Vehicle safety controls
tion of the rear seatback is folded down, distortion and damage to the top portion of
the seatback and seat belt garnish may result, causing the seatback to lock into the
folded down position.
• Do not force to lock the left or right seat belt into the centre seat belt buckle. Make
sure to lock the rear centre seat belt into the centre seat belt buckle. If not, the im
properly fastened seat belt will not be able to provide protection.
NOTE
• When pulling out to wear the seat belt, the tongue should be slowly pulled out of the
seat belt guide so that the seat belt guide does not come off the trim.
• Although the front passenger seat is not occupied, the seat belt warning light will
blink or appear for 6 seconds.
• The front passenger's seat belt warning may operate when luggage is placed.
• If you are not able to pull out the seat belt from the retractor, firmly pull the belt out
and release it. Then you will be able to pull the belt out smoothly.
• The pre-tensioner will activate not only in a frontal collision but also in a side colli
sion, if the vehicle is equipped with a side or curtain air bag.
• When the seat belt pre-tensioners are activated, a loud noise may be heard and fine
dust, which may appear to be smoke, may be visible in the passenger compartment.
These are normal operating conditions and are not hazardous.
• Although it is harmless, the fine dust may cause skin irritation and should not be
breathed for prolonged periods. Wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly after an
accident in which the seat belt pre-tensioners were activated.
• Because the sensor that activates the SRS air bag is connected with the seat belt
pre-tensioner, the SRS air bag warning light will appear for approximately 3~6 sec
onds after the vehicle is in ON position, and then it should turn off.
• Small children are best protected from injury in an accident when properly re
strained in the rear seat by a child restraint system that meets the requirements
of the Safety Standards of your country. Before buying any child restraint system,
make sure that it has label certifying that it meets Safety Standards of your country.
The restraint must be appropriate for your child's height and weight. Check the label
on the child restraint for this information. Refer to "Child restraint system (CRS)" on
page 4-26.
