PRE-DRIVING OPERATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Seat Belts
Seat belts must be worn not only by the
driver but also by the passenger(s) before
the vehicle starts moving. You should be
fully acquainted with the proper use of seat
belts and important points to be respected
as described in the following pages.
Familiarizing yourself with the correct use
of seat belts is essential for your safety.
WARNING
• Wearing seat belts is a legal requirement. The driver is responsible not only
for wearing a seat belt himself/herself but also for prompting all passengers
to wear their seat belts. However, for expectant mothers and passengers who
have chest/abdominal conditions, it is necessary to check with a doctor about
the appropriateness of seat belts as well as for specific recommendations about
wearing seat belts.
• Seat belts must always be fastened before starting to drive.
• Have your child wear a seat belt. When driving with a small child, who cannot
wear a seat belt properly, use a suitable child restraint system (CRS).
• Do not let children play with seat belts. Playing by twisting seat belts around a
child's body in particular may cause serious injury, such as suffocation. If a seat
belt is twisted and gets stuck around a child's body, cut the belt using scissors,
etc.
• Do not disassemble the seat belts or modify the system.
• Be careful to keep the buckles and retractors free of dust and other foreign
matter (such as coins and paper clips).
• Do not place objects near the seat belts if the objects could damage the seat
belts.
• Regularly inspect to see if the seat belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, and
anchors function properly.
• Have seat belts inspected and, if necessary, replaced by the nearest Isuzu
Dealer when the webbing becomes frayed or worn and/or when the buckle
or other mechanical parts fail to work properly. You, your passengers and
especially your child are at risk of death or serious injury when using a seat with
a defective seat belt.
