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 ªChildren.º
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 ªSeatsº in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don't let it get twisted.

Your vehicle has a feature that will automatically unlock
the doors and turn the interior lamps on when the frontal
air bags inflate (if battery power is available). You can
lock the doors again and turn the interior lamps off by
using the door lock and interior lamp controls.
In many crashes severe enough to inflate an air bag,
windshields are broken by vehicle deformation.
Additional windshield breakage may also occur from the
right front passenger air bag.

Air bags are designed to inflate only once. After an
air bag inflates, you'll need some new parts for your
air bag system. If you don't get them, the air bag
system won't be there to help protect you in another
crash. A new system will include air bag modules
and possibly other parts. The service manual for your
vehicle covers the need to replace other parts.

Your vehicle has a crash sensing and diagnostic
module, which records information about the air bag
and related systems. It records information about the
readiness of the air bag systems, when the sensors
are activated and driver's safety belt usage at
deployment or in a near
-deployment crash. Some
modules also record speed, engine RPM, brake and
throttle data.
Let only qualified technicians work on your air bag
systems. Improper service can mean that an air bag
system won't work properly. See your dealer
for service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the covering for the driver's or the
right front passenger's air bag, or the air bag
covering on the driver's and right front
passenger's door, the bag may not work properly.
You may have to replace the air bag module in
the steering wheel, both the air bag module and
the instrument panel for the right front
passenger's air bag, or both the air bag module
and door panel for the driver's and right front
passenger's side impact air bag. Do not open or
break the air bag coverings.

Ignition Key Door/Locks Key
The square key is for the ignition only. It has a
resistor pellet which is part of the vehicle's
PASS
-Key
II system.
The oval key is for the doors and all other locks.When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer removes the
plug from the door key. The plug has a code on it that
tells the dealer or a qualified locksmith how to make
extra keys. The ignition key has a bar code tag attached
to it rather than a knock out plug. Your dealer or
qualified locksmith can make extra ignition keys by
reading the bar code tag.
Keep the bar code tag and the door key plugs in a safe
place. If you lose your keys, you will be able to have
new ones made using the plug or bar code tag.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever
lock your keys inside and you may have to
damage your vehicle to get in. Be sure you
have extra keys.

Door Locks
CAUTION:
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.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use either the door key or the remote
keyless entry transmitter.If your vehicle is equipped with the theft
-deterrent system,
you must unlock the doors with the key or remote keyless
entry transmitter to avoid setting off the alarm.
Press the front of the manual lock lever forward to lock
the door from the inside. To unlock the door, press the
lever rearward.

2-5 Central Door Unlocking System
Your vehicle will have this feature if it is equipped with
the theft
-deterrent system. When unlocking either front
door, you can unlock the other doors by holding the key
in the turned position for a few seconds or by quickly
turning the door key twice in the lock cylinder.
Power Door Locks
Press the power door lock
button to lock or unlock all
the doors at once. The rear
power door locks provide a
lock only function as a
convenience feature. For
safety reasons, they will not
unlock the doors.
Automatic Door Locks
Close your doors and turn on the ignition. Every time
you move the shift lever out of PARK (P), all of the
doors will lock. The doors will unlock every time you
stop the vehicle and move the shift lever back into
PARK (P). If someone needs to get out while your
vehicle is not in PARK (P), have that person use the
manual or power lock. When the door is closed again, it
will not lock automatically. 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.
Programmable Automatic Door Locks
(If Equipped)
With the ignition in RUN, the door locks can be
programmed through prompts displayed by the Driver
Information Center (DIC). These prompts allow the
driver to choose various lock settings. For programming
information, see ªMemory and Personalization
Featuresº in the Index.

2. Then open the door from the outside.
To cancel the rear door lock:
1. Unlock the door and open it from the outside.
2. Move the lever all the way down.
3. Do the same for the other rear door.
The rear door locks will now work normally.
Anti-Lockout Feature

open will disable the use of the power door lock buttons
as well as the lock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. If you close the doors, you can lock them
using the remote keyless entry transmitter. It is always
recommended that you remove the ignition key when
locking your vehicle.
Note: The anti
-lockout feature can be overridden by
holding the driver's power door lock button for three
seconds or longer.
