Seat Belts

About Your Seat Belts

Seat belts are the single most effective safety device because they keep you

connected to the vehicle so that you can take advantage of many built-in safety

features. They also help to keep you from being thrown against the inside of the

vehicle, against any passengers, or out of the vehicle. When worn properly, seat

belts also keep your body properly positioned in a crash so that you can take full

advantage of the additional protection provided by the airbags.

In addition, seat belts help to protect you in almost every type of crash, including:

- frontal impacts

- side impacts

- rear impacts

- rollovers

1About Your Seat Belts

WARNING: 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 applicable; wearing the lap section of

the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.

WARNING: Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as

possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the

protection for which they have been designed. A

slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded

to the wearer.

WARNING: Belts should not be worn with straps

twisted.

WARNING: Each belt assembly must only be used by

one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a

child being carried on the occupant’s lap.

WARNING

Not wearing a seat belt properly increases

the chance of serious injury or death in a

crash, even though your vehicle has

airbags.

Be sure you and your passengers always

wear seat belts and wear them properly.

Lap/shoulder seat belts

All five seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts with emergency

locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you move freely while keeping

some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop, the retractor locks to

restrain your body.

The seat belt must be properly secured when using a front-facing child restraint

system.

2 Child Safety P. 77

1About Your Seat Belts

If you extend the seat belt too quickly, it will lock in

place. If this happens, slightly retract the seat belt,

then extend it slowly.

Seat belts cannot completely protect you in every

crash. But in most cases, seat belts can reduce your

risk of serious injury.

Most countries require you to wear seat belts. Take

time to familiarise with the legal requirements of the

countries in which you will drive.

Proper use of seat belts

Follow these guidelines for proper use:

• All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that position

for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduce the effectiveness of the

belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

• Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or

behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.

• Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very

seriously injured in a crash.

• Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improve comfort

or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective capability

and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

Front seats

The seat belt system includes an indicator on

the instrument panel to remind the driver or a

front passenger or both to fasten their seat

belts.

If you set the power mode to ON and a seat

belt is not fastened, the indicator will come

on.

The beeper will periodically sound and the

indicator will blink if you start driving without

fastening a seat belt.

■

Seat Belt Reminder

1Seat Belt Reminder

The indicator will also come on if a front passenger

does not fasten their seat belt within six seconds after

the power mode is set to ON.

When no one is sitting in the front passenger’s seat,

the indicator will not come on and the beeper will not

sound.

If the indicator comes on or the beeper sounds with

no one sitting in the front passenger’s seat. Check if:

• There is nothing heavy placed on the front

passenger seat.

• The driver’s seat belt is fastened.

If the indicator does not light when the passenger is

seated and is not fastened, something may be

interfering with the occupant detection sensor.

Check if:

• A cushion is placed on the seat.

• The front passenger is not sitting properly.

If none of these conditions exist, have your vehicle

checked by a dealer.

the status of the rear seat belts use.

The display appears when:

• Any of the rear passenger seat belts are

unfastened when the power mode is set to

ON.

• A rear door is opened and then closed.

• Any of the rear passengers fasten or

unfasten their seat belt.

The seat belt reminder indicator blinks and the

The front seats and the outer rear seats are

equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners

to enhance safety.

The tensioners automatically tighten the front

seat belts and the outer rear seat belts during

a moderate-to-severe frontal collision,

sometimes even if the collision is not severe

enough to inflate the front airbags or the

driver's knee airbag.

Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners

1Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners

The seat belt tensioners can only operate once.

If a tensioner is activated, the SRS indicator will come

on. Have a dealer replace the tensioner and

thoroughly inspect the seat belt system as it may not

offer protection in a subsequent crash.

During a moderate-to-severe side impact, the

tensioners on both sides of the vehicle also activate.

Fastening a Seat Belt

After adjusting a front seat to the proper position, and while sitting upright and well

back in the seat (see illustrations for correct seating posture):

2 Seats P. 208

1. Pull the seat belt out slowly.

2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then

tug on the belt to make sure the buckle is

secure.

u Make sure that the belt is not twisted or

caught on anything.

1Fastening a Seat Belt

No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat

belt or one that does not appear to be working

correctly. Using a seat belt that is not working

properly may not protect the occupant in a crash.

Have a dealer check the belt as soon as possible.

Never insert any foreign objects into the buckle or

retractor mechanism.

If the seat belt appears to be locked in a fully

retracted position, firmly pull out on the shoulder belt

once, then push it back in.

Then, smoothly pull it out of the retractor and fasten.

If you are unable to release the seat belt from a fully

retracted position, do not allow anyone to sit in the

seat, and take your vehicle to a dealer for repair.

3. Position the lap part of the belt as low as

possible across your hips (see illustration),

then pull up on the shoulder part of the belt

so the lap part fits snugly. This lets your

strong pelvic bones take the force of a crash

and reduces the chance of internal injuries.

4. If necessary, pull up on the belt again to

remove any slack, then check that the belt

rests across the centre of your chest and

over your shoulder. This spreads the forces

of a crash over the strongest bones in your

upper body.

1Fastening a Seat Belt

To release the belt, push the red PRESS button and

then guide the belt by hand until it has retracted

completely.

When exiting the vehicle, be sure the belt is properly

stowed so that it will not get caught in the closing

door.

WARNING

Improperly positioning the seat belts can

cause serious injury or death in a crash.

Make sure all seat belts are properly

positioned before driving.

Consider alternative:

If you are pregnant, the best way to protect yourself and your unborn child when

driving or riding in a vehicle is to always wear a seat belt. When positioning the seat

belt, wear the shoulder belt section across the chest, avoiding the abdomen, and

keep the lap belt portion as low as possible across the hips. (See illustration.)

Advice for Pregnant Women

1Advice for Pregnant Women

Each time you have a checkup, ask your doctor if it is

okay for you to drive.

To reduce the risk of injuries to both you and your

unborn child that can be caused by an inflating front

airbag:

• When driving, sit upright and adjust the seat as far

back as possible while allowing full control of the

vehicle.

• When sitting in the front passenger's seat, adjust

the seat as far back as possible.

uuSeat BeltsuSeat Belt Inspection

Safe Driving

Seat Belt Inspection

Regularly check the condition of your seat belts as follows:

• Pull each belt out fully, and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.

• Check that the latch plates and buckles work smoothly and the belts retract

easily.

u If a belt does not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the problem. Only

use a mild soap and warm water. Do not use bleach or cleaning solvents. Make

sure the belt is completely dry before allowing it to retract.

Any belt that is not in good condition or working properly will not provide proper

protection and should be replaced as soon as possible.

A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level of

protection in a subsequent crash. Have your seat belts inspected by a dealer after

any collision.

1Seat Belt Inspection

WARNING: No modifications or additions should be

made by the user which will either prevent the seat

belt adjusting devices from operating to remove

slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being

adjusted to remove slack.

WARNING: It is essential to replace the entire

assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact

even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.

WARNING: Care should be taken to avoid

contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and

chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning

may safely be carried out using mild soap and water.

The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes

frayed, contaminated or damaged.

WARNING

Not checking or maintaining seat belts can

result in serious injury or death if the seat

belts do not work properly when needed.

Check your seat belts regularly and have

any problem corrected as soon as possible.
