For safety reasons, avoid adjusting the
seat or seat back into positions which
could affect the correct seat belt
position.
Unfastening of Seat Belts
Push the release button (3) in the belt
buckle (2).
Allow the retractor to completely
rewind the seat belt by guiding the
latch plate (1).
Notes:
The rear seat belt buckles can be stored
in the space next to the rear armrest (to
the left and right of armrest). The rear
center seat belt should be latched and
stored under the armrest.
For cleaning and care of the seat belts,
see Cleaning and Care of the Vehicle
in Index.
Operation:
The inertia reel stops the belt from
unwinding during sudden vehicle stops
or when quickly pulling on the belt.
The locking function of the reel may be
checked by q
uickly pulling out the belt.
USE SEAT BELTS PROPERLY.
Warning!
• Each occupant should wear their
seat belt at all times, because seat
belts help reduce the likelihood of
and potential severity of injuries
in accidents, including rollovers.
"SRS" (driver airbag, passenger
airbag), "ETR" (seat belt
emergency tensioning retractors),
and knee bolsters are designed
to enhance the protection offered to
properly belted occupants in
certain frontal impacts which
exceed preset deployment
thresholds.
• Improperly p
ositioned seat belts do
not provide maximum protection
and may cause serious injuries in
case of a n accident.
•
Never wear the shoulder belt under
your arm, against your neck or off
your shoulder. In a crash, your
body would move too far forward.
That would increase the chance of
head and neck injuries. The belt
would also
apply too much force to the
ribs or
abdomen, which could severely
injure internal organs such as your
liver or spleen.
• Position the lap belt as low as
possible on your hips and not
across the abdomen. If the belt is
positioned across your abdomen, it
could cause serious injuries in a
crash.
• Each seat belt should never be
used for more than one person
at a time. Do not fasten a seat belt
around a person and objects.
• Belts should not be worn twisted.
In a crash, you wouldn't have
the full width of the belt to take
impact forces. The twisted belt
against your body could cause
injuries.
• Pregnant women should also use a
lap-shoulder belt. The lap belt
portion should be positioned as
low as possible on the hips to avoid
any possible pressure on the
abdomen.
