WARNING (Continued)
• Wearing seat belts is a legal requirement. The driver is responsible not only
for wearing a seat belt himself/herself but also for prompting all passengers to
wear their seat belts. It is necessary, however, to check with a doctor about the
appropriateness of a seat belt for an expectant mother or a passenger with a
chest/abdominal condition.
Every seat except the center seat on your vehicle is equipped with a three-point seat
belt. The seat belt extends or retracts freely if the wearer moves slowly, but it locks and
restrains the occupant during forward force caused by the occupant's body following
a strong shock. Adjust the driver's shoulder belt for proper position by means of the
shoulder anchor.

Three-Point Seat Belts
• The shoulder belt should be
adequately positioned on your
shoulder but should not touch your
neck and/or face. The shoulder
belt could harm you in a collision or
sudden stop if it is in contact with
your neck and/or face.
To Fasten
1. Sit on the seat in the correct driving
position.
2. Pull out the seat belt holding the latch
plate. After checking that there are no
twists in the belt, insert the latch plate
into the buckle until it clicks.
3. Position the lap belt so that it snugly
fits as low as possible on the hips.
