WARNING
Using a seat belt extender
■
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or seri-
ous injury.
●
Do not wear the seat belt extender if
you can fasten the seat belt without the
extender.
●
Do not use the seat belt extender
when installing a child restraint system
because the belt will not securely hold
the child restraint system, increasing
the risk of death or serious injury in the
event of an accident.
The personalized extender may not be
●
safe on another vehicle, when used by
another person, or at a different seat-
ing position other than the one origi-
nally intended.
NOTICE

Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
■
The retractor will lock the belt during a sud-
den stop or on impact. It may also lock if you
lean forward too quickly. When the seat belt
locks, pull the belt strongly and then release
the belt, then a slow and easy pulling will
allow the belt to extend.
■
Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger's shoulder belt is com-
pletely extended and then retracted even
slightly, the belt is locked in that position and
cannot be extended. This feature is used to
hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt
and then pull the belt out once more.
