Seats and Restraints
When the passenger's seat belt is
fully taken up (or not pulled out),
check that the stopper is holding the
belt in a fully taut state.
Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) Function
The three-point seat belts are
provided with an Emergency
Locking Retractor (ELR) function.
The ELR normally allows the seat
belt to move in and out freely as the
occupant moves. However, it locks
the seat belt to restrain the
occupant when a forward force
resulting from a collision or sudden
stop acts on the occupant.
The ELR also locks the seat belt
when the belt is pulled out quickly.
If this happens, allow it to retract
once and then pull it out slowly.
Seat Belt Use During
Pregnancy
{
Warning
Unless the seat belt is correctly
worn, it may dig into the abdomen
in the event of hard braking or a
collision, harming not only the
expectant mother but also the
unborn child, putting them both in
danger of serious injuries or
death.
An expectant mother or a person
who is ill riding in the vehicle must
also wear a seat belt. In light of the
risk that the seat belt will apply
pressure to the abdomen, chest and
shoulders in the event of a collision,
however, an expectant mother or
person who is ill should get advice
from a physician beforehand.
.
An expectant mother should use
a three-point seat belt.
.
An expectant mother should
position the lap belt snugly as
low as possible on the hips (not
across the abdomen). Also, she
should fasten the shoulder belt
so it rests on her chest, not on
her abdomen.
Lap Belt
The center seat lap belt has no
retractor, but should be positioned,
worn, and released as described
below.
To Fasten:
1. Sit on the seat in the correct
position.
