Seat belt instructions
All seats are equipped with a seat belt which
uses one combined lap-and-shoulder belt with
an emergency locking retractor.
This system is designed to provide both com-
fort and safety. It permits full extension and
automatic retraction of the belts during nor-
mal vehicle operation. A sensing device
inside the belt retractor is designed to lock the
retractor in the event of a sudden change in
the vehicle's motion.
NOTE
 For instructions on installing a child restraint
system using a seat belt, refer to "Installing a
child restraint system using the seat belt" on
page 4-32.
1. Occupants should always sit back in their
seats with their backs against the upright
N00406201513
seatback. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death during deployment of the
airbag, adjust the driver's seat as far back
as possible while maintaining a position
that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel,
and safely operate the vehicle. The front
passenger seat should also be moved as
far back as possible. Refer to "Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag"
on page 4-35. Also refer to "To adjust the
seat forward or backward" on page 4-5.
WARNING
 To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death in the event of an accident or sud-
den stop, all seatbacks should be kept in
the upright position while the vehicle is in
motion.
Seat belt performance during an accident
can be adversely affected if the seatbacks
are reclined. The more a seatback is
reclined, the more likely seat belt perfor-
mance will be adversely affected. If the
seat belt is not properly positioned against
the body during an accident, there is
increased risk you will slide under the belt
and receive serious injury or death.
2. Before using the center seat belt for sec-
ond row, make sure that the detachable
anchor is securely latched and the seat
belt is not twisted. For details, refer to
page 4-21.
