Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
U
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured if the right front passenger’s
air bag inflates. This is because the back of
a
rear-facing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. Always secure a rear-facing
child restraint
in the rear seat.
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has one.
1. Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air
bag, always move the seat
as far back as it will go
before securing a fonvard-facing child restraint. (See
“Seats” in the Index.)
2. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint. Tilt 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. Secure the child in the child restraint as the
instructions say.
4. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions
of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you
how.

positioned
so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to. 6.
To tighten the belt, pull up on the shoulder belt while
you push down on the child restraint.
7. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure
it is secure.
To 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.

To replace the battery in the transmitter:
1. Use a small coin or flathead screwdriver to separate
the bottom half from the top half of the transmitter.
2. Remove the battery and replace it with the new one.
Make sure the positive
(+) side of the battery faces
down. For battery replacement, use a 3 volt battery,
type CR2032, or equivalent.
3. Read the instructions inside the case.
4. Put the two halves back together. Make sure the
cover is on tightly,
so water won’t get in.
5. Check the operation of the transmitter with your
vehicle.
If the transmitter does not work, try
synchronizing the transmitter with the receiver.

~ Synchronization
Your remote Keyless Entry System is equipped with a
security system that prevents anyone from recording and
playing back your signal. The transmitter does not send
the same signal twice to the receiver. The receiver will
not respond to a signal that has been sent to
it more
than once.
To resynchronize your transmitter and receiver, follow
these directions:
1. Stand close to your vehicle,
2. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on
the transmitter at the same time,
3. Hold the buttons for at least five seconds. During
this time, the doors should lock and unlock once.
This confirms the resynchronization. If the doors do
not lock and unlock, see your dealer for service.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Convenience Net (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have a convenience net. You’ll see it
just inside the
back wall of the trunk. Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net.
It can help keep them
from falling over during sharp turns or quick starts and
stops. Unclip a corner of the convenience net to fit
larger objects behind the net, then re-clip
it to secure
them in place.
The net isn’t for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the
trunk as far forward
as you can.
You can unhook the net
so that it will lie flat when
you’re not using it.
