Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/Seatbelts WARNING Fastening the seatbelt with the web- bing twisted can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident. When fastening the belt after it is pulled out from the retractor, espe- cially when inserting the connec- tor’s tongue plate into the mating buckle (on right-hand side), always check that the webbing is not twisted. 1-17 WARNING . Be sure to fasten both tongue plates to the respective buckles. If the seatbelt is used only as a shoulder belt (with the connec- tor’s tongue plate not fastened to the connector’s buckle on the right-hand side), it cannot prop- erly restrain the wearer in posi- tion in an accident, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. . The head restraint is not intended to be used at the lowest position. Before sitting on the seat, raise the head restraint to the ex- tended position. Otherwise, in an accident, serious injury or death could result. 1. Raise the head restraint to the ex- tended position. Do not remove the head restraint. 2. Remove the tongue plate from the belt holder on the right side of the cargo area and pull out the seatbelt slowly. – CONTINUED –
