Expectant mothers also need to use the seatbelts. They should con-
sult their doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be
worn securely and as low as possible over the hips, not over thewaist.
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
The driver ’s seatbelt has an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR).
The emergency locking retractor allows normal body movement but the
retractor locks automatically during a sudden stop, impact or if you pull
the belt very quickly out of the retractor. Automatic/Emergency Locking Retractor (A/ELR)
Each passenger ’s seatbelt has an Automatic/Emergency Locking Re-
tractor (A/ELR). The Automatic/Emergency Locking Retractor normally
functions as an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR). The A/ELR has an
additional locking mode “Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode ” in-
tended to secure a child restraint system. When the seatbelt is once
drawn out completely and is then retracted even slightly, the retractorlocks the seatbelt in that position and the seatbelt cannot be extended.
As the belt is rewinding, clicks will be heard which indicate the retractor
functions as ALR. When the seatbelt is retracted fully, ALR mode is re-leased.
When securing a child restraint system on the passengers ’ seats, the
seatbelt must be changed over to the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode.
When the child restraint system is removed, make sure that the retractor
is restored to the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) function by allow-
ing the seatbelt to retract fully.
For instructions on how to convert the retractor to the ALR mode and re-
store it to the ELR mode, see the “Child restraint systems ” section in this
chapter. Seatbelt warning light and chime
Your vehicle is equipped with a seatbelt warning device at the driver ’s

tem or to delete old ones. The system can learn up to four uniquetransmitter codes. The four transmitter codes may be the same or dif-
ferent.

Security system (if equipped)
The security system helps to protect your vehicle and valuables from
theft. The horn sounds and the turn signal lights flash if someone
attempts to break into your vehicle. The starter motor is also interrupted
to prevent starting the vehicle without a key.
The system can be armed and disarmed with the remote transmitter.
The system does not operate when the key is inserted into the ignitionswitch.
System operation
The security system will give the following alarm indications when trig-
gered: The turn signal lights will flash and the horn will sound intermit-
tently. In addition, the starter motor will not operate. The alarm automatically resets after 30 seconds; however, the
alarm will reactivate if the vehicle is tampered with again. The alarmwill continue for six times if any sensor continues to be activated.
The alarm is triggered by: Opening a door.
Application of physical shock to the vehicle (e.g. breaking glass or
forced entry). Note that there are two alarm levels for shock: warning
and alarm. In warning mode, the alarm detects lower level vibrations
and triggers 2 warning chirps on the horn and two flashes on the
lights as a deterrent to would be vandals. In alarm mode, higher lev-
els of shock are detected and the system will go into full alarm. Ignition switch being turned on while in armed state.
NOTE The alarm will not be triggered by opening the switchback

CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with the pointer of the tachometer in
the red zone. In this range, fuel injection will be cut by the enginecontrol module to protect the engine from overrevving. Theengine will resume running normally after the engine speed isreduced below the red zone.
The tachometer shows the engine speed in thousands of revolutions perminute. Outside temperature indicator (if equipped)
The outside temperature indicator shows the outside temperature in a
range from –22°F to 122 °F ( –30 °C to 50 °C).
The indicator can give a false reading under any of the following condi-tions: When there is too much sun.
During idling; while running at low speeds in a traffic jam; when the
engine is restarted immediately following a shutdown. When the actual outside temperature falls outside the specified indi-
cator range.
