Seat and Restraint System
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
This vehicle provides shoulder belt height
adjusters on the driver and front passenger
seats.
Adjust the height and allow the shoulder
belt portion of the seat belt to be centered
on the shoulder. The seat belt should be
kept away from the face and neck but not
so that it could fall off the shoulder. Incor-
rect adjustment of shoulder belt height may
reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in
the event of a collision.
Press the release the button as shown and
move the height adjuster to the desired
position. The adjuster can be moved up by
pushing the slider trim board up. After set-
ting the adjuster to the desired position, try
to move the adjuster down without pressing
the release button to make sure that it is
securely locked in place.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
A seat belt pretensioner is provided for the
front seat belt of your vehicle. The seat belt
pretensioner is a part of the seat belt
assembly though it is invisible. It will work in
the event of a frontal collision.
The pretensioner can work only once. If the
pretensioner has been activated in a colli-
sion, it may needs to be replaced with a
new one. At the same, other components of
the seat belt system may also need to be
replaced. Refer to "Replace Components of
Seat Belt System after a Collision" in Sec-
tion 4 "Seat and Restraint System".
Seat Belt Reminder
The vehicle is equipped with the driver and
front passenger seat belt reminder light and
buzzer to alert the driver and front passen-
ger to fasten their seat belts. Refer to
"Instruction of Warning Light and Indicator"
in Section 2 "Instrument and Control" for the
position of each warning light.
Operation of Warning Light and
Buzzer
•
When the ignition switch is in a position
other than ON, the seat belt warning
cannot be triggered regardless of
whether or not the seat belt is fastened
or not; if the driver or front passenger
seat belt is unfastened with the ignition
switch ON, the relative warning light will
remain on until the seat belt is fastened.
When the buzzer is activated, the corre-
sponding warning light will flash simulta-
neously.
