The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies
force to the strong pelvic bones. And you'd be less likely
to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go
over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the
body are best able to take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks if there's a sudden stop or a crash,
or if you pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.
CAUTION:
You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is
too loose. In a crash, you would move forward
too much, which could increase injury. The
shoulder belt should fit against your body.
To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle.

4. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of
the retractor to set the lock.5. To tighten the belt, feed the shoulder belt back into
the retractor while you push down on the child
restraint. If you're using a forward
-facing child
restraint, you may find it helpful to use your knee to
push down on the child restraint as you tighten
the belt.
6. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.

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.
4. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is
positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
5. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of
the retractor to set the lock.

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 your key or keyless entry
transmitter, if your vehicle is equipped.
Power Door Locks
Press the power door lock
switch to lock or unlock
all doors.

The rear doors do not have power door lock switches.
The manual lever on each front and rear door works
only on that door's lock. It won't lock or unlock all the
doors. Push the manual lever rearward to unlock and
forward to lock.
Last Door Closed Locking
This feature allows the doors to be locked while the
passengers are leaving the vehicle. This also provides a
brief time period after all the doors are closed, but
before the doors lock, in which the doors may be
opened. Last Door Closed Locking can be programmed
by the owner.
Last Door Closed Locking is activated by either the
power door lock switch inside the vehicle or by pressing
the LOCK on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. After pressing the power door lock switch
once, three chimes will be heard. The three chimes
indicate that the Last Door Closed Locking has
been activated.
The driver has three actions possible once the Last Door
Closed Locking is activated:

Cancel the Last Door Closed Locking by pressing
the unlock switch or by fully inserting the key in
the ignition.

Override the Last Door Closed Locking feature and
lock the doors immediately by pressing the lock
switch a second time.

Let the Last Door Closed Locking feature complete
the locking of the vehicle.

If the driver wishes to let the Last Door Closed Locking
feature complete the locking of the vehicle, no
additional action is required. The Last Door Closed
Locking feature will lock the doors automatically after
all the doors have been closed for a period of five
seconds. During this five second period, any door may
be reopened, at which time the three possible actions
shown previously are again available.
You can customize the vehicle to activate the Last Door
Closed Locking feature as described previously or to
completely disable the Last Door Closed Locking
feature at all times. If disabled, the doors will lock
immediately when a power door lock switch is pressed.
The Last Door Closed locking feature is customized
when the driver performs the following sequence with
the doors closed and the ignition key in ON.
1. Press and hold the power door lock switch in the
unlock position.
2. While holding the door unlock switch, cycle the
transaxle out of and back into PARK (P).3. After an initial transaxle cycle, each additional cycle
will turn the Last Door Closed Locking feature on
or off.
4. During this customization procedure, the chime will
sound, providing the driver feedback. A single chime
will be heard if the Last Door Closed Locking
feature is off, and two chimes will be heard if the
Last Door Closed Locking feature is on.
5. When the door unlock switch is released, the vehicle
will remain in the most recent operating mode.
The Last Door Closed Locking feature is enabled when
the vehicle is shipped from the factory.
Disconnecting the battery for up to a year will not
change the programmed mode of the Last Door Closed
Locking feature.
