extender itself.

WARNING
■Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of your
shoulder. The belt should be kept away
from your neck, but not falling off your
shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce
the amount of protection in an accident
and cause death or serious injuries in the
event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or
accident.

For safety and security
■When installing a child restraint
system to a front passenger seat
For the safety of a child, install child
restraint systems to a rear seats. When
installing child restraint system to a
front passenger seat is unavoidable,
adjust the seat as follows and install the
child restraint system.
Move the seat fully rearward.
Move the seat height to the upper
most position.
Adjust the seatback angle to the
most upright position.
If there is a gap between the child seat and
the seatback, adjust the seatback angle
until good contact is achieved.
If the head restraint interferes with
your child restraint system, and the
head restraint can be removed,

WARNING
■When using a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Never install a re ar-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated. In the event of
an accident, the force of the rapid infla-
tion of the front passenger airbag can
cause death or serious injury to the
child if the rear-facing child restraint
system is installed on the front passen-
ger seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint system
may be installed on the front passen-
ger seat only when it is unavoidable. A
child restraint system that requires a
top tether strap should not be used in
the front passenger seat since there is
no top tether strap anchor for the front
passenger seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint system
may be installed on the front passen-
ger seat only when it is unavoidable.
When installing a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, adjust the seatback angle to the
most upright position, move the seat
fully rearward, and move the seat
height to the upper most position, even
if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is
illuminated.
If the head restraint interferes with your
child restraint system, and the head
restraint can be re moved, remove the
head restraint. Othe rwise, put the head
restraint in the up per most position.
●Do not allow the child to lean his/her
head or any part of his/her body
against the door or th e area of the seat,
front or rear pillars, or roof side rails
from which the SRS side airbags or
SRS curtain shield ai rbags deploy even
if the child is seated in the child
restraint system. It is dangerous if the
SRS side and curtai n shield airbags
inflate, and the impact could cause
death or serious injury to the child.
1083-3. Adjusting the seats
Pull the head restraint up while press-
ing the lock release button .
If the head restraint touches the ceiling,
making the removal difficult, change
the seat height or angle.
Front seats
Align the head restraint with the instal-
lation holes and push it down to the
lock position.
Press and hold the lock release button
when lowering the head restraint.
Rear seats
Align the head restraint with the instal-
lation holes and push it down to the
lowest lock position while pressing the
lock release button .Removing the head restraints

your vehicle
• When your vehicle or a detectable object
is wobbling

• When your vehicle approaches a detect- able object rapidly

■The Blind Spot Monitor is operational
when
The Blind Spot Monitor is operational when
all of the following conditions are met:
●The Blind Spot Monitor is on.
●The shift lever is in a position other than R.
●The vehicle speed is greater than approx-
imately 10 mph (16 km/h).
■The Blind Spot Monitor will detect a
vehicle when
The Blind Spot Monitor will detect a vehicle
present in the detection area in the follow-
ing situations:
●A vehicle in an adj acent lane overtakes
your vehicle.
●You overtake a vehicle in an adjacent lane
slowly.
●Another vehicle enters the detection
area when it changes lanes.
■Conditions under which the system will
not detect a vehicle
The Blind Spot Monitor is not designed to
detect the following types of vehicles and/or
objects:
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians,
etc.*
●Vehicles traveling in the opposite direc-
tion
●Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehicles
and similar stationary objects*

lane*
●Vehicles traveling 2 lanes away from your
vehicle*
●Vehicles which are being overtaken rap-
idly by your vehicle*
*
: Depending on the conditions, detection of a vehicle and/or object may occur.
■Conditions under which the system may
not function correctly
●The Blind Spot Monitor may not detect
vehicles correctly in the following situa-
tions:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a
strong impact to the sensor or its sur-
rounding area
• When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc. is
covering the sensor or surrounding area
on the rear bumper
• When driving on a road surface that is
wet with standing water during bad
weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog
• When multiple vehicles are approaching
with only a small gap between each vehi-
cle
• When the distance between your vehicle
and a following vehicle is short
• When there is a significant difference in speed between your vehicle and the vehi-
cle that enters the detection area
• When the difference in speed between your vehicle and another vehicle is
changing
• When a vehicle enters a detection area traveling at about the same speed as your
vehicle
• As your vehicle starts from a stop, a vehi- cle remains in the detection area
• When driving up and down consecutive steep inclines, such as hills, dips in the
road, etc.
• When driving on roads with sharp bends, consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces

driving on the edge of a lane, and the
vehicle in an adjacent lane is far away
from your vehicle
• When an accessory (such as a bicycle carrier) is installed to the rear of the vehi-
cle
• When there is a significant difference in height between your vehicle and the
vehicle that enters the detection area
• Immediately after the Blind Spot Monitor
is turned on

unnecessarily detecting a vehicle and/or
object may increase in the following situ-
2144-5. Using the driving support systems
on the position above the rear bumper

■Situations in which the system may
operate even if there is no possibility of a
collision

sary detecting a vehicl e and/or object may
increase in the following situations:
●When the parking sp ace faces a street
and vehicles are being driven on the
street
