D If the seat belt extender has been connected to the
driver’s seat belt buckle without the driver actually
wearing the seat belt, the SRS driver’s airbag system
will judge that the driver is wearing it. In this case, the
driver’s airbag may not activate correctly, causing
death or serious injury in the event of collision. Be
sure to wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender.
D Make sure the front passenger occupant
classification indicator light indicates “ON” when
using the seat belt extender for the front passenger
seat. If the indicator light indicates “OFF”,
disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt
buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the
seat belt extender after making sure the indicator
light indicates “ON”. If you use the seat belt extender
while the indicator light indicates “OFF”, the front
passenger airbag and side airbag on the front
passenger side may not activate correctly, which
could cause death or serious injury in the event of
collision.
D Do not use the seat belt extender if it is not absolutely
necessary.
D Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a
child restraint system on the front or rear passenger
seat. If installing a child restraint system with the
seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat
belt will not securely hold the child restraint system,
which could cause death or serious injury to the child
or other passengers in the event of collision.
