Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 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 serious 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. UZS000BA 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 extender itself. For the safety of others, the extender should be removed after each use, especially if the next person using the seatbelt does not need one. - CONTINUED - 1-33
