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 sudden 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 
completely extended and then 
retracted even slightly, the belt is 
locked in that position and cannot 
be extended. This feature is used to 
hold the child restraint system 
(CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, 
fully retract the belt and then pull the 
belt out once more. ( P. 4 7 )
1Push the seat belt shoulder 
anchor down while pressing 
the release button  .
2 Push the seat belt shoulder 
anchor up while pressing the 
release button  .
Move the height adjuster up and 
down as needed until you hear a 
click.
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, increas-
ing the risk of  death or serious 
injury in the event of an acci-
dent.
●The personalized extender may 
not be safe on another vehicle, 
when used by another person, 
or at a different seating position 
other than the one originally 
intended.
NOTICE
■When using a seat belt 
extender
When releasing the seat belt, 
press on the buckle release but-
ton on the extender, not on the 
seat belt.
This helps prevent damage to the 
vehicle interior and the extender 
itself.

501-2. Child safety
install the child restraint system:
Move the front seat fully rear-
ward.
 Adjust the seat height to the 
upper most position.
 Adjust the seatback angle to 
the most upright position.
 If the head restraint interferes 
with the child restraint system 
installation and the head 
restraint can be removed, 
remove the head restraint.
Otherwise, put the head restraint in 
the upper most position.
WARNING
■When using a child restraint 
system
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in 
death or serious injury.
●Never install a rear-facing child 
restraint system on the front 
passenger seat even if the “AIR 
BAG OFF” indicator light is illu-
minated. In the event of an acci-
dent, the force of the rapid 
inflation of the front passenger 
airbag can cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child if the 
rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem is installed on the front pas-
senger seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint 
system may be installed on the 
front passenger 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 passenger seat only when 
it is unavoidable. When install-
ing a forward-facing child 
restraint system on the front 
passenger seat, adjust the seat-
back angle to the  most upright 
position, move the seat to the 
rearmost position, and raise the 
seat to the upper most position, 
even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated.
