RC F Owner's Manual
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 locked 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.42)
When fastening a front seat belt,
ensure that it is passed through the seat
belt guide. Passing the seat belt
through the guide enables the seat belt
to be easily extended.
When you get into or ou t of the rear seats,
release the seat belt from the seat belt
guide.
WARNING
●Do not use the seat belt extender
when installing a child restraint system
because the belt will not securely hold
the child restraint system, increasing
the risk of death or serious injury in the
event of an accident.
●The personalized extender may not be
safe on another vehicle, when used by
another person, or at a different seat-
ing position other than the one origi-
nally intended.
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
●Do not allow children to play with the
seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, it may
lead to choking or other serious inju-
ries that could result in death.

securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
●Shake the child restraint system left

to ensure that it has been securely
installed.
●After securing a child restraint system,
never adjust the seat.
●When a booster seat is installed,
