SEATS AND SEATBELTS
3–11
Seat belts
EG28ABQ
To protect you and your passengers in the
event of an accident, it is the most important
that the seat belts are worn correctly when
you drive.
The front seat belts have pre–tensioners.
These belts are used the same way as con-
ventional seat belts.
Refer to “Seat belt with pre–tensioner mech-
anism and force–limiter mechanism” on
page 3–14.
WARNING
(1) Never wear the shoulder portion
of the seat belt under the arm or
other position which is incorrect.
(2) One seat belt should be used by
only one person. Doing other-
wise can be dangerous.
(3) The seat belt will provide its
wearer with maximum protection
if the seatback recliner is placed
in fully upright position. When the
seatback is reclined, there is
greater risk that the passenger
will slide under the belt, especial-
ly in a forward impact accident,
and may be injured by the belt or
by striking the instrument panel
or seatbacks.
WARNING
(4) Seat belts should always be worn
by every adult who drives or rides
in this vehicle, and by all children
who are large enough to wear
seat belts properly.
(5) Remove any twists when using
the belt.
(6) 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 remove slack.

WARNING
(7) To reduce risk of serious or fatal
injury in an accident, including
from a deploying driver air bag,
the driver should adjust the
driver’s seat to the rear most
position that still allows good vis-
ibility and good control of the
steering wheel, the brake and ac-
celerator, and vehicle controls.
(8) Never hold a child in your arms or
on your lap when riding in this ve-
hicle, even if you are wearing
your seat belt. To do so risks se-
vere or fatal injury to your child in
a collision or sudden stop.
(9) Always adjust the belt to a snug
fit.
