Safety features of your vehicle
Seat belt warning
Driver’s seat belt warning (1)
As a reminder to the driver, the seat
belt warning light will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds each time
you turn the ignition switch ON
regardless of belt fastening.
If the driver’s seat belt is unfastened
after the ignition switch is ON, the
seat belt warning light illuminates
until the belt is fastened.
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.
• When you fasten the seat belt,
be careful not to latch the seat
belt in buckles of other seat. It's
very dangerous and you may
not be protected by the seat belt
properly.
• Do not unfasten the seat belt
and do not fasten and unfasten
the seat belt repeatedly while
driving. This could result in
loss of control, and an accident
causing death, serious injury,
or property damage.
• When fastening the seat belt,
make sure that the seat belt
does not pass over objects that
are hard or can break easily.
• Make sure there is nothing in
the buckle. The seat belt may
not be fastened securely.

(Continued)
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, con-
taminated or damaged. It is
essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn
in a severe impact even if dam-
age to the assembly is not obvi-
ous. Belts should not be worn
with straps twisted. 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.
