Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver , even on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver and cause a collision which includes you. This can happen far away from home or on your own street. Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some of the worst injurie[...]

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.” THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE 37 2 I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :[...]

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 injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well. In a sudden stop you could move too far forward, increasing the poss[...]

W ARNING! A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdo- men. Always wear the lap part of your seat belt as low as possible and keep it snug. A twisted belt cannot do its job as well. In a collision it could even cut into you. Be sure the [...]

6. T o release the belt, push the red button marked PRESS on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow it to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodicall[...]

W ARNING! Position the shoulder belt height adjusters so that the belt rests across the middle of your shoulder . Failure to adjust the safety belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and increase the risk of injury in a collision. As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e ta[...]

When T o Use The Automatic Locking Mode Anytime a child safety seat is installed in a passenger front or outboard rear seating position (if equipped). Children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in the rear seat whenever possible. How T o Use The Automatic Locking Mode 1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt. 2. Grasp the [...]

W ARNING! • After a vehicle collision, the driver and front passenger outboard seat belt system must be checked by a qualified technician to verify that the “automatic locking retractor” feature for child seats is still functioning properly . In addition, all seat belts should be checked for proper function. • The belt and retractor assembl[...]

Enhanced Driver Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert) If the driver’s seat belt has not been buckled within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) will alert the driver to buckle their seat belt.

Driver And Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) — Airbags This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and right front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint 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[...]

This vehicle may also be equipped with window bags to protect the driver , front, and rear passengers sitting next to a window . If the vehicle is equipped with window bags, they are located above the side windows. Their covers are also labeled SRS AIRBAG. NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airb[...]

Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bolsters to provide improved protection for the driver and front passenger . W indow bags also work with seat belts to improve occupant protection. The seat belts are designed to protect you in many types of collisions. The front airbags deploy in moderate to severe fronta[...]

Y ou should read the instructions provided with your child r estraint to make sure that you are using it pr operly . 2. All occupants should use their lap and shoulder belts properly . 3. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the airbag room to inflate. 4. If your vehicle has window bags, do not lean[...]

Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller • Remote Acceleration Sensors • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Airbag • Passenger Airbag • W indow Bags above Side W indows (If Equipped) • Steering Wheel and Column • Instrument Panel • Interconnecting W iring • Knee Impact Bol[...]

modify the rate of inflation based on the occupant size provided by the Occupant Classification Module. The ORC will not detect roll over , or rear impacts. The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST AR T or RUN positions. These include all of the items listed above except the stee[...]

not be able to pr operly approximate occupant size. Furthermore, the occupant size may appear to incr ease or decrease due to objects hanging on the seat, other passengers pushing on the seat, or objects lodged underneath the seat. If there is a rapid change in temperature or humidity , the OCS may not be able to properly approximate occupant size.[...]

For almost all sizes of properly seated adults, the passen- ger frontal airbag will be enabled in the event of a collision. For small teenagers and some small adults, depending on size, the airbag may or may not be enabled in the event of a collision. For small teenagers and some small adults, depending on size, the airbag may or may not be enabled[...]

upper right side of the instrument panel separate and fold out of the way as the bags inflate to their full size. The bags fully inflate in about 50–70 milliseconds. This is about half of the time it takes to blink your eyes. The bags then quickly deflate while helping to restrain the driver and front passenger . The driver’s front airbag gas i[...]

pressur e increase due to applied lap belt tension does not cause a small occupant to be classified as a larger occupant. • The Bladder Mat and Pressure Sensor are located beneath the seat cushion foam. The pressur e sensor sends a signal to the OCM. • The Side Impact SRS W indow Bags are designed to activate only in certain side collisions. Wh[...]

• The nylon airbag material may sometimes cause abra- sions and/or skin reddening to the driver and front passenger as the airbags deploy and unfold. The abrasions are similar to friction rope burns or those you might get sliding along a carpet or gymnasium floor . They are not caused by contact with chemicals. They are not permanent and normally[...]

Also, the fuel system will shut off immediately upon airbag deployment (gasoline models only). The ignition switch will need to be cycled (i.e. turn the ignition key from the ON position to the LOCK position) after ap- proximately 5 seconds in order to restart the vehicle. Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of t[...]

W ARNING! • Y ou need proper knee impact protection in a collision. Do not mount or locate any aftermarket equipment on or behind the knee bolsters. • It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the airbag system yourself. Be sure to tell anyone who works on your vehicle that it has an airbag system. Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to hav[...]

W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap can become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper re[...]

• Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position. • Children who weigh more than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are older than one year can ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and co[...]

Here are some tips for getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. The manufacturer recommends that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats where you will use it before you buy it. • The restraint must be approp[...]

• When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or remove it fr om the vehicle. Do not leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden stop or collision, it could strike the occupants or seat backs and cause serious personal injury . LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren) [...]

Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge that you carefully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child r estraint.

Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant[...]

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 from the buckle, turn the buckle around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again. If you still can’t make the child restraint secure, try a different seating position. T o a[...]

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