Seat Belt Warning System
With the key in steering lock position 2,
a warning sounds for a short time if the
driver's seat belt is not fastened.
Warning!
Failure to wear and properly fasten
and position your seat belt greatly
increases your risk of injuries and
their likely severity in an accident.
You and your passengers should
always wear seat belts.
If you are ever in an accident, your
injuries can be considerably more
severe without your seat belt properly
buckled. Without your seat belt
buckled, you are much more likely to
hit the interior of the vehicle or be
ejected from it. You can be seriously
injured or killed.
In the same crash, the possibility for
injury or death is lessened with your
seat belt buckled.
Fastening of Seat Belts
1 Latch plate
2 Buckle
3 Release button
Push latch plate (1) into buckle (2)

The lap belt should be positioned as
low as possible on your hips and not

The shoulder portion of the seat belt
must be pulled snug and checked for
snugness immediately after engaging it.
The height setting for the shoulder
portion of the front seat belts are
automatically adjusted by the fore/aft
movement of the front seat.
