W ARNING! • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse. Y ou might suffer internal injuries, or[...]

3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal inju- ries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. A belt that [...]

W ARNING! (Continued) A shoulder belt placed behind will not protect you from injury during a collision. Y ou are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt.

Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e recommend that pr egnant women use the seat belts throughout their pr egnancy . Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug acr oss the hips as possible. Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen[...]

Driver And Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and right front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt r estraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the steering wheel. The passenger side airbag is mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove compartment. The words[...]

This vehicle is equipped with window bags to protect the driver , front, and rear passengers sitting next to a win- dow . They are located above the side windows.

Here ar e some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag. 1. Children 12 years and younger should always ride buckled up in a rear seat. Infants in rear facing child r estraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to in[...]

W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags. • Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag depl[...]

W ARNING! Ignoring the “Airbag W arning Light” in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have the airbag system checked right away . • The Occupant Classification System (OCS) is part of [...]

The “P AD Indicator Light” should not be illuminated when an adult passenger is properly seated in the fr ont passenger seat.

improperly classified. Ensur e that the front passenger seatback does not touch anything placed on the back seat because this can also affect occupant classification. Also, if you fold down the rear seat, check to be sur e it doesn’t touch the front passenger seat. If the front passenger seat is damaged in any way , it should only be serviced by [...]

The driver front airbag gas is vented thr ough the vent holes in the sides of the airbag. The passenger front airbag gas is vented through the vent holes in the sides of the airbag. In this way , the airbags do not interfere with your control of the vehicle. • The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) is lo- cated beneath the front passenger seat.[...]

The front passenger seat assembly contains critical com- ponents that affect the fr ont passenger airbag deploy- ment. Correctly functioning fr ont passenger seat compo- nents are critical for the Occupant Classification System (OCS) to properly classify the fr ont passenger and calcu- late the proper airbag deployment. Do not make any modification[...]

If A Deployment Occurs The airbag system is designed to deploy when the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module detects a moderate-to-severe fr ontal collision to help restrain the driver and front passenger , and then to immediately deflate. NOTE: A frontal collision that is not severe enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system.[...]

W ARNING! Deployed airbags cannot protect you in another col- lision. Have the airbags, and seat belt retractor as- sembly replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Also, have the Occupant Classification Sys- tem serviced as well. Enhanced Accident Response System In the event of an impact that causes airbag deployment with the vehicle [...]

W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to modify any part of your ad- vanced airbag system. The airbag may inflate accidentally or may not function properly if modi- fications are made. T ake your vehicle to an autho- rized dealer for any advanced airbag system ser- vice. If your seat including your trim cover and cushion needs to be serviced in [...]

Here ar e some tips for getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any r estraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable safety standards. The manufactur er also recommends that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats wher e you will use it before you buy it. • The restraint must [...]

• In the rear seat, you may have tr ouble tightening the lap/shoulder belt on the child restraint because the buckle or latch plate is too close to the belt path opening on the restraint.

LA TCH-compatible child restraint systems are now avail- able. However , because the lower anchorages are to be introduced over a period of years, child r estraint systems having attachments for those anchorages will continue to also have features for installation using the vehicle’s seat belts.

If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if by pulling and pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, you may need to do something more. Disconnect the latch plate fr om the buckle, turn the buckle around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again. If you still can’t make the child restraint secur e, try a different seating position. T o[...]

T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet.

W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them. TIRES — GENERAL INFORMA TION Tire Pressure Proper tir e inflation pressure is essential to the safe and satisfactory o[...]

W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abno[...]

CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped). This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage it. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard are always cold tire inflation pr essure. Cold tire inflation pr essure is defined as the tire pr essure[...]

Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits.
