BEFORE DRIVING
79MH0-74E
There are two kinds of operations on the
driver’s seat belt reminder depending on
the vehicle’s specification.
Type A
When the driver doesn’t buckle his or her
seat belt with the ignition switch in the
“ON” position or the ignition mode is “ON”,
the driver’s seat belt reminder light in the
instrument cluster will blink until the
driver’s seat belt is buckled.
Type B
If the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode to
“ON”. The reminder works as follows:
1) The driver’s seat belt reminder light will
come on.
2) After the vehicle’s speed has reached
about 15 km/h, the driver’s seat belt
reminder light will blink and a buzzer
will sound for about 95 seconds.
3) After step 2) has finished, the reminder
light will remain on until the driver’s seat
belt is buckled.
If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt
and later unbuckles the seat belt, the
reminder system will be activated from
step 1) or step 2) according to the vehicle’s
speed. When the vehicle’s speed is below
about 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
step 1). When the vehicle’s speed is above
about 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
step 2).
The reminder will be automatically can-
celed when the driver’s seat belt is buckled
or the ignition switch is turned off, or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “LOCK” (OFF).
Shoulder Anchor Height Adjuster
64J198
Adjust the shoulder anchor height so that
the shoulder belt rides on the center of the
outboard shoulder. To move upward, slide
the anchor up. To move downward, slide
the anchor down while pulling the lock
knob out. After adjustment, make sure that
the anchor is securely locked.
Seat Belt Inspection
65D209S
Periodically inspect the seat belts to make
sure they work properly and are not dam-
aged. Check the webbing, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, anchorages, and guide
loops. Replace any seat belts which do not
work properly or are damaged.
WARNING
It is absolutely essential that the
driver and passengers wear their seat
belts at all times. Persons who are
not wearing seat belts have a much
greater risk of injury if an accident
occurs. Make a regular habit of buck-
ling your seat belt before putting the
key in the ignition or pressing the
engine switch.
EXAMPLE
WARNING
Be sure that the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned on the center of the outside
shoulder. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not fall-
ing off your shoulder. Misadjustment
of the belt could reduce the effective-
ness of the safety belt in a crash.
