WARNING
Fastening the seatbelt with the webbing twisted can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident.
When fastening the belt after it is pulled out from the retractor, especially when inserting the connector's tongue plate into the mating buckle (on right-hand side), always check that the webbing is not twisted.
WARNING
If the seatbelt is used only as a shoulder belt (with the connector's tongue plate not fastened to the connector's buckle on the right-hand side), it cannot properly restrain the wearer in position in an accident, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
Before sitting on the seat, raise the head restraint to the extended position. Otherwise, in an accident, serious injury or death could result.
1. Raise the head restraint to the extended position. Do not remove the head restraint.
2. Remove the tongue plate from the belt holder on the right side of the cargo area and pull out the seatbelt slowly.
3. After drawing out the seatbelt, pass it through the belt guide as follows: First insert one edge of the belt into the open gap in the belt guide; then slide the rest of the belt in, so that the whole belt fits inside.
4. After confirming that the webbing is not twisted, insert the connector (tongue) attached at the webbing end into the buckle on the right-hand side until a click is heard.
5. Insert the center seatbelt tongue plate into the center seatbelt buckle marked "CENTER" on the left-hand side until it clicks.
6. To make the lap part tight, pull up on the shoulder belt.
7. Place the lap belt as low as possible on your hips, not on your waist.
Unfastening the seatbelt
1. Push the release button of the center seatbelt buckle (on the left-hand side) to unfasten the seatbelt.
NOTE
When the seatback is folded down for greater cargo area, it is necessary to disconnect the connector.
2. Insert a tongue plate or other hard pointed object into the slot in the connector (buckle) on the right-hand side and push it in. The connector (tongue) plate will then disconnect from the buckle.
3. Allow the retractor to roll up the belt.
You should hold the webbing end and guide it back into the retractor while it is rolling up. Insert the connector (tongue) into the belt holder.
CAUTION
Otherwise, the metal tongue plates may hit against the trim, resulting in damaged trim.
