iii How to Use this Manual Many people read their owne r ’ s manual from beginning to end when they first receive their new vehicle. If you do this, it will help you learn about the features and controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll find that pictures and words work together to explain things quickl y . Safety W arnings and Symbols Y ou will find a number of safety cautions in this book. W e use a box and the word CAUTION to tell you about things that could hurt you if you were to ignore the warning. CAUTION: These mean the r e is something that could hurt you or other people. In the caution area, we tell you what the hazard is. Then we tell you what to do to help avoid or re[...]

iv V ehicle Damage W arnings Also, in this book you will find these notices: NOTICE: These mean there is something that could damage your vehicle. In the notice area, we tell you about something that can damage your vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered by your warranty , and it could be costly . But the notice will tell you what to do to help avoid the damage. When you read other manuals, you might see CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors or in different words. Y ou’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE. V ehicle Symbols Y our vehicle may be equipped with components and labels that use symbols instead of text. Sym[...]

v These are some examples of vehicle symbols you may find on your vehicle:[...]

1- 1-1 Section 1 Seats and Restraint Systems Here you’ll find information about the seats in your vehicle and how to use your safety belts properly . Y ou can also learn about some things you should not do with air bags and safety belts. 1 - 2 Seats and Seat Controls 1 - 8 Safety Belts: They’re for Everyone 1 - 12 Here Are Questions Many People Ask About Safety Belts -- and the Answers 1 - 13 How to W ear Safety Belts Properly 1 - 13 Driver Position 1 - 21 Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy 1 - 22 Right Front Passenger Position 1 - 22 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) 1 - 28 Rear Seat Passengers 1 - 32 Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides for Children and Small Adults 1 - 34 Center Passenger [...]

1-2 Seats and Seat Controls This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust them -- and also about reclining seatbacks and head restraints. Manual Front Seats CAUTION: Y ou can lose control of the vehicle if you try to adjust a manual driver’s seat while the vehicle is moving. The sudden movement could startle and confuse you, or make you push a pedal when you don’t want to. Adjust the driver’s seat only when the vehicle is not moving. Lift the lever located on the front of the driver ’ s seat to unlock it. Slide the seat to where you want it and release the lever . Then try to move the seat with your body , to make sure the seat is locked into place. Y our vehicle will be eq[...]

1-3 If your vehicle is not equipped with easy entry seats, your passenger seat adjuster looks like this. Slide the lever located under the passenger ’ s seat to the right to unlock it. Slide the seat to where you want it and release the lever . Then try to move the seat with your body , to make sure the seat is locked into place. If your vehicle is equipped with easy entry seats, this is your front passenger seat adjuster . Pull up on the lever located at the front of the passenger ’ s seat up to unlock it. Slide the seat to a comfortable position and release the lever . Then try to move the seat with your body , to make sure the seat is locked into place.[...]

1-4 Reclining Front Seatbacks T o adjust the seatback, lift the lever located on the outboard side of the seat and move the seatback to where you want it. Release the lever and push rearward on the seatback to make sure it is locked. Pull up on the lever without pushing on the seatback and the seatback will go to an upright position. But don’t have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is moving.[...]

1-5 CAUTION: Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job when you’re r eclined like this. The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it won’t be against your body . Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash you could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries. The lap belt can’t do its job either . In a crash the belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be ther e, not at your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries. For proper pr otection when the vehicle is in motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear your safety[...]

1-6 Seatback Latches (T wo-Door Models) The front seatback folds forward to let people get into the back seat. T o fold a front seatback forward, lift the latch located on the lower back side of the seatback and push the seatback forward. When you return the seatback to its original position, make sure the seatback is locked. The latch must be down for the seat to work properly . CAUTION: If the seatback isn’t locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always press r earward on the seatback to be sure it is locked. Easy Entry Seat (If Equipped) CAUTION: If an easy entry right front seat isn’t locked, it can move. In a sud[...]

1-7 Rear Seats Folding the Rear Seat T o fold down the rear seat, pull forward on the seat tab to unlatch the seatback. T o return the seat to its upright position, push the seatback up to its original latched position. Check to ensure the seatback is in its original position and securely latched by pulling forward on the top of the seatback. Move any objects in the trunk compartment that prevent the seatback from closing.[...]

1-8 Safety Belts: They’re for Everyone This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly . It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts. And it explains the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), or air bag system. CAUTION: Don’t let anyone ride where he or she can’t wear a safety belt properly . If you are in a crash and you’re not wearing a safety belt, your injuries can be much worse. Y ou can hit things inside the vehicle or be ejected from it. Y ou can be seriously injured or killed. In the same crash, you might not be if you are buckled up. Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your passengers’ belts are fastened pr operly too. CAU[...]

1-9 In most states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts. Here’ s why: They work. Y ou never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don’t know if it will be a bad one. A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive. But most crashes are in between. In many of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk away . W ithout belts they could have been badly hurt or killed. After more than 30 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear . In most crashes buckling up does matter ... a lot! Why Safety Belts W ork When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. T[...]

1-12 or the safety belts! W ith safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. Y ou get more time to stop. Y ou stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces. That’ s why safety belts make such good sense. Here Ar e Questions Many People Ask About Safety Belts -- and the Answers Q: W on’t I be trapped in the vehicle after an accident if I’m wearing a safety belt? A: Y ou could be -- whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you can unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re upside down. And your chance of being conscious during and after an accident, so you can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted. Q: If my vehicle has air bags, why shoul[...]

1-13 Q: If I’m a good driver , and I never drive far from home, why should I wear safety belts? A: Y ou may be an excellent driver , but if you’re in an accident -- even one that isn’t your fault -- you and your passengers can be hurt. Being a good driver doesn’t protect you from things beyond your control, such as bad drivers. Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 km) of home. And the greatest number of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less than 40 mph (65 km/h). Safety belts are for everyone. How to W ear Safety Belts Properly Adults This part is only for people of adult size. Be aware that there are special things to know about safety belts and children. And there[...]

1-14 Lap-Shoulder Belt The driver has a lap - shoulder belt. Here’ s how to wear it properly . 1. Close and lock the door . 2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight. T o see how , see “Seats” in the Index. 3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Don’t let it get twisted. The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt across you very quickly . If this happens, let the belt go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you more slowly . 4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section. Make sure the re[...]

1-15 5. T o make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle end of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder belt. The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces. The safety belt locks if there’ s a sudden stop or crash, or if you pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor .[...]

1-16 Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster (Four - Door Models) Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt adjuster to the height that is right for you. T o move it down, squeeze the release button and move the height adjuster to the desired position. Y ou can move the adjuster up just by pushing up on the shoulder belt guide. After you move the adjuster to where you want it, try to move it down without squeezing the release button to make sure it has locked into position. Adjust the height so that the shoulder portion of the belt is centered on your shoulder . The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder .[...]

1-17 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It won’t give nearly as much protection this way . CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury . The shoulder belt should fit against your body .[...]

1-18 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The belt is buckled in the wrong place. CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at the pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you.[...]

1-19 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder at all times. CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury . Also, the belt would apply too much force to the ribs, which aren’t as str ong as shoulder bones. Y ou could also severely injure internal organs like your liver or spleen.[...]

1-20 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The belt is twisted across the body . CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you wouldn’t have the full width of the belt to spread impact for ces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly , or ask your dealer to fix it.[...]

1-21 T o unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle. The belt should go back out of the way . Before you close the door , be sure the belt is out of the way . If you slam the door on it, you can damage both the belt and your vehicle. Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they don’t wear safety belts. A pregnant woman should wear a lap - shoulder belt, and the lap portion should be worn as low as possible, below the rounding, throughout the pregnancy .[...]

1-22 The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother . When a safety belt is worn properly , it’ s more likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts effective is wearing them properly . Right Front Passenger Position T o learn how to wear the right front passenger ’ s safety belt properly , see “Driver Position” earlier in this section. The right front passenger ’ s safety belt works the same way as the driver ’ s safety belt -- except for one thing. If you ever pull the shoulder portion of the belt out all the way , you will engage the child restraint locking feature. If this happens, just let the [...]

1-23 CAUTION: Air bags inflate with great for ce, faster than the blink of an eye. If you’re too close to an inflating air bag, as you would be if you were leaning forward, it could seriously injure you. Safety belts help keep you in position before and during a crash. Always wear your safety belt, even with air bags. The driver should sit as far back as possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. CAUTION: Anyone who is up against, or very close to, any air bag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Air bags plus lap - shoulder belts offer the best protection for adults, but not for young CAUTION: (Continued) CAUTION: (Continued) children and infants. Neither the[...]

1-24 How the Air Bag System W orks Where ar e the air bags? The driver ’ s air bag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The right front passenger ’ s air bag is in the instrument panel on the passenger ’ s side.[...]

1-25 CAUTION: If something is between an occupant and an air bag, the bag might not inflate properly or it might force the object into that person causing sever e injury or even death. The path of an inflating air bag must be kept clear . Don’t put anything between an occupant and an air bag, and don’t attach or put anything on the steering wheel hub or on or near any other air bag covering. When should an air bag inflate? An air bag is designed to inflate in a moderate to severe frontal or near - frontal crash. The air bag will inflate only if the impact speed is above the system’ s designed “threshold level.” If your vehicle goes straight into a wall that doesn’t move or deform[...]

1-26 What makes an air bag inflate? In an impact of sufficient severity , the air bag sensing system detects that the vehicle is in a crash. The sensing system triggers a release of gas from the inflator , which inflates the air bag. The inflator , air bag and related hardware are all part of the air bag modules inside the steering wheel and in the instrument panel in front of the right front passenger . How does an air bag restrain? In moderate to severe frontal or near - frontal collisions, even belted occupants can contact the steering wheel or the instrument panel. Air bags supplement the protection provided by safety belts. Air bags distribute the force of the impact more evenly over th[...]

1-27 In many crashes severe enough to inflate an air bag, windshields are broken by vehicle deformation. Additional windshield breakage may also occur from the right front passenger air bag. Air bags are designed to inflate only once. After they inflate, you’ll need some new parts for your air bag system. If you don’t get them, the air bag system won’t be there to help protect you in another crash. A new system will include air bag modules and possibly other parts. The service manual for your vehicle covers the need to replace other parts. Y our vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic module, which records information about the air bag system. The module records informa[...]

1-28 Servicing Y our Air Bag-Equipped V ehicle Air bags affect how your vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the air bag system in several places around your vehicle. Y ou don’t want the system to inflate while someone is working on your vehicle. Y our dealer and the service manual have information about servicing your vehicle and the air bag system. T o purchase a service manual, see “Service and Owner Publications” in the Index. CAUTION: For up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned off and the battery is disconnected, an air bag can still inflate during improper service. Y ou can be injured if you ar e close to an air bag when it inflates. A void yellow connectors.[...]

1-29 Lap - Shoulder Belt The positions next to the windows have lap - shoulder belts. Here’ s how to wear one properly . 1. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Don’t let it get twisted. The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt across you very quickly . If this happens, let the belt go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you more slowly . 2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. If the belt stops before it reaches the buckle, tilt the latch plate and keep pulling until you can buckle it. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If the belt is not long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section. [...]

1-30 3. T o make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle end of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder part. The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces.[...]

1-31 The safety belt locks if there’ s a sudden stop or a crash, or if you pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor . CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury . The shoulder belt should fit against your body . T o unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle.[...]

1-32 Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides for Children and Small Adults Rear shoulder belt comfort guides will provide added safety belt comfort for older children who have outgrown booster seats and for small adults. When installed on a shoulder belt, the comfort guide better positions the belt away from the neck and head. There is one guide for each outside passenger position in the rear seat. T o provide added safety belt comfort for children who have outgrown child restraints and for smaller adults, the comfort guides may be installed on the shoulder belts. Here’ s how to install a comfort guide and use the safety belt: 1. Pull the elastic cord out from between the edge of the seatback and [...]

1-33 2. Slide the guide under and past the belt. The elastic cord must be under the belt. Then, place the guide over the belt, and insert the two edges of the belt into the slots of the guide. 3. Be sure that the belt is not twisted and it lies flat. The elastic cord must be under the belt and the guide on top.[...]

1-34 4. Buckle, position and release the safety belt as described in “Rear Seat Outside Passenger Positions” earlier in this section. Make sure that the shoulder belt crosses the shoulder . T o remove and store the comfort guides, squeeze the belt edges together so that you can take them out of the guides. Pull the guide upward to expose its storage clip, and then slide the guide onto the clip. T urn the guide and clip inward and in between the seatback and the interior body , leaving only the loop of elastic cord exposed. Center Passenger Position[...]

1-35 Lap Belt When you sit in the center seating position, you have a lap safety belt, which has no retractor . T o make the belt longer , tilt the latch plate and pull it along the belt. T o make the belt shorter , pull its free end as shown until the belt is snug. Buckle, position and release it the same way as the lap part of a lap - shoulder belt. If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section. Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.[...]

1-36 Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes infants and all other children. Neither the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints. In fact, the law in every state in the United States and in every Canadian province says children up to some age must be restrained while in a vehicle. Infants and Y oung Children Every time infants and young children ride in vehicles, they should have the protection provided by the appropriate restraint. Y oung children should not use the vehicle’ s safety belts, unless there is no other choice. CAUTION: People should never hold a baby in their arms while riding in a [...]

1-37 CAUTION: (Continued) For example, in a crash at only 25 mph (40 km/h), a 12 - lb. (5.5 kg) baby will suddenly become a 240 - lb. (1 10 kg) force on a person’ s arms. A baby should be secured in an appropriate restraint. CAUTION: Children who ar e up against, or very close to, any air bag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Air bags plus lap - shoulder belts offer outstanding protection for adults and older children, but not for young childr en and infants. Neither the vehicle’ s safety belt system nor its air bag system is designed for them. Y oung children and infants need the protection that a child restraint system can pr ovide.[...]

1-38 Q: What are the differ ent types of add - on child restraints? A: Add - on child restraints, which are purchased by the vehicle’ s owner, are available in four basic types. Selection of a particular restraint should take into consideration not only the child’ s weight, height and age but also whether or not the restraint will be compatible with the motor vehicle in which it will be used. For most basic types of child restraints, there are many different models available. When purchasing a child restraint, be sure it is designed to be used in a motor vehicle. If it is, the restraint will have a label saying that it meets federal motor vehicle safety standards. The restraint manufactu[...]

1-39 CAUTION: The body structure of a young child is quite unlike that of an adult or older child, for whom the safety belts are designed. A young child’ s hip bones are still so small that the vehicle’ s regular safety belt may not remain low on the hip bones, as it should. Instead, it may settle up around the child’ s abdomen. In a crash, the belt would apply force on a body ar ea that’ s unprotected by any bony structure. This alone could cause serious or fatal injuries. Y oung children always should be secur ed in appr opriate child restraints. Restraint Systems for Children An infant car bed (A), a special bed made for use in a motor vehicle, is an infant restraint system design[...]

1-40 A rear - facing infant seat (B) provides restraint with the seating surface against the back of the infant. The harness system holds the infant in place and, in a crash, acts to keep the infant positioned in the restraint. A forward - facing child seat (C - E) provides restraint for the child’ s body with the harness and also sometimes with surfaces such as T - shaped or shelf - like shields.[...]

1-41 A booster seat (F - G) is a child restraint designed to improve the fit of the vehicle’ s safety belt system. Some booster seats have a shoulder belt positioner , and some high - back booster seats have a five - point harness. A booster seat can also help a child to see out the window . Q: How do child restraints work? A: A child restraint system is any device designed for use in a motor vehicle to restrain, seat, or position children. A built - in child restraint system is a permanent part of the motor vehicle. An add - on child restraint system is a portable one, which is purchased by the vehicle’ s owner . For many years, add - on child restraints have used the adult belt system [...]

1-42 When choosing a child restraint, be sure the child restraint is designed to be used in a vehicle. If it is, it will have a label saying that it meets federal motor vehicle safety standards. Then follow the instructions for the restraint. Y ou may find these instructions on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both. These restraints use the belt system in your vehicle, but the child also has to be secured within the restraint to help reduce the chance of personal injury . When securing an add - on child restraint, refer to the instructions that come with the restraint which may be on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both, and to this manual. The child restraint instructions a[...]

1-43 T op Strap Some child restraints have a top strap, or “top tether .” It can help restrain the child restraint during a collision. For it to work, a top strap must be properly anchored to the vehicle. Some top strap - equipped child restraints are designed for use with or without the top strap being anchored. Others require the top strap always to be anchored. Be sure to read and follow the instructions for your child restraint. If yours requires that the top strap be anchored, don’t use the restraint unless it is anchored properly . If the child restraint does not have a top strap, one can be obtained, in kit form, for many child restraints. Ask the child restraint manufacturer wh[...]

1-44 Once you have the top strap anchored, you’ll be ready to secure the child restraint itself. T ighten the top strap when and as the child restraint manufacturer ’ s instructions say . T op strap anchors are already installed in your vehicle for the rear seating positions. Y ou’ll find them behind the rear seat on the filler panel. Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Outside Seat Position Y ou’ll be using the lap - shoulder belt. See the earlier part about the top strap if the child restraint has one. Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and as the instructions say . 1. Put the restraint on the seat. 2[...]

1-45 T ilt the latch plate to adjust the belt if needed. If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child’ s face or neck, put it behind the child restraint. 3. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.[...]

1-46 4. T o tighten the belt, pull up on the shoulder belt while you push down on the child restraint. If you’re using a forward - facing child restraint, you may find it helpful to use your knee to push down on the child restraint as you tighten the belt. 5. Push and pull the child restraint in dif ferent directions to be sure it is secure. T o remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’ s safety belt and let it go back all the way . The safety belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult or larger child passenger .[...]

1-47 Securing a Child Restraint in the Center Rear Seat Position Y ou’ll be using the lap belt. Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and as the instructions say . See the earlier part about the top strap if the child restraint has one. 1. Make the belt as long as possible by tilting the latch plate and pulling it along the belt. 2. Put the restraint on the seat. 3. Run the vehicle’ s safety belt through or around the restraint. The child restraint instructions will show you how .[...]

1-48 4. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to. 5. T o tighten the belt, pull its free end while you push down on the child restraint. If you’re using a forward - facing child restraint, you may find it helpful to use your knee to push down on the child restraint as you tighten the belt. 6. Push and pull the child restraint in dif ferent directions to be sure it is secure. T o remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’ s safety belt. It will be ready to work for an adult or larger child passenger .[...]

1-49 Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position Y our vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never put a rear - facing child restraint in this seat. Here’ s why: CAUTION: A child in a rear - facing child restraint can be seriously injur ed or killed if the right front passenger’ s air bag inflates. This is because the back of the rear - facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating air bag. Always secure a rear - facing child restraint in the rear seat. Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a forward - facing child restraint in the right front seat. Y ou’ll be using the lap - shoulder belt. See the earlier part about the top strap if[...]

1-50 4. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to. 5. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock.[...]

1-51 6. T o tighten the belt, feed the shoulder belt back into the retractor while you push down on the child restraint. Y ou may find it helpful to use your knee to push down on the child restraint as you tighten the belt. 7. Push and pull the child restraint in dif ferent directions to be sure it is secure. T o remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’ s safety belt and let it go back all the way . The safety belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult or larger child passenger .[...]

1-52 Older Children Older children who have outgrown booster seats should wear the vehicle’ s safety belts. If you have the choice, a child should sit next to a window so the child can wear a lap - shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide. Q: What is the proper way to wear safety belts? A: If possible, an older child should wear a lap - shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide. The shoulder belt should not cross the face or neck. The lap belt should fit snugly below the hips, just touching the top of the thighs. It should never be worn over the abdomen, which could cause severe or even fatal internal injuries in a crash. A[...]

1-53 CAUTION: Never do this. Here two childr en are wearing the same belt. The belt can’t properly spr ead the impact forces. In a crash, the two children can be crushed together and seriously injured. A belt must be used by only one person at a time. Q: What if a child is wearing a lap - shoulder belt, but the child is so small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’ s face or neck? A: Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be sure that the shoulder belt still is on the child’ s shoulder , so that in a crash the child’ s upper body would have the restraint that belts provide. If the child is sitting in a rear seat outside position, see “Rear Safety Belt Co[...]

1-54 CAUTION: Never do this. Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a lap - shoulder belt, but the shoulder part is behind the child. If the child wears the belt in this way , in a crash the child might slide under the belt. The belt’ s force would then be applied right on the child’ s abdomen. That could cause serious or fatal injuries. Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the child’ s thighs. This applies belt force to the child’ s pelvic bones in a crash.[...]

4-2 Defensive Driving The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively . Please start with a very important safety device in your vehicle: Buckle up. See “Safety Belts” in the Index. Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.” On city streets, rural roads or freeways, it means “always expect the unexpected.” Assume that pedestrians or other drivers are going to be careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do. Be ready for their mistakes. Rear - end collisions are about the most preventable of accidents. Y et they are common. Allow enough following distance. It’ s the best defensive driving maneuver , in both city and rural driving. Y [...]

4-3 Drunken Driving Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is a national tragedy . It’ s the number one contributor to the highway death toll, claiming thousands of victims every year . Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to drive a vehicle: Judgment Muscular Coordination V ision Attentiveness. Police records show that almost half of all motor vehicle - related deaths involve alcohol. In most cases, these deaths are the result of someone who was drinking and driving. In recent years, about 16,000 annual motor vehicle - related deaths have been associated with the use of alcohol, with more than 300,000 people injured. Many adults -- by some estimates, nearly half th[...]

4-4 According to the American Medical Association, a 180 - lb. (82 kg) person who drinks three 12 - ounce (355 ml) bottles of beer in an hour will end up with a BAC of about 0.06 percent. The person would reach the same BAC by drinking three 4 - ounce (120 ml) glasses of wine or three mixed drinks if each had 1 - 1/2 ounces (45 ml) of a liquor like whiskey , gin or vodka. It’ s the amount of alcohol that counts. For example, if the same person drank three double martinis (3 ounces or 90 ml of liquor each) within an hour , the person’ s BAC would be close to 0.12 percent. A person who consumes food just before or during drinking will have a somewhat lower BAC level. There is a gender diff[...]

4-5 But the ability to drive is affected well below a BAC of 0.10 percent. Research shows that the driving skills of many people are impaired at a BAC approaching 0.05 percent, and that the effects are worse at night. All drivers are impaired at BAC levels above 0.05 percent. Statistics show that the chance of being in a collision increases sharply for drivers who have a BAC of 0.05 percent or above. A driver with a BAC level of 0.06 percent has doubled his or her chance of having a collision. At a BAC level of 0.10 percent, the chance of this driver having a collision is 12 times greater; at a level of 0.15 percent, the chance is 25 times greater! The body takes about an hour to rid itself [...]

4-6 Control of a V ehicle Y ou have three systems that make your vehicle go where you want it to go. They are the brakes, the steering and the accelerator . All three systems have to do their work at the places where the tires meet the road. Sometimes, as when you’re driving on snow or ice, it’ s easy to ask more of those control systems than the tires and road can provide. That means you can lose control of your vehicle. Also see “Enhanced T raction System” in the Index. Braking Braking action involves per ception time and r eaction time. First, you have to decide to push on the brake pedal. That’ s per ception time. Then you have to bring up your foot and do it. That’ s reactio[...]

4-7 A void needless heavy braking. Some people drive in spurts -- heavy acceleration followed by heavy braking -- rather than keeping pace with traffic. This is a mistake. Y our brakes may not have time to cool between hard stops. Y our brakes will wear out much faster if you do a lot of heavy braking. If you keep pace with the traffic and allow realistic following distances, you will eliminate a lot of unnecessary braking. That means better braking and longer brake life. If your engine ever stops while you’re driving, brake normally but don’t pump your brakes. If you do, the pedal may get harder to push down. If your engine stops, you will still have some power brake assist. But you wil[...]

4-8 Let’ s say the road is wet and you’re driving safely . Suddenly , an animal jumps out in front of you. Y ou slam on the brakes and continue braking. Here’ s what happens with ABS: A computer senses that wheels are slowing down. If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will separately work the brakes at each wheel. The anti - lock system can change the brake pressure faster than any driver could. The computer is programmed to make the most of available tire and road conditions. This can help you steer around the obstacle while braking hard. As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly .[...]

4-9 Remember: Anti - lock doesn’t change the time you need to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have anti - lock brakes. Using Anti - Lock Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down firmly and let anti - lock work for you. Y ou may feel a slight brake pedal pulsation or notice some noise, but this is normal. Braking in Emergencies W ith anti - lock, you can steer and brake at the same time. In many emergencies, steering can help you more than ev[...]

4-10 United States Canada When the transaxle shift lever is in any position other than FIRST (1) or SECOND (2) and the parking brake is fully released, this warning light will come on to let you know if there’ s a problem with the system. See “Enhanced T raction System W arning Light” in the Index. When this warning light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly . The Enhanced T raction System can operate when the transaxle shift lever is in any position other than FIRST (1) or SECOND (2). T o limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road conditions, you should use REVERSE (R), THIRD (3) or OVERDRIVE ( ). See “Automatic T ransaxle” in the Index. [...]

4-1 1 Steering Power Steering If you lose power steering assist because the engine stops or the system is not functioning, you can steer but it will take much more effort. Steering Tips Driving on Curves It’ s important to take curves at a reasonable speed. A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned on the news happen on curves. Here’ s why: Experienced driver or beginner , each of us is subject to the same laws of physics when driving on curves. The traction of the tires against the road surface makes it possible for the vehicle to change its path when you turn the front wheels. If there’ s no traction, inertia will keep the vehicle going in the same direction. If you?[...]

4-12 Steering in Emergencies There are times when steering can be more effective than braking. For example, you come over a hill and find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between parked cars and stops right in front of you. Y ou can avoid these problems by braking -- if you can stop in time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’ t room. That’ s the time for evasive action -- steering around the problem. Y our vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like these. First apply your brakes. See “Braking in Emergencies” earlier in this section. It is better to remove as much speed as you can from a possible collision. The[...]

4-13 Off - Road Recovery Y ou may find that your right wheels have dropped off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy . Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way , steer so that your vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement. Y ou can turn the steering wheel up to one - quarter turn until the right front tire contacts the pavement edge. Then turn your steering wheel to go straight down the roadway . Passing The driver of a vehicle about to pass another on a two - lane highway waits for just the right moment, accelerates, moves around the vehicle ahea[...]

4-14 Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to pass while you’re awaiting an opportunity . For one thing, following too closely reduces your area of vision, especially if you’re following a larger vehicle. Also, you won’t have adequate space if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or stops. Keep back a reasonable distance. When it looks like a chance to pass is coming up, start to accelerate but stay in the right lane and don’t get too close. T ime your move so you will be increasing speed as the time comes to move into the other lane. If the way is clear to pass, you will have a “running start” that more than makes up for the distance you would lose by dropping back. And if so[...]

4-15 Loss of Control Let’ s review what driving experts say about what happens when the three control systems (brakes, steering and acceleration) don’t have enough friction where the tires meet the road to do what the driver has asked. In any emergency , don’t give up. Keep trying to steer and constantly seek an escape route or area of less danger . Skidding In a skid, a driver can lose control of the vehicle. Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking reasonable care suited to existing conditions, and by not “overdriving” those conditions. But skids are always possible. The three types of skids correspond to your vehicle’ s three control systems. In the braking skid, your whee[...]

4-16 Driving at Night Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One reason is that some drivers are likely to be impaired -- by alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue. Here are some tips on night driving. Drive defensively . Don’t drink and drive. Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare from headlamps behind you. Since you can’t see as well, you may need to slow down and keep more space between you and other vehicles. Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Y our headlamps can light up only so much road ahead. In remote areas, watch for animals. If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe place and rest. No one can see as well at night [...]

4-17 What you do in the daytime can also affect your night vision. For example, if you spend the day in bright sunshine you are wise to wear sunglasses. Y our eyes will have less trouble adjusting to night. But if you’re driving, don’t wear sunglasses at night. They may cut down on glare from headlamps, but they also make a lot of things invisible. Y ou can be temporarily blinded by approaching headlamps. It can take a second or two, or even several seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who doesn’t lower the high beams, or a vehicle with misaimed headlamps), slow down a little. A void staring directly into the approaching[...]

4-18 Driving in Rain and on W et Roads Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road, you can’t stop, accelerate or turn as well because your tire - to - road traction isn’t as good as on dry roads. And, if your tires don’t have much tread left, you’ll get even less traction. It’ s always wise to go slower and be cautious if rain starts to fall while you are driving. The surface may get wet suddenly when your reflexes are tuned for driving on dry pavement. The heavier the rain, the harder it is to see. Even if your windshield wiper blades are in good shape, a heavy rain can make it harder to see road signs and traffic signals, pavement markings, the edge of the road an[...]

4-19 Driving too fast through large water puddles or even going through some car washes can cause problems, too. The water may affect your brakes. T ry to avoid puddles. But if you can’t, try to slow down before you hit them. CAUTION: W et brakes can cause accidents. They won’t work as well in a quick stop and may cause pulling to one side. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle. After driving through a large puddle of water or a car wash, apply your brake pedal lightly until your brakes work normally . Hydroplaning Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can build up under your tires that they can actually ride on the water . This can happen if the road is wet enough and you’re going[...]

4-20 Driving Thr ough Deep Standing W ater NOTICE: If you drive too quickly through deep puddles or standing water , water can come in through your engine’ s air intake and badly damage your engine. Never drive through water that is slightly lower than the underbody of your vehicle. If you can’t avoid deep puddles or standing water , drive through them very slowly . Driving Thr ough Flowing W ater CAUTION: Flowing or rushing water creates str ong forces. If you try to drive through flowing water , as you might at a low water crossing, your vehicle can be carried away . As little as six inches of flowing water can carry away a smaller vehicle. If this happens, you and other vehicle occupa[...]

4-21 City Driving One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on them. Y ou’ll want to watch out for what the other drivers are doing and pay attention to traffic signals. Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: Know the best way to get to where you are going. Get a city map and plan your trip into an unknown part of the city just as you would for a cross - country trip. T ry to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. Y ou’ll save time and energy . See the next part, “Freeway Driving.” T reat a green light as a warning signal. A traffic light is there because the corner is busy enough to need it. When a light turns green, [...]

4-22 Freeway Driving Mile for mile, freeways (also called thruways, parkways, expressways, turnpikes or superhighways) are the safest of all roads. But they have their own special rules. The most important advice on freeway driving is: Keep up with traffic and keep to the right. Drive at the same speed most of the other drivers are driving. T oo - fast or too - slow driving breaks a smooth traffic flow . T reat the left lane on a freeway as a passing lane. At the entrance, there is usually a ramp that leads to the freeway . If you have a clear view of the freeway as you drive along the entrance ramp, you should begin to check traffic. T ry to determine where you expect to blend with the flow[...]

4-23 Once you are moving on the freeway , make certain you allow a reasonable following distance. Expect to move slightly slower at night. When you want to leave the freeway , move to the proper lane well in advance. If you miss your exit, do not, under any circumstances, stop and back up. Drive on to the next exit. The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply . The exit speed is usually posted. Reduce your speed according to your speedometer , not to your sense of motion. After driving for any distance at higher speeds, you may tend to think you are going slower than you actually are. Before Leaving on a Long T rip Make sure you’re ready . T ry to be well rested. If you must start[...]

4-24 Highway Hypnosis Is there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”? Or is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel? Call it highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or whatever . There is something about an easy stretch of road with the same scenery , along with the hum of the tires on the road, the drone of the engine, and the rush of the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy . Don’t let it happen to you! If it does, your vehicle can leave the road in less than a second , and you could crash and be injured. What can you do about highway hypnosis? First, be aware that it can happen. Then here are some tips: Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a comforta[...]

4-25 If you drive regularly in steep country , or if you’re planning to visit there, here are some tips that can make your trips safer and more enjoyable. Keep your vehicle in good shape. Check all fluid levels and also the brakes, tires, cooling system and transaxle. These parts can work hard on mountain roads. Know how to go down hills. The most important thing to know is this: let your engine do some of the slowing down. Shift to a lower gear when you go down a steep or long hill. CAUTION: If you don’t shift down, your brakes could get so hot that they wouldn’t work well. Y ou would then have poor braking or even none going down a hill. Y ou could crash. Shift down to let your engin[...]

4-26 Winter Driving Here are some tips for winter driving: Have your vehicle in good shape for winter . Y ou may want to put winter emergency supplies in your trunk. Include an ice scraper , a small brush or broom, a supply of windshield washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing, a small shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth and a couple of reflective warning triangles. And, if you will be driving under severe conditions, include a small bag of sand, a piece of old carpet or a couple of burlap bags to help provide traction. Be sure you properly secure these items in your vehicle.[...]

4-27 Driving on Snow or Ice Most of the time, those places where your tires meet the road probably have good traction. However , if there is snow or ice between your tires and the road, you can have a very slippery situation. Y ou’ll have a lot less traction or “grip” and will need to be very careful. What’ s the worst time for this? “W et ice.” V ery cold snow or ice can be slick and hard to drive on. But wet ice can be even more trouble because it may offer the least traction of all. Y ou can get wet ice when it’ s about freezing (32 F; 0 C) and freezing rain begins to fall. T ry to avoid driving on wet ice until salt and sand crews can get there. Whatever the condition -- sm[...]

4-28 If you don’t have the Enhanced T raction System, accelerate gently . T ry not to break the fragile traction. If you accelerate too fast, the drive wheels will spin and polish the surface under the tires even more. Y our anti - lock brakes improve your vehicle’ s stability when you make a hard stop on a slippery road. Even though you have the anti - lock braking system, you’ll want to begin stopping sooner than you would on dry pavement. See “Anti - Lock” in the Index. Allow greater following distance on any slippery road. W atch for slippery spots. The road might be fine until you hit a spot that’ s covered with ice. On an otherwise clear road, ice patches may appear in shad[...]

4-29 T ie a red cloth to your vehicle to alert police that you’ve been stopped by the snow . Put on extra clothing or wrap a blanket around you. If you have no blankets or extra clothing, make body insulators from newspapers, burlap bags, rags, floor mats -- anything you can wrap around yourself or tuck under your clothing to keep warm. Y ou can run the engine to keep warm, but be careful. CAUTION: Snow can trap exhaust gases under your vehicle. This can cause deadly CO (carbon monoxide) gas to get inside. CO could overcome you and kill you. Y ou can’t see it or smell it, so you might not know it is in your vehicle. Clear away snow from around the base of your vehicle, especially any tha[...]

4-30 Then, shut the engine off and close the window almost all the way to preserve the heat. Start the engine again and repeat this only when you feel really uncomfortable from the cold. But do it as little as possible. Preserve the fuel as long as you can. T o help keep warm, you can get out of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises every half hour or so until help comes. Recreational V ehicle T owing Recreational vehicle towing means towing your vehicle behind another vehicle -- such as behind a motorhome. The two most common types of recreational vehicle towing are known as “dinghy towing” (towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground) and “dolly towing” (towi[...]

4-31 Dinghy T owing Y our V ehicle From the Front Y ou may dinghy tow your vehicle from the front following these steps: 1. Set the parking brake. 2. T urn the ignition key to OFF to unlock the steering wheel. 3. Shift your transaxle to NEUTRAL (N). 4. Release the parking brake. NOTICE: Make sur e that the towing speed does not exceed 65 mph (1 10 km/h), or your vehicle could be badly damaged.[...]

4-32 NOTICE: Do not tow your vehicle from the r ear . Y our vehicle could be badly damaged and the repairs would not be cover ed by your warranty . Dolly T owing Y our vehicle cannot be dolly towed, but can be dinghy towed. See “Dinghy T owing” in the Index.[...]

4-33 Loading Y our V ehicle T wo labels on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry . The Tire - Loading Information label found on the rear edge of the driver ’ s door tells you the proper size, speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for the tires on your vehicle. It also gives you important information about the number of people that can be in your vehicle and the total weight that you can carry . This weight is called the V ehicle Capacity W eight, and includes the weight of all occupants, cargo and all nonfactory - installed options. The other label is the Certification label, found on the rear edge of the driver ’ s door . It tells you the gross weight capac[...]

4-34 And, if you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out. Don’t carry more than 132 lbs. (60 kg) in your trunk. CAUTION: Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR, or either the maximum front or r ear GA WR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can break, and it can change the way your vehicle handles. These could cause you to lose control and crash. Also, overloading can shorten the life of your vehicle. If you put things inside your vehicle -- like suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else -- they will go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly , or if there is a crash, they’ll keep going. CAUTION: Things you put inside your vehicle can strike an[...]

4-35 T owing a T railer (Models with 2.4L L4 (LD9) or 2.2L L4 ECOTEC (L61) Engine and Automatic T ransaxle) CAUTION: If you don’t use the correct equipment and drive properly , you can lose control when you pull a trailer . For example, if the trailer is too heavy , the brakes may not work well -- or even at all. Y ou and your passengers could be seriously injured. Y ou may also damage your vehicle; the resulting r epairs would not be covered by your warranty . Pull a trailer only if you have followed all the steps in this section. Ask your dealer for advice and information about towing a trailer with your vehicle. Y our vehicle can tow a trailer if it is equipped with a 2.4L L4 (LD9) or a[...]

4-36 If Y ou Do Decide T o Pull A T railer If you do, here are some important points: There are many different laws, including speed limit restrictions, having to do with trailering. Make sure your rig will be legal, not only where you live but also where you’ll be driving. A good source for this information can be state or provincial police. Consider using a sway control. Y ou can ask a hitch dealer about sway controls. Don’t tow a trailer at all during the first 1,000 miles (1 600 km) your new vehicle is driven. Y our engine, axle or other parts could be damaged. Then, during the first 500 miles (800 km) that you tow a trailer , don’t drive over 50 mph (80 km/h) and don’t make star[...]

And if you tow a trailer , you must add the tongue [...]

4-38 T otal W eight on Y our V ehicle’ s Tir es Be sure your vehicle’ s tires are inflated to the upper limit for cold tires. Y ou’ll find these numbers on the Ti r e - Loading Information Label at the rear edge of the driver ’ s door , or see “Loading Y our V ehicle” in the Index. Then be sure you don’t go over the GVW limit for your vehicle, including the weight of the trailer tongue. Hitches It’ s important to have the correct hitch equipment. Crosswinds, lar ge trucks going by and rough roads are a few reasons why you’ll need the right hitch. Here are some rules to follow: The rear bumper on your vehicle is not intended for hitches. Do not attach rental hitches or other[...]

4-39 Driving with a T railer T owing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting out for the open road, you’ll want to get to know your rig. Acquaint yourself with the feel of handling and braking with the added weight of the trailer . And always keep in mind that the vehicle you are driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly as responsive as your vehicle is by itself. Before you start, check the trailer hitch and platform (and attachments), safety chains, electrical connector , lamps, tires and mirror adjustment. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes ar[...]

4-40 Making T urns NOTICE: Making very sharp turns while trailering could cause the trailer to come in contact with the vehicle. Y our vehicle could be damaged. A void making very sharp turns while trailering. When you’re turning with a trailer , make wider turns than normal. Do this so your trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees or other objects. A void jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in advance. T urn Signals When T owing a T railer When you tow a trailer , your vehicle may need a different turn signal flasher and/or extra wiring. Check with your dealer . The arrows on your instrument panel will flash whenever you signal a turn or lane change. Properly hoo[...]

4-41 Driving On Grades NOTICE: Do not tow on steep continuous grades exceeding 6 miles (9.6 km). Extended, higher than normal engine and transaxle temperatures may r esult and damage your vehicle. Frequent stops ar e very important to allow the engine and transaxle to cool. Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear befor e you start down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t shift down, you might have to use your brakes so much that they would get hot and no longer work well. On a long uphill grade, shift down and reduce your speed to around 45 mph (70 km/h) to reduce the possibility of engine and transaxle overheating. Pay attention to the engine coolant gage. If the indicator is in the re[...]

4-42 When Y ou Ar e Ready to Leave After Parking on a Hill 1. Apply your regular brakes and hold the pedal down while you: start your engine, shift into a gear , and release the parking brake. 2.

6-25 Engine Coolant The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with DEX - COOL engine coolant. This coolant is designed to remain in your vehicle for 5 years or 150,000 miles (240 000 km), whichever occurs first, if you add only DEX - COOL extended life coolant. The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when it is low . If you have a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine Overheating” in the Index. A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX - COOL coolant will: Give freezing protection down to - 34 F ( - 37 C). Give boiling protection up to 265 F (129 C). Protect against rust and corrosion. Help keep the proper engine temperature. Let the warning li[...]

6-26 What to Use Use a mixture of one - half clean, drinkable water and one - half DEX - COOL coolant which won’t damage aluminum parts. If you use this coolant mixture, you don’t need to add anything else. CAUTION: Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water , or some other liquid such as alcohol, can boil before the pr oper coolant mixture will. Y our vehicle’ s coolant warning system is set for the proper coolant mixture. W ith plain water or the wrong mixtur e, your engine could get too hot but you wouldn’t get the overheat warning. Y our engine could catch fire and you or others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and D[...]

6-27 Checking Coolant The surge tank is located on the passenger ’ s side of the engine compartment. See “Engine Compartment Overview” in the Index for more information on location. CAUTION: T urning the surge tank pressur e cap when the engine and radiator are hot can allow steam and scalding liquids to blow out and burn you badly . Never turn the surge tank pressur e cap -- even a little -- when the engine and radiator are hot. The vehicle must be on a level surface. When your engine is cold, the coolant level should be at the FULL COLD mark. If the low coolant light comes on and stays on, it means you’re low on engine coolant. See “Low Coolant Light” in the Index.[...]

6-28 Adding Coolant If you need more coolant, add the proper DEX - COOL coolant mixture at the sur ge tank , but only when the engine is cool. If the surge tank is empty , a special fill procedure is necessary . See “Engine Overheating” in the Index for instructions on “How to Add Coolant to the Coolant Surge T ank.” CAUTION: Y ou can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol, and it will burn if the engine parts are hot enough. Don’t spill coolant on a hot engine. When replacing the pressure cap, make sure it is hand - tight. Surge T ank Pressur e Cap NOTICE: Y our surge tank cap is a 15 psi (105 kPa) pressur e - type cap and must be tigh[...]

6-29 Power Steering Fluid For the 2.2L L4 (LN2) engine, the power steering fluid reservoir is located toward the rear of the engine compartment on the passenger ’ s side of the vehicle.

6-30 Adding W asher Fluid Open the cap with the washer symbol on it. Add washer fluid until the tank is full. NOTICE: When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the manufacturer’ s instructions for adding water . Don’t mix water with ready - to - use washer fluid. W ater can cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid tank and other parts of the washer system. Also, water doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid. Fill your washer fluid tank only three - quarters full when it’ s very cold. This allows for expansion if freezing occurs, which could damage the tank if it is completely full. Don’t use engine coolant (antifreeze) in your windshield washer . It can damage you[...]

6-31 Brakes Brake Fluid Y our brake master cylinder reservoir is on the driver ’ s side of the engine compartment. It is filled with DOT - 3 brake fluid. See “Engine Compartment Overview” in the Index. There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in the reservoir might go down. The first is that the brake fluid goes down to an acceptable level during normal brake lining wear . When new linings are put in, the fluid level goes back up. The other reason is that fluid is leaking out of the brake system. If it is, you should have your brake system fixed, since a leak means that sooner or later your brakes won’t work well, or won’ t work at all. So, it isn’t a good idea to “[...]

6-32 What to Add When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT - 3 brake fluid. Use new brake fluid from a sealed container only . See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index. Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap and the area around the cap before removing it. This will help keep dirt from entering the reservoir . CAUTION: With the wr ong kind of fluid in your brake system, your brakes may not work well, or they may not even work at all. This could cause a crash. Always use the proper brake fluid. NOTICE: Using the wrong fluid can badly damage brake system parts. For example, just a few drops of mineral - based oil, such as engine oil, in your brake system can damage brake sy[...]

6-33 Brake W ear Y our vehicle has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.

The sound may come and go or be heard all the time your vehicle is moving (except when you are pushing on the brake pedal firmly). CAUTION: The brake wear warning sound means that soon your brakes won’t work well. That could lead to an accident. When you hear the brake wear warning sound, have your vehicle serviced. NOTICE: Continuing to drive with worn - out brake pads could result in costly brake r epair . Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake squeal when th[...]

6-34 Brake Pedal T ravel See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to normal height, or if there is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be a sign of brake trouble. Brake Adjustment Every time you make a moderate brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for wear . If you rarely make a moderate or heavier stop, then your brakes might not adjust correctly . If you drive in that way , then -- very carefully -- make a few moderate brake stops about every 1,000 miles (1 600 km), so your brakes will adjust properly . If your brake pedal goes down farther than normal, your rear drum brakes may need adjustment. Adjust them by backing up and firmly applying the brakes a few times. Replaci[...]

If your tires don’t have enough air (underinflation), you can get the following: T oo much flexing T oo much heat Tir e overloading Bad wear Bad handling Bad fuel economy NOTICE: (Continued) NOTICE: (Continued) If your tires have too much air (overinflation), you can get the following:[...]

6-45 Tir e Inspection and Rotation T ires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10 000 to 13 000 km). Any time you notice unusual wear , rotate your tires as soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels. See “When It’ s Time for New T ires” and “Wheel Replacement” later in this section for more information. The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first rotation is the most important. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index for scheduled rotation intervals. When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation pattern shown here. Don’t include the compact spare[...]

6-46 When It’ s Time for New T ires One way to tell when it’ s time for new tires is to check the treadwear indicators, which will appear when your tires have only 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or less of tread remaining. Y ou need a new tire if any of the following statements are true: Y ou can see the indicators at three or more places around the tire. Y ou can see cord or fabric showing through the tire’ s rubber . The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to show cord or fabric. The tire has a bump, bulge or split. The tire has a puncture, cut or other damage that can’t be repaired well because of the size or location of the damage. Buying New Tir es T o find out what kin[...]

A tire and/or wheel could fail suddenly , causing a crash. Use only radial - ply tires with the wheels on your vehicle. U[...]

6-48 T readwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however , and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate. T raction -- AA, A, B, C The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire’ s ability to stop on wet pavem[...]

6-49 Wheel Alignment and Tir e Balance The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the factory to give you the longest tire life and best overall performance. Scheduled wheel alignment and wheel balancing are not needed. However , if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way or the other , the alignment may need to be reset. If you notice your vehicle vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need to be rebalanced. Wheel Replacement Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, or badly rusted or corroded.
