CAUTION

■

Using a seat belt comfort guide

●

Make sure the belt is not twisted and that it lies flat. The elastic cord must be

behind the belt and the guide must be on the front.

●

To reduce the chance of injury in case of an accident or a sudden stop while driv-

ing, remove and store the comfort guide in its pocket when it is not in use.

●

Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of the shoul-

der. The belt should be kept away from the neck, and should not fall off the shoul-

der.

Failure to observe these precautions could reduce the effectiveness of the seat

belt in an accident, causing death or serious injury.

■

Using a seat belt extender

●

Do not wear the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without the

extender.

●

Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system because

the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increasing the risk of

death or injury in the event of a collision.

●

The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when used by

another person, or at a different seating position other than the one originally

intended.

NOTICE

■

When using a seat belt extender

When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on the extender,

not on the seat belt.

This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and the extender itself.
