Top tether anchorages
Anchorage location
1) For left seat
2) For center seat 3) For right seat
Three anchorages, i.e., ones for the right, center and
left positions, are already installed on the rear edge of
the roof. Open the cover flaps to use the anchorages. To hook the top tether
1. Remove the rear seat headrest at the seating posi-
tion where the child restraint system has been in-
stalled with the seatbelt or lower anchorages; lift up
the headrest while pressing the release button. Store
the headrest in the cargo area. Avoid placing the
headrest in the passenger compartment to prevent it
from being thrown around in the passenger compart-
ment in a sudden stop or a sharp turn.

Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
–CONTINUED –
When will the SRS frontal airbag not deploy?
The SRS frontal airbag is basically not designed to de-
ploy if the vehicle is struck from side or from behind, or
if it rolls onto its side or roof, or if it is involved in a low-
speed frontal collision. 1) First impact
2) Second impact
In an accident where the vehicle is impacted more
than once, the SRS frontal airbag deploys only once.
Example: In the case of a double collision, first with an-
other vehicle, then against a concrete wall in immedi-
ate succession, once the SRS frontal airbag is
activated on the first impact, it will not be activated on
the second. SRS side airbag (if equipped)
The SRS side airbag is stored in the door side of each

Keys and doors

To arm the system using power door locking
switches
1. Close all windows.
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Open the doors and get out of the vehicle.
4. Make sure that the engine hood is locked.
5. Close the doors and the rear gate but leave only the
driver’s door or the front passenger’s door open.
6. Push the front side (“LOCK” side) of the power door
locking switch to set the door locks.
7. Close the door. An electronic chirp will sound one
time, the turn signal lights will flash one time and the
indicator light will start flashing slowly (approximately
once every two seconds) to inform you that the system has armed.
NOTE
The system can be armed even if the engine hood,
the windows and/or mo
onroofs are opened. Al-
ways make sure that they are fully closed before
arming the system. Disarming the system
Briefly press the “UNLOCK/DISARM” button (for less
than two seconds) on the remote transmitter. The driv-
er’s door will unlock, an electronic chirp will sound two
times, the turn signal lights will flash two times and the
indicator light will go off.
To unlock all other doors and the rear gate, briefly
press the “UNLOCK/DISARM” button a second time. Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the transmitter
(i.e. the transmitter is lost, broken or the transmitter
battery is too weak), you can disarm the system with-
out using the transmitter.
To disarm the system:
1. Unlock the door with the key and then open the
door.
2. The alarm will sound.

Moonroof (if equipped)
1) Open/close switch
2) Open
3) Close
The moonroof operates only when the ignition switch
is in the “ON” position. To open the moonroof
Push and quickly release the rear part of the switch to
open the moonroof. The sun shade also will be
opened together with the moonroof. The moonroof will
stop at a position 20 in. (50 cm) away from the fully closed position. Push the switch again to open the
moonroof completely.
To stop the moonroof at a desired position, simply
push the opposite side of the switch.
After washing the vehicle or after it rains, wipe away
water on the roof prior to opening the moonroof to pre-
vent water drops from falling into the passenger com- partment.
To close the moonroof
Push and quickly release the front part of the switch to
close the moonroof. The moonroof will stop at a posi-
tion 8 in. (20 cm) away from the fully closed position.
Push the switch again to close the moonroof com-pletely.
To stop the moonroof at a desired position, simply
push the opposite side of the switch. Anti-entrapment function
When the moonroof senses an object trapped be-
tween its glass and the vehicle’s roof during closure, it
automatically moves back by 6 in. (15 cm) from that
point and then stops. The anti-entrapment function
may also be activated by a strong shock on the moon-
roof even when there is nothing trapped.
