Seat belt precautions
WARNING
All occupants of the vehicle must wear
their seat belts at all times. Seat belts
and child restraints reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries for all occupants
in the event of a collision or sudden stop.
Without a seat belt, occupants could be
shifted too close to a deploying air bag,
strike the interior structure or be thrown
from the vehicle. Properly worn seat
belts greatly reduce these hazards.
Always follow the precautions about
seat belts, air bags and occupant seat
contained in this manual.
Infant or small child
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child and/
or infant seats must be properly placed
and installed in the rear seat.
For more information about the use of
these restraints, refer to "Child restraint
system (CRS)" on page 3-35.
WARNING
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, including
infants and children. Never hold a child
in your arms or lap when riding in a vehi-
cle. The violent forces created during a
crash will tear the child from your arms
and throw the child against the interior.
Always use a child restraint appropriate
for your child's height and weight.
NOTICE
Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly
restrained in the rear seat by a child
restraint system that meets the require-
ments of the Safety Standards of your
country. Before buying any child
restraint system, make sure that it has a
label certifying that it meets Safety Stan-
dards of your country. The restraint
must be appropriate for your child's
height and weight. Check the label on
the child restraint for this information.
Refer to "Child restraint system (CRS)"
on page 3-35.
Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always occupy
the rear seat and use the available lap/
shoulder belts. The lap portion should be
fastened and snugged on the hips and
as low as possible. Check if the belt fits
periodically. A child's squirming could
put the belt out of position. Children are
afforded the most safety in the event of
an accident when they are restrained by
a proper restraint system in the rear
seat. If a larger child (over age 13) must
be seated in the front seat, the child
should be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt and the seat
should be placed in the rearmost posi-
tion. Children age 13 and under should
be restrained securely in the rear seat.
NEVER place a child age 13 and under in
the front seat. NEVER place a rear facing
child seat in the front seat of a vehicle.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child's neck or face, try plac-
ing the child closer to the centre of the
vehicle. If the shoulder belt still touches
