Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rea‘r-facing child restraint in this seat.. Here’s why:
I A CAUTION:
A child in a rearfacing child restraint can be
seriously injured if the right front passenger’s air
bag inflates.
This is because the back of a
rearfacing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag.
Always secure a rearfacing
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. Be sure
to follow the instructions that came with the child
restraint. Secure
the child in the child restraint when and
as the instructions say.
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 forward-facing-child restraint.
(See “Seats” in the Index.)
2. Put the restraint on the seat.
3. 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.
If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child’s face
or neck, put it behind the child restraint.

more information, see “Memory Seat and Mirrors”
in the Index. Note
that pressing the transmitter buttons numerous
times (approximately
500 times) out of the vehicle’s
operating range may cause the transmitter
not to work.

buttons
10 or more times out of range will also cause
the transmitter not to work. To reset the transmitter, you
must be within
the vehicle’s operating range. Press and
hold the trunk button, and within

approximately
three seconds. See your dealer for service

Matching Transmitter@) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlockmg your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen,
a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Once your dealer has
coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not
unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have
only up to
four transmitters matched to
it.

0 Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves).
The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside
of the windows.
0 When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
fan to the highest speed for a few moments before
driving off. This helps clear the intake outlets of
snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside
of the windows.
0 Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects.
This helps circulate air throughout your vehicle.
Defrosting
Use DEFROST to remove fog or ice from the windshield
quickly
in extremely humid or cold conditions.
Press the DEFROST button. If you select DEFROST,
adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan button up or
down.
If you select DEFROST from AUTO, the system
will control the fan speed. The temperature also needs to
be adjusted by turning the TEMP/AUTO knob.
Note that recirculation
is not available in the defrost or
defog modes.
Rear Window Defogger
The lines you see on the
rear window warm the
glass. Press this button
to
turn on the rear defogger.
With it, the rear window
and both outside rearview
mirrors are heated.
The system will automatically shut off after 10 minutes.
If further defogging is desired, press the button again.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
~~~
~
Don’t use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut
or damage the warming grid or the
integrated rear window antenna, and the repairs
wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
