Fastening the seat belt

CAUTION

Metallic parts of the seat belt can become very hot in a vehicle
that has been closed up in sunny weather; they could burn an oc-
cupant. Do not touch such hot parts.

OM-H0044

OM-H0043

Too high

Take up slack

Keep as low
on hip bone
as possible

1. Adjust the seat position:

Driver’s seat:

 Move the seat back as far from the steering wheel as

practical while still maintaining full vehicle control and adjust the seat-
back to the upright position.

Front passenger’s seat:

 Move the seat as far back as possible and ad-

just the seatback to the upright position.
2. Sit well back in the seat.
3. Pick up the tongue plate and pull the belt out slowly. Do not let it get
twisted. If the belt stops before reaching the buckle, return the belt
slightly and pull it out more slowly. If the belt still cannot be unlocked, let
the belt retract slightly after giving a strong pull on it, then pull it out
slowly again.
4. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle until you hear a click.
For the driver’s side seat belt, a seat belt warning device is provided; if
the driver is not wearing the seat belt with the ignition in the “ON” posi-
tion, the warning light on the instrument panel comes on and a warning
chime also sounds to remind the driver to wear the seat belt.
