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 ªDriver Positionº earlier in this section.
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 ªNext Generationº
frontal air bag for the driver, another ªNext Generationº
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.
Here are the most important things to know about the air
bag systems:
CAUTION:
You can be severely injured or killed in a crash if
you aren't wearing your safety belt
-- even if you
have air bags. Wearing your safety belt during a
crash helps reduce your chance of hitting things
inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. Air
bags are ªsupplemental restraintsº to the safety
belts. All air bags
-- even Next Generation air
bags
-- are designed to work with safety belts but
don't replace them.
CAUTION: (Continued)

CAUTION:
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery is disconnected, an air
bag can still inflate during improper service. You
can be injured if you are close to an air bag when
it inflates. Avoid yellow connectors. They are
probably part of the air bag systems. Be sure to
follow proper service procedures, and make sure
the person performing work for you is qualified
to do so.
The air bag systems do not need regular maintenance.
Rear Seat Passengers
It's very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear
seat are hurt more often in crashes than those who are
wearing safety belts.Rear passengers who aren't safety belted can be thrown
out of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.
Rear Seat Passenger Positions
Lap-Shoulder Belt
All three rear seating positions have lap
-shoulder belts.
Here's how to wear one properly.

CAUTION:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the ignition
key is dangerous for many reasons. A child or
others could be badly injured or even killed.
They could operate power windows or other
controls or even make the vehicle move. If they
turned the ignition to ACC or ON and moved the
shift lever out of PARK (P), that would release
the parking brake. Don't leave the keys in a
vehicle with children.

Master Key Valet Key
There is a master key that works in all of the lock
cylinders (driver's door, trunk, ignition and glove box).
There is also a valet key which only operates the
driver's door and the ignition.Both the master and valet keys have a transponder
embedded into the key for security and theft deterrence.
The keys also come with a bar code tag. Keep the bar
code tag in a safe place. If you lose your key you will be
able to have a new one made using the bar code tag.
The replacement key must have a transponder embedded
in it.
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 key inside and you may have to damage
your vehicle to get in. Be sure you have an
extra key.

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 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.
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 turning the key twice in the
lock cylinder.

2-6 Rear Door Security Lock
Your vehicle is equipped
with rear door security
locks that help prevent
passengers from opening
the rear doors of your
vehicle from the inside.
To Use One of These Locks
1. Move the lever on the door all the way up to the
ENGAGED position.
2. Close the door.
3. Do the same thing to the other rear door lock.
The rear doors of your vehicle cannot be opened from
the inside when this feature is in use.
To Open a Rear Door with the Security Lock
1. You may unlock the door by using the remote
keyless entry transmitter, the front door power lock
switch or by lifting the rear door lock knob.
2. Then open the door from the outside.To Cancel the Rear Door Lock
1. You may unlock the door by using the remote
keyless entry transmitter, the front door power lock
switch or by lifting the rear door manual lock. Open
the door 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
Leaving your key in any ignition position with any door
open will disable the use of the power door locks and
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) lock function. If you
close the doors, you can lock them using the power door
locks or the (RKE) system. It is always recommended
that you remove the ignition key when locking
your vehicle.
The anti
-lockout feature can be overridden by holding
the power door lock switch for three seconds or longer.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open the door, set the
locks from the inside, get out and close the door.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
With this feature, you can
lock and unlock the doors,
unlock the trunk, open the
fuel door and turn on your
vehicle's interior lamps
from about 10 feet (3 m) up
to 30 feet (9 m) away using
the RKE transmitter
supplied with your vehicle.
Your remote keyless entry (RKE) system is intended to
be used as an added vehicle entry device. It is not
intended to replace a door key. It operates on a radio
frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.This device complies with RSS
-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.
Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
The range of this system is from about 10 feet (3 m) up
to 30 feet (9 m). At times you may notice a decrease in
range. This is normal for any RKE system. If the
transmitter does not work or if you have to stand closer
to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:

Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions that follow.

Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy
