Your vehicle is equipped with many
features that work together to
protect you and your passenger
during a crash.
Some saf ety f eatures do not require
anyactiononyourpart.These
include a strong aluminum
framework, that forms a safety cage
around the passenger compartment;
f ront and rear crush zones, a
collapsible steering column, and seat
belt tensioners that tighten the seat
belts in the event of a crash.

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
your vehicle.
See page f or important guidelines
on how to properly protect small
children and larger children who ride
in your vehicle.
Af ter everyone has entered the
vehicle, be sure the doors are closed
and locked.Your vehicle has a door monitor
indicator on the instrument panel to
indicate when either door or the
hatch 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 a passenger 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 indicator works.
Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the
rear as possible while allowing you to
maintain f ull control of the vehicle.
Have a passenger adjust his or her
seat as far to the rear as possible.

Your seat belt system includes lap/
shoulder belts in both seating
positions. The seat belts are also
equipped with automatic seat belt
tensioners.The seat belt system
includes an indicator on the
instrument panel and a beeper to
remind you and your passenger to
f asten your belts.
If you turn the ignition switch to ON
(II) without f astening your belt, a
beeper will sound and the indicator
will f lash. If you do not f asten your
seat belt bef ore the beeper stops, the
indicator will stop f lashing but
remain on.
If you continue driving without
f astening your seat belt, the
indicator f lashes and the beeper
sounds again 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.
Both seat belts have an emergency
locking retractor. In normal driving,
the retractor lets you move f reely in
your seat while it keeps some
tensiononthebelt.
During a collision or sudden stop,
the retractor automatically locks thebelt to help restrain your body.
The passenger’s seat belt has an
additional locking mechanism that
must be activated to secure a child
seat (see page ).
If the shoulder part of the belt is
pulled all the way out, the locking
mechanism will activate. The belt
will retract, but it will not allow the
passenger to move f reely.
To deactivate the locking
mechanism, unlatch the buckle, and
let the seat belt f ully retract. To
ref asten the belt, pull it out only as
f ar as needed.

µ
Never hold a small child on your
lap. If you are not wearing a seat
belt in crash, you could be thrown
f orward and crush the child
against the dashboard. If you are
wearing a seat belt, the child can
be torn f rom your arms and be
seriously hurt or killed.
Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child. During a crash, the
belt could press deep into the child
and cause serious or fatal injuries.
Never let two children use the
same seat belt. If they do, they
could be very seriously injured in a
crash.Keep vehicle keys and remote
transmitters out of reach of
children. Even very young
children learn how to unlock
vehicle doors, turn on the ignition,
and open the hatch, which can
lead to accidental injury or death.
Do not leave children alone in a
vehicle. Leaving children without
adult supervision is illegal in most
states and Canadian provinces,
and can be very hazardous.
Lock both doors and the hatch
when your vehicle is not in use.
Children who play in vehicles can
accidentally get trapped inside the
vehicle. Teach your children not to
play in or around vehicles. For example, a small child lef t in a
vehicle on a hot day can die f rom
heatstroke. A child lef t alone with
the key in the ignition can
accidentally set the vehicle in
motion, possibly injuring himself
or others.
