When the supplemental side airbag is acti­
vated, it breaks through a seam on the side
of the seatback identified by the AIR BAG la­
bel. It inflates between the side trim panel
and the passenger within the blink of an eye
at very high speed and with great force. The
supplemental side airbag could injure you if
your seating position is not proper or upright
or if items are located in the area where the
supplemental side airbag inflates. This ap­
plies especially to children. See also "Child
Safety". on page 44.
36 ----------------------------
�W ARNING
To reduce the risk of injury when
the supplemental side airbag in­
flates.
always sit in an upright position
and do not lean against the area
where the supplemental side
airbag is located.
always make sure that safety
balta are worn properly,
- a child must never rest his/her
head against the side trim panel
in the area where the supple­
mental aide airbag inflates. An
inflating airbag can cause seri­
ous or fatal injury.
see "Importance of proper seat­
ing position .. in this section at
pages 29 and 37 and heed all
WA RNINGS. When
the system is activated, fine dust is
released. This is normal and is not caused
by a fire in the vehicle. It could irritate your
skin.
�W ARNING
• The fine dust created when air­
bags deploy can cause breathing
problems for people with a history
of asthma or other breathing con­
ditions.
• To reduce the risk of breath ing
problems. those with asthma or
other respiratory conditions
should get fresh air right away by
getti ng out of the car or opening
windows or doors.
• If you are in an accident in
which airbags deploy. wash your
hands and face with mild soap and
water before eating.

SAFETY RRST---------------------------------------------------
When the head airbag is triggered, it de­
ploys from above in a downward direction,
covering the side windows and door col­
umns like a curtain -see illustration. It
therefore helps to protect both the front and
rear occupants at the same time.
To make certain that this additional protec­
tive functions is effective, make certain that
the areas in which the airbags deploy are
free of obstacles.

your eyes. flush them with water. Importance
of proper seating
position
In a collision head airbags must inflate
within a fraction of a second. In order to help
the airbag to do its job, it is important, that
driver and passengers sit properly at all
times. By keeping room between your body
and the side windows, the airbag can inflate
fully and completely and provide supple­
mental protection in certain side collisions.
�W ARNING
• To be sure the head airbags can
deploy properly and can help to re­
duce the risk of injury In a side col­
lision:
- Never lean your head. arm or el­
bow against the door. windows
and the area of the head airbags.
Never put your arm. hand or
head out of the window.

SAFET YRRST---------------------------------------
Child safety
The physical principles of what happens
when your car is in an accident, illustrated
on pages 14-17 , apply also to children. But
unlike adults and teenagers. their muscles
and bones a.re not fully developed. In many
respects chrldren are at greater risk of seri­
ous injury in accidents than are adults.
Because children's bodies are not fully de­
veloped, they require restraint systems es­
pecially designed for their size. weight, and
body structure. Many countries and all
states of the United States and provinces of
Canada have laws requiring the use of ap­
proved child restraint systems for infants
and small children.
Child restraints, like adult safety belts, must
be used properly to be effective. Used im­
properly, they can increase the risk of seri­
ous injury in an accident.
44 �W
ARNING
• Accident statistics have shown
that children are generally safer in
the rear seat area than in the front
seating position. Always restrain
any child age 12 and under in the
rear.
• . All ve�icle occupants and espe­
Cially children must be restra ined
properly whenever riding in a ve­
hicle. An unrestrained or improp­
erly restra ined child could be in­
jur
_ed b
y stri king the interior or by
bemg eJected from the vehicle dur­
ing a sudden maneuver or impact. J'A1
WARNING
continued
An unrestrained or improperly re­
strained child is also at greater
risk of injury or death through con­
ta c:t with �n inflating airbag. A
su1table child restraint properly
installed and used at one of the
rear seating positions provides the
highest degree of protec tion for
infants and small children in most
accidents.
Consult the child seat manufacturer's in­
structions to be sure the seat is right for
your child's size.

alarm system
The anti-theft alarm system triggers an
acoustic alarm and switches on the emer­
genc y flasher if it senses unauthorized inter­
ference with the vehicle.
When the vehicle is locked the alarm sy­
stem monitors and protects the following
parts of the vehicle:
• engine compartment
• luggage compartment
• doors
• factory installed radio
• passenger compartment
• ignition.
The alarm system is switched on or off
whenever you lock or unlock the vehicle.
Simply tum the key to the lock or unlock
position or use the remote control.
The system is activated about 30 seconds
after the vehicle is locked, and the indicator
lights on the front door window sills start
flashing. The
horn sounds briefly when the car is
locked to confirm that the alarm system is
operative and that all doors, hood and rear
lid are properly closed. If the hom does not
sound, or the indicator lights do not flash,
check all doors, rear lid and hood and close
them properly. The horn will also sound if
the door, lid and hood are closed when the
system is already switched on.
The rear lid can be opened separately even
when the system is active. When the rear
lid is closed the luggage compartment will
again be included in the alarm circuit.
When the system is switched on the alarm
will be triggered if one of the doors, the en­
gine hood or the rear lid are opened, or if the
ign ition is switched on or the radio re­
moved.
When the alarm is triggered the hom
sounds and all four turn signals flash simul­
taneously. The engine cannot be started un­
til the system is switched off with the key
or the remote control.
