Seat belts are installed in your vehicle to help
reduce the risk of injury to the driver and pas-
senger in the event of an accident. Always
use the provided seat belts.
Carefully review the following information
for proper seat belt usage.
CAUTION
 Check that the lock knob (A) is extended out
as shown in the illustration. Then pull the
head restraint up to make sure that it is
locked in place and will not come out of the
seatback.
CAUTION
 The shape and size of the head restraint dif-
fers according to the seat. Always use the
correct head restraint provided for the seat
and do not install the head restraint in the
wrong direction.

WARNING
 To help reduce the risk of injury or death
in an accident, seat belts and child
restraint systems must always be used.
Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page
4-15 for additional information.
 Never use one seat belt for more than one
person.
 Never carry more people in your vehicle
than there are seat belts.
 Always adjust the seat belt for a snug fit.
 Always place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never put
it behind you or under your arm.
 Always wear the lap belt as low as possible
across your hips, not around your waist.
 Never insert any foreign object, such as a
piece of plastic, paper clip, button or coin,
into the seat belt buckle.
 Never modify or alter the seat belts in
your vehicle.
 To reduce the risk to the driver of serious
injury or death during deployment of the
driver’s airbag, always properly wear the
seat belt and adjust the driver’s seat as far
back as possible while maintaining a posi-
tion that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel,
and safely operate the vehicle.
