Driver And Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) — Airbag This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel. The passenger’s front airbag is mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove [...]

The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity . This vehicle may also be equipped with side curtain airbags to protect the driver and passengers sitting next to a window . If the vehicle is equipped with side curtain airbags, they are located[...]

W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflat- ing. • If your vehicle is equipped with sid[...]

moderate to severe side collisions. In certain types of collisions, both the front and side airbags may be trig- gered. But even in collisions wher e the airbags work, you need the seat belts to keep you in the right position for the airbags to protect you pr operly .

The ORC module determines if a side collision is severe enough to r equire the side airbags to inflate. The side airbag control module will not detect r oll over , front or rear collisions. The ORC module monitors the readiness of the electr onic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST ART or ON position. These include all of [...]

W ARNING! Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front passenger seat assembly , its related compo- nents, or seat cover may inadvertently change the airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash. This could result in death or serious injury to the front seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in an acci- dent. A modified vehicle ma[...]

• As the airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-pr oduct of the process that generates the nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation. These airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye irritation, rinse the area with cool water . For nose or throat irritation, [...]

Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it.

Y our vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchor - age system called LA TCH. The LA TCH system provides for the installation of the child restraint without using the vehicle seat belt.

In general, you will first loosen the adjusters on the lower and tether straps so that you can more easily attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages. The tether strap should be routed under the center of the head restraint and attached to the tether anchor on the rear of the seat back. Then tighten all thr ee straps as you pus[...]

W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor position directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.

W ARNING! Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in flash fire causing serious personal injury . CAUTION! T o prevent damage to the starter , do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. W ait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again. After [...]

Fully depress the clutch pedal befor e you shift gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly depr ess the accelera- tor pedal. Use each gear in numerical order , do not skip a gear . Be sure the transaxle is in 1st gear , (not 3rd), when starting from a standing position. Damage to the clutch can r esult from starting in 3r d gear . For most ci[...]

CAUTION! Damage to the transaxle may occur if the following precautions are not observed: • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed. • Do not shift from REVERSE, P ARK, or NEUTRAL into any forward gear[...]

NOTE: If a malfunction occurs, the transaxle will not shift out of P ARK. Battery power is requir ed to release the brake/transmission interlock system. There is a r emov- able plug in the right side of the shifter housing that allows you to insert your finger to override the system. If this occurs, obtain service as soon as possible. Automatic T r[...]

Never use P ARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. Always apply the parking brake first, and then place the shift lever into the P ARK position. W ARNING! Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle whi[...]

CAUTION! • Always check the depth of the standing water before driving through it. Never drive through standing water that is deeper than the bottom of the tire rims mounted on the vehicle. • Determine the condition of the road or the path that is under water and if there are any obstacles in the way before driving through the standing wa- ter [...]

W ARNING! • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s traction capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through standing water . • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s braking capabilities, which increases stop- ping distances. Therefore, after driving through standing water , drive slowly and[...]

W ARNING! Continued operation with reduced power steering assist could pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be obtained as soon as possible. CAUTION! Prolonged operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and it should be avoided when possible. Damage to t[...]

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.

W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the ve- hicle 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.

TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the fr ont and rear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates and tend to develop irregular wear pat- terns. These effects can be r educed by timely rotation of tires. The benefits of rotation [...]

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) The T ire Pr essure Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pr essure based on the vehicle recom- mended cold placard pr essure. The tire pr essure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that when the outside temperature decr eases, the tire pr[...]

For example, your vehicle may have a recommended cold (parked for more than thr ee hours) placard pressur e of 30 psi (207 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the measured tir e pressure is 27 psi (186 kPa), a temperature dr op to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tire pressur e to approximately 26 psi (179 kPa). This tire pressur e[...]

NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tir e care and maintenance or to provide warning of a tir e failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pr essure gauge while adjusting your tire pr essure. • Driving on a significantly under-inflated tir e causes the tire to over heat and can lead to tire failure.

Carbon Monoxide W arnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill. Never run the engine in a closed ar ea, such as a garage, and never sit in a parked vehic[...]

After removing the gas cap, place the gas cap tether cable over a hook on the inside of the fuel door . This keeps the gas cap suspended away from and pr otects the vehicle’s surface. CAUTION! • A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the Malfunc- tion Indicator Light (MIL) to turn on. • T o avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off?[...]

NOTE: T ighten the gas cap about 1/4 turn until you hear one click. This is an indication that cap is properly tightened. If the gas cap is not tighten properly , the MIL will come on.
