Caution: To help avoid personal injury from unrepaired crash damage to a restraint system, perform the seat belt check for each seat belt system. Replace the seat belt system if there is any doubt about the condition of system components.

1. The front seat belt system includes driver and/or passenger seat belt retractors and a pre-tensioner type seat belt buckle.
2. The driver's seat belt system includes a seat belt switch in the driver's seat buckle. The seat belt switch controls a reminder lamp and a tone alarm. When the driver's seat belt is buckled, the driver's door is closed, and the ignition switch is turned ON, the following events will occur:

•	The tone alarm will not operate.

•	The reminder lamp will not operate.

3. When the driver's seat belt is not buckled, the driver's door is closed, and the ignition switch is in ON, the following events will occur:

•	The tone alarm will operate for 4 to 8 seconds and then go OFF.

•	The reminder lamp will operate for 20 seconds, until the driver's seat belt is buckled.

•	To diagnose a failure of the reminder lamp or the tone alarm, refer to Diagnostic System Check .

The rear seat belt system includes the following components:

Caution: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured if the right-front passengers air bag inflates. This is because the back of a rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating air bag. NEVER use a rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle. If a forward-facing child restraint is suitable for your child, ALWAYS move the front passenger seat as far back as it will go and then install the child restraint. Be sure the child restraint position does not conflict with any additional requirements provided by the manufacturer. For more information, refer to the vehicle owners manual and the instruction that came with the child restraint.

The child seat may only be used in a forward-facing seating position. The child seat should be installed and secured according to the manufacturer's directions. If the child seat has a top strap, the strap will need to be anchored. Passengers should not be allowed to sit at locations where the seat belts are being used to secure the child seat.

All vehicles are equipped with a dual-mode type retractor with emergency and automatic locking features. The automatic locking feature is for restraint of a child seat. The child seat can be secured by pulling the seat belt all the way out in order to lock the belt. Then, tighten the seat belt around the child seat.

If a child seat is to be used in the rear seat, a special anchor must be used to anchor the child seat top strap. (This only applies to the seats designed with the top strap provision and for the vehicles sold in Canada). In order to ensure the correct top strap angle, child seat anchors are provided for all 3 seat positions in the rear seat, in addition to the 3 shoulder belt retractors.
