Safety Belts: They’= For Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts pr\
operly. It also tells
you some things
you should not do with safety belts.
I
A Don’t let anyone ride where they can’t wear a safety bel\
t properly. If
- b you are in a crash and you’re not wearing a safety belt, your injuries\

can be
much worse. You can hit things inside the vehicle or be
ejected from it. You 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 faste\
ned
I properly too. I

AM110001
This figure lights up when you turn the key to RUN or START when your
safety belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll hear a chime too.
It’s the reminder
to buckle up. In many states and Canadian provinces, the
law says to wear safety belts. Here’s why:
They work.
You 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 very mild. In them, you won’t get hurt eve\
n if you’re not
buckled up. And some crashes can be
so serious, like being hit by a train,
that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive. But most cr\
ashes are in
between. In many
of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes
walk away. Without belts they could be badly hurt
or killed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Q: If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I
wear safety belts?
A: You 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 kmlh).
Safety belts are for everyone.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
K3264
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a light will come on for about
eight seconds to remind people to fasten their’ safety belts. Unless the driver’s
safety belt is buckled,
a chime will also sound.

Every vehicle with power door locks has a pulse lock system. \
A pulse lock
system works like this:
If the sliding door is open and you push the power door lock sw\
itch, the
sliding door will not lock immediately. After you close the do\
or, the system
comes on and, in about five seconds, locks the sliding door.
All models have overriding door locks. When a door is locked, the \
door
handle will not work the latch. This will help stop a door from being
accidentally opened. However, power door locks do not affect th\
e operation of
the hatch.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your door and set t\
he
locks from inside. Then get out and close the door.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your vehicle
has a number of theft deterrent features, we know that nothing\
we put on it
can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can help.
Key in the ignition: If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside,
it’s an easy target for joy riders
or professional thieves-so don’t do it. When
you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door, you’ll \
hear a chime reminding you to remove your key from the ignition and take i\
t with you.
Always do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and
so will your ignition
and transmission. And remember
to lock the doors.
Parking at Night: Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight. Put the\
m in a storage
area,
or take them with you.
Parking Lots: If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your
vehicle,
it’s best to lock it up and take your keys. But what if you have to
leave your ignition key? What
if you have to leave something valuable in your
vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area out of sight.
Lock all doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
