Safety precautions when driving



Seatbelt and SRS airbag



All persons in the vehicle should fasten their

seatbelts BEFORE the vehicle starts to move.

Otherwise, the possibility of serious injury be-

comes greater in the event of a sudden stop or

accident.



To obtain maximum protection in the event of

an accident, the driver and all passengers in the

vehicle should always wear seatbelts when the

vehicle is moving. The SRS (Supplemental Re-

straint System) airbag does not do away with

the need to fasten seatbelts. In combination

with the seatbelts, it offers the best combined

protection in case of a serious accident.

Not wearing a seatbelt increases the chance of

severe injury or death in a crash even when the

car has the SRS airbag.



The SRS airbags deploy with considerable

speed and force. Occupants who are out of

proper position when the SRS airbag deploys

could suffer very serious injuries. Because the

SRS airbag needs enough space for deploy-

ment, the driver should always sit upright and

well back in the seat as far from the steering

wheel as practical while still maintaining full ve-

hicle control and the front passenger should

move the seat as far back as possible and sit

upright and well back in the seat.

Carefully read the sections “Seatbelts” and “*SRS air-

bag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)” in chap-

ter 1 of this owner’s manual for instructions and pre-

cautions concerning the seatbelt system and SRS air-

bag system.



Child safety



Never hold a child on your lap or in your arms

while the vehicle is moving. The passenger

cannot protect the child from injury in a colli-

sion, because the child will be caught between

the passenger and objects inside the vehicle.



While riding in the vehicle, infants and small

children should always be placed in the REAR

seat in an infant or child restraint system which

is appropriate for the child’s age, height and

weight. If a child is too big for a child restraint

system, the child should sit in the REAR seat

and be restrained using the seatbelts. Accord-

ing to accident statistics, children are safer

when properly restrained in the rear seating po-

sitions than in the front seating positions. Nev-

er allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat.



Put children aged 12 and under in the REAR

seat properly restrained at all times in a child

restraint device or in a seatbelt. The SRS airbag

deploys with considerable speed and force and

can injure or even kill children, especially if

they are 12 years of age and under and are not

restrained or improperly restrained. Because

children are lighter and weaker than adults,

their risk being injured from deployment is

greater.



NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO

RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE

CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO

CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.



Always use the child safety locks whenever a

child rides in the rear seat. Serious injury could

result if a child accidentally opened the door

and fell out. Refer to the “Child safety locks”

section in chapter 2.
