4-8 Seat and steering wheel adjustments
5 Seat belt care
•
Periodically, check the action of the mechanical
parts such as the buckles, tangs, and emer-
gency locking retractor (ELR) units. Check also
for any damage that could stop the seat belts
from functioning properly.
Replace seat belt unit if there is any malfunction
or damage.
• Replace any webbing that is cut, frayed, or oth-
erwise damaged.
• Replace any seat belt that has received a shock
due to a collision.
• Keep sharp or other potentially damaging
objects away from the seat belts, especially the
webbing.
• Keep the seat belts clean and dry. Use a mild
soap and lukewarm water to clean seat belts.
Such solvents as gasoline and thinner may seri-
ously affect the strength of the webbing.
P. 1 2 - 9 5
• Never attempt to bleach or dye the seat belts, as
this could weaken them considerably.
• Do not attempt to remove the seat belts or dis-
assemble the ELR units.
The steering wheel can be adjusted to the preferred
height and tilted forward/backward. Adjust the
steering wheel as well as the seat to the best posi-
tions for easy safe driving.
Steering wheel
WARNING
• After every adjustment, try to move the
steering wheel back and forth to make
sure that it is securely locked. Unless the
lever returns to its original position, the
steering wheel may move while the vehicle
is in motion and cause an accident.
• Make adjustments with the vehicle station-
ary. Adjusting the steering wheel while
driving is dangerous since it could detract
from your concentration or cause the
steering wheel to move more than desired.
