4-5
•
To help prevent injury in the event of a sudden
stop or accident, the driver and all passengers
must wear their seat belts correctly.
•
When wearing your seat belt, sit back in your
seat with your back straight. If a seat belt is used
incorrectly, its effectiveness is greatly dimin-
ished and it could aggravate injuries in the event
of accident.
•
For details of seat belt usage for children and
pregnant women, refer to “Children and babies”
and to “Pregnant women”. P. 4-8
•
The left and right seats feature 3-point lap and
shoulder belts with Emergency Locking Retrac-
tor (ELR), while the middle seat features a 2-
point lap belt.
Seat belts
WARNING
•
Passengers must never be in the cargo
area while the vehicle is in motion. Unless
seated and properly belted up, the risk of
injury is greatly increased.
•
Seat belts should be worn as low as possi-
ble over the hips. Wearing a seat belt
across the abdomen could be dangerous
since undue pressure would be placed on
internal organs in the event of a collision.
•
Make sure that the seat belt is not twisted
when fastening it. A twisted seat belt could
be dangerous since its reduced width will
apply a larger force to a smaller part of
your body in the event of impact.
•
Replace any seat belt that is cut or frayed,
or if its buckle does not work properly.
•
Never use a single seat belt for more than
one person.
•
It is dangerous to fasten or unfasten your
seat belt while driving since the momen-
tary diversion of your attention could lead
to a serious accident. Always stop the
vehicle first.
