Seat belt pretensioners (front seats)

The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the occu-
pants by retracting the seat belts
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal col-
lision.
The pretensioners do not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a side impact, a rear
impact or a vehicle rollover.

Emergency locking retractor (ELR)

■
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.

Child seat belt usage

■
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult
size.
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
●
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt. (→P. 46)
When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat
●
belt, follow the instructions regarding seat belt usage. (→P. 32)
Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
■
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for
the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.
