child restraint systems. For more information,
refer to ISOFIX — Child Seat Anchorage Sys-
tem.
NOTE:
The Advanced Front Airbags have a multi-
stage inflator design. This allows the airbag
to have different rates of inflation based on
the severity and type of collision.
Please pay close attention to the information in
this section. It tells you how to use your restraint
system properly, to keep you and your passen-
gers as safe as possible.
WARNING!
In an accident, you and your passengers can
suffer much greater injuries if you are not
properly buckled up. You can strike the interior
of your vehicle or other passengers, or you
can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be
sure you and others in your vehicle are buck-
led up properly.
Buckle up even though you are an excellent
driver, even on short trips. Someone on the
road may be a poor driver and cause an
accident that includes you. This can happen far
away from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives,
and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries
in an accident. Some of the worst injuries
happen when people are thrown from the ve-
hicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejec-
tion and the risk of injury caused by striking the
inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor
vehicle should be belted at all times.

Lap/Shoulder Belts

All seating positions in your vehicle are
equipped with lap/shoulder belts. The belt
webbing retractor is designed to lock during
very sudden stops or accidents. This feature
allows the shoulder part of the belt to move
freely with you under normal conditions. How-
ever, in an accident the belt will lock and
reduce the risk of you striking the inside of the
vehicle or being thrown out.
WARNING!
• No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either prevent
the seat belt adjusting devices from oper-
ating to remove slack, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted to re-
move slack.
• Seat belts are designed to bear upon the
bony structure of the body, and should be
worn low across the front of the pelvis or
the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as appli-
cable; wearing the lap section of the belt
across the abdominal area must be
avoided.
• Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort, to pro-
vide the protection for which they have
been designed. A slack belt will greatly
reduce the protection afforded to the
wearer.
