Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
and warnings could reduce the
effectiveness of the seatbelt and
result in more serious injury in the
event of a collision.
. Never use the extender when the
belt itself is long enough to
permit it to be buckled properly.
If removal of heavy clothing is all
that is needed to permit the
seatbelt to be buckled properly,
remove the heavy clothing and
do not use the extender.
. Do not use the extender if the
buckle of the extender rests over
the abdomen.
. Do not let someone else use the
extender. Use of an extender
when it is not needed could
reduce the effectiveness of the
seatbelt and result in more ser-
ious injury in the event of a
collision.
. Use the extender only for the
front seatbelts and only for the
model for which it was originally
provided. Never use the extender
for the rear seatbelts or for a
different model.
NOTE
When the seatbelt extender is used by
a pregnant passenger, consult a doctor
to get approval in advance.
To connect the extender to the seatbelt,
insert the tongue plate into the seatbelt
buckle so that the
“PRESS” signs on the
buckle-release buttons of the extender
and the seatbelt are both facing outward
as shown in the diagram. You will hear a
click when the tongue plate locks into the
buckle.
When releasing the seatbelt, press on the
buckle-release button on the extender, not
on the seatbelt. This helps to prevent
damage to the vehicle interior and ex-
tender itself.
Front seatbelt pretensioners
The driver ’s and front passenger’s seat-
belts have a seatbelt pretensioner. The
seatbelt pretensioners are designed to be
activated in the event of an accident
involving a moderate to severe frontal
collision.
Also, the seatbelt pretensioners are de-
signed to be activated in the event of an
accident involving a moderate to severe
side impact collision.
The pretensioner sensor also serves as
the frontal and side SRS airbag sensors. If
the sensors detect a certain predeter-
mined amount of force during a frontal
collision or a side impact collision, the
front seatbelt is quickly drawn back in by
