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
Here’s how to wear the lap-shoulder belt 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.
R I
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. The shoulder portion
of the belt has an energy management loop. It is
designed
to open and help protect you in certain crashes.
If it opens, you will
see a label on the safety belt that
says to replace the belt. Be sure
to do so. If you don’t,
the safety belt won’t work properly and won’t protect
you in another crash. For more information on replacing
safety belts after a crash, see “Replacing Safety Belts’’
in the Index.

The ignition keys are for
the ignition only.
The door Keys are for the
doors and all other locks. When
a new vehicle is delivered, the retailer removes
the plugs from the keys and gives them to the first
owner. However,
the ignition key may not have a
plug. If the ignition key doesn’t have a plug, there
will be a bar-coded key tag instead.
Each plug or tag has a code on it that tells your retailer
or a qualified locksmith how to make extra keys. Keep
the plugs or tags in a safe place..
If you lose your keys,
you’ll be able to have new ones made easily using these
plugs or tags. If your ignition keys don’t have plugs or
tags, go to your retailer for the correct key code if you
need a new ignition key.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of features that can
help prevent theft. But you can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever
lock your keys inside. You may even have to
damage your vehicle to get in.
So be sure you
have extra keys.

Door Locks There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your door key or remote lock
control transmitter.
I
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 belt
properly, lock your doors, and you will be
far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
From the inside, to lock the door, rotate the locking
lever forward.
To unlock the door, rotate the locking lever rearward.
There
is a red mark on the switch when the door
is unlocked.

Central Door Unlocking System

more than one second, all doors will unlock.
Power Door Locks
With power door locks, you
can lock or unlock all doors
of your vehicle from the
driver
or front passenger
door lock switch.
Door Ajar Reminder
If a door is not fully closed when the transaxle is in gear,
a chime will sound and the Driver Information Center
(DIC) will display one of these messages:
DRIVER DOOR AJAR
PASSENGER DOOR AJAR
LEFT REAR DOOR AJAR
RIGHT REAR DOOR AJAR
Programmable Automatic Door Locks
This is a Personalization feature that programs your
door locks to automatically lock or unlock.
Close the doors and turn on the ignition. Every time you
move the shift lever out of PARK (P), all of the doors
will lock. And, every time you stop and move the shift
lever into PARK
(P), the doors will unlock. If someone
needs to get out while you’re not in PARK (P), have that
person use the manual
or power lock. When the door is
closed again, it will not lock automatically. Just use the
manual or power lock to lock the door again. If
you
need to lock the doors before shifting out of PARK (P),
use the manual or power lock button to lock the doors.
