1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

Pre-collision seat belts (front seats of vehicles with pre-collision system)

If the pre-collision sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the pre-

collision system will retract the seat belt, helping to enhance occupant

protection.

The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking or loses con-

trol of the vehicle. (

■

Emergency locking retractor (ELR)

The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also lock if

you lean forward or pull out the belt too quickly. Allow the belt to fully retract, and

then slowly extend the belt. If the belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly

pull the belt and release it. You will then be able to smoothly pull the belt out of the

retractor.

■

Automatic locking retractor (ALR)

When a passenger’s shoulder belt is completely extended and then retracted even

slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This feature is

used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, fully

retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more. (

■

Pregnant women

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt

in the proper way. (

→

P. 62)

Women who are pregnant should position

the lap belt as low as possible over the hips in

the same manner as other occupants. Extend

the shoulder belt completely over the shoul-

der and position the belt across the chest.

Avoid belt contact over the rounding of the

abdominal area.

If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only a

pregnant woman, but also the fetus could suf-

fer death or serious injury as a result of sud-

den braking or a collision.
