A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an
home, why should I wear safety belts?
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 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
Adults
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know about safety belts and children. And there are different rules
for smaller children and babies. If a child will be
riding in your vehicle, see the part of this manual
called “Children.” Follow those rules for
everyone’s protection.
First, you’ll want to know which restraint systems your vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear
it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it’s more
likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective
is wearing them properly.
Right Front Passenger Position
To learn how to wear the right front passenger’s safety
belt properly, see “Driver Position” in the Index.
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way as the driver’s safety belt
-- except for one thing. If
you ever pull the lap portion of the belt out all the way,
you will engage the child restraint locking feature. If
this happens, just let the belt go back all the way and
start again.
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint
(SIR) Systems
This part explains the frontal and side impact
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) systems or air
bag systems.
Your vehicle has four air bags -- a “Next Generation”
frontal air bag for the driver, another “Next Generation”
frontal air bag for the right front passenger, a side
impact air bag for the driver, and another side impact air
bag for the right front passenger. Next Generation
frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of
injury from the force of an inflating frontal air bag. But
even these air bags must inflate very quickly if they
are
to do their job and comply with federal regulations.

5. Pull the rest of the lap belt all the way out of the
retractor
to set the lock.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Door Locks
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
-- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won't open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the
chance
of being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash
if the doors aren't locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better
off whenever you drive your vehicle.
rhere are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
%om the outside, use either the key or the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. Because your vehicle has the theft-deterrent system, you
must unlock
the
doors with the key or RKE transmitter
to avoid setting off the alarm.
I The manual lock is on the
top
of the door panel near
the window.
Push the
manual lock lever down to
lock the door from the
inside.
To unlock the door,
raise the lock lever.
Central Door Unlocking System
When unlocking the driver's door, you can unlock the
other doors by holding the key in the turned position for
a few seconds or by quickly rotating the key twice in the
lock cylinder.

of the windows.

their window controls. The light on the switch goes out
to indicate that the rear window controls are enabled.
