Your vehicle is equipped with seat
belts in all seating positions.Your seat belt system also
includes a light on the
instrument panel to remind you and
your passengers to f asten your seat
belts.
Seat belts are the single most
effectivesafetydeviceforadultsand
larger children (Inf ants and smaller
children must be properly restrained
in child seats).
In addition, most states and all
Canadian provinces require you to
wear seat belts. When properly worn, seat belts: Of course, seat belts cannot
completely protect you in every
crash.Butinmostcases,seatbelts
can reduce your risk of serious
injury.
Help keep you in a good position
should the airbags ever deploy. A
good position reduces the risk of
injury f rom an inf lating airbag, and
allows you to get the best
advantage f rom the airbag.
Keep you f rom being thrown out
of the vehicle.
Help keep you f rom being thrown
against the inside of the vehicle
and against other occupants.
Help protect you in almost every
type of crash, including f rontal,
side, and rear impacts and
rollovers.
Keep you connected to the vehicle
so you can take advantage of the
vehicle’s built-in saf ety f eatures.
Not wearing a seat belt properly
increases the chance of serious
injury or death in a crash, even
though your vehicle has airbags.

µYour vehicle has a door monitor light
on the instrument panel to indicate
when a specif ic door is not tightly
closed.
Locking the doors reduces the
chance of someone being thrown out
of the vehicle during a crash, and it
helps prevent passengers f rom
accidentally opening a door and
f alling out.
Locking the doors also helps prevent
an outsider f rom unexpectedly
opening a door when you come to a
stop.
See page f or how to lock the
doors, and page f or how the
monitor light works.
The f ollowing pages provide
instructions on how to properly
protect the driver, adult passengers,
and teenage children who are large
enough and mature enough to ride in
the f ront. See pages f or
important guidelines on how to
properly protect inf ants, small
children, and larger children who
ride in your vehicle.
The rest of this section gives more
detailed inf ormation about how you
can maximize your saf ety.
Af ter everyone has entered the car,
be sure the doors are closed and
locked.
Remember, however, that no saf ety
system can prevent all injuries or
deaths that can occur in severe
crashes, even when seat belts are
properly worn and the airbags deploy.

Your seat belt system includes lap/
shoulder belts in all f ive seating
positions. The f ront seat belts are
also equipped with automatic seat
belt tensioners.All seat belts have an emergency
locking retractor. In normal driving,
the retractor lets you move f reely in
your seat while it keeps some
tension on the belt. During a collision
or sudden stop, the retractor
automatically locks the belt to help
restrain your body.
The seat belt system
includes a light on the
instrument panel to remind you and
your passengers to f asten your seat
belts.
If you turn the ignition switch to ON
(II) without f astening your seat belt,
a beeper will sound and the light will
blink. The beeper will stop af ter
several seconds.
If you do not f asten your seat belt
bef ore the beeper stops, the
indicator light will stop blinking but
remain lit. If you continue driving
without f astening your seat belt, the
indicator will come on and the
beeper will sound at regular intervals. The lap and shoulder belt goes over
your shoulder, across your chest,
and across your hips.
To fasten the belt, insert the latch
plate into the buckle, then tug on the
belt to make sure the buckle is
latched (see page f or how to
properly position the belt).
To unlock the belt, push the red
PRESSbuttononthebuckle.Guide
the belt across your body so that it
retracts completely. Af ter exiting the
vehicle, be sure the belt is out of the
way and will not get closed in the
door.
The seat belts in all positions except
the driver’s have an additional
locking mechanism that must be
activated to secure a child seat (see
page ).

Front passenger’s weight sensors
that monitor the weight on the
seat. These prevent the passenger’s
airbag from inflating if the weight
is less than about 65 lbs (30 kg)
(see page ).If you ever have a moderate to
severe f rontal collision, sensors will
detect the vehicle’s rapid
deceleration. If the rate of
deceleration is high enough, the
control unit will instantly inf late the
driver’s and f ront passenger’s f ront
airbags, at the time and with the
f orce needed.
Automatic front seat belt
tensioners (see page ).
Sensors that can detect a
moderate to severe frontal impact
or side impact in models equipped
with side airbags.
A sophisticated electronic system
that continually monitors and
records inf ormation about the
sensors, the control unit, the
airbag activators, and driver and
passenger seat belt use when the
ignition is ON (II).
An indicator light on the
instrument panel that alerts you to
a possible problem with your
airbags (see page ).
An indicator on the dashboard that
alerts you that the passenger’s
f ront airbag has been turned of f
(see page ).
Emergency backup power in case
your vehicle’s electrical system is

The driver’s advanced front airbag
system includes a seat position
sensor under the seat. If the seat is
positioned too f ar f orward, the
airbag will inf late sequentially,
regardless of the severity of the
impact.
If there is a problem with the seat
position sensor, the SRS indicator in
the instrument will come on in the
instrument panel. In this case, the
driver’s airbag will inf late in thenormal manner during a crash
regardless of the driver’s seating
position.
The passenger’s advanced f ront
airbag system has weight sensors
under the seat. If sensors detect a
total weight on the seat of about 65
lbs (30 kg) or less, the system will
automatically turn the passenger’s
front airbag off.
When the airbag is turned of f , a light
in the center of the dashboard will
come on indicating ‘‘Passenger
