locks” section in chapter 2.
Always lock the passenger ’s windows using
the lock switch when children are riding in the
vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure couldresult in injury to a child operating the power
window. Refer to the “Windows” section in
chapter 2. Never leave unattended children in the ve-
hicle. They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent opera-tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny
days, temperature in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to them. Help prevent young children from locking
themselves in the trunk. When leaving the ve-
hicle, either close all windows and lock alldoors or cancel the inside trunk lid release. Also make certain that the trunk is closed. On hot or sunny days, the temperature in a trunkcould quickly become high enough to cause
death or serious heat-related injuries includ-ing brain damage, particularly for small chil-dren.
Carefully read the sections “Child restraint systems ”,
“ SRS airbag ”, and “Seatbelts” in chapter 1 of this owner’
s manual for instructions and precautions
concerning the child restraint system, seatbelt sys-tem and SRS airbag system.
Engine exhaust gas (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
Never inhale engine exhaust gas. Engine ex-
haust gas contains carbon monoxide, a color-
less and odorless gas which is dangerous, oreven lethal, if inhaled. Always properly maintain the engine ex-
haust system to prevent engine exhaust gasfrom entering the vehicle. Never run the engine in a closed space,
such as a garage, except for the brief timeneeded to drive the vehicle in or out of it. Avoid remaining in a parked vehicle for a
lengthy time while the engine is running. Ifthat is unavoidable, then use the ventilationfan to force fresh air into the vehicle. Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille
free from snow, leaves or other obstructionsto ensure that the ventilation system always
works properly.

If at any time you suspect that exhaust
fumes are entering the vehicle, have the prob- lem checked and corrected as soon as pos-
sible. If you must drive under these condi-tions, drive only with all windows fully open. Keep the trunk lid or rear gate closed while
driving to prevent exhaust gas from enteringthe vehicle.
Drinking and driving
WARNING
Drinking and then driving is very dangerous.
Alcohol in the bloodstream delays your reac-tion and impairs your perception, judgment and attentiveness. If you drive after drinking –
even if you drink just a little – it will increase
the risk of being involved in a serious or fatal
accident, injuring or killing yourself, your pas-sengers and others. In addition, if you are in-jured in the accident, alcohol may increase
the severity of that injury. Please don ’t drink and drive.
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes
of accidents. Since alcohol affects all people differ- ently, you may have consumed too much alcohol todrive safely even if the level of alcohol in your bloodis below the legal limit. The safest thing you can do
is never drink and drive. However if you have no
choice but to drive, stop drinking and sober up
completely before getting behind the wheel.
Drugs and driving
WARNING
There are some drugs (over the counter and
prescription) that can delay your reaction time and impair your perception, judgment and at-
tentiveness. If you drive after taking them, it
may increase your, your passengers ’ and oth-
er persons ’ risk of being involved in a serious
or fatal accident.
If you are taking any drugs, check with your doctor
or pharmacist or read the literature that accompa-
nies the medication to determine if the drug you are
taking can impair your driving ability. Do not driveafter taking any medications that can make you
drowsy or otherwise affect your ability to safely oper- ate a motor vehicle. If you have a medical condition
that requires you to take drugs, please consult with

The security system helps to protect your vehicle
and valuables from theft. The horn sounds and the
parking lights flash if someone attempts to break
into your vehicle. The starter motor is also inter-
rupted 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 in-
serted into the ignition switch. System operation
The security system will give the following alarm in-
dications when triggered: The parking lights will flash and the horn will
sound intermittently. In addition, the starter motor willnot operate. The alarm automatically resets after 30 seconds;
however, the alarm will reactivate if the vehicle is
tampered with again. The alarm will continue for sixtimes if any sensor continues to be activated.
The alarm is triggered by: Opening a door, the rear gate or trunk lid (vehicle
equipped with trunk light only).

two alarm levels for shock: warning and alarm. In
warning mode, the alarm detects lower level vibra-
tions 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 levels of shock are
detected and the system will go into full alarm. Ignition switch being turned on while in armed
