the position best suited for you. To adjust the anchor
height, push the release button and slide the anchor

shoulder portion of the webbing does not pass
over your neck. If it does, adjust the seatbelt an-
chor to a lower position. Placing the shoulder
belt over the neck may result in neck injury dur-
ing sudden braking or in a collision.

The valet key fits only the ignition switch and driver’s
door lock. You can keep the trunk and glove box
locked when you leave your vehicle and valet key at a
parking facility.
Do not attach a large key holder or key case to
either key. If it banged against your knees while
you were driving, it could turn the ignition switch from the ON position to the ACC or OFF
position, thereby stopping the engine.

tached to the key set. Write down the key number and
keep it in another safe place, not in the vehicle. This
number is needed to make a replacement key if you
lose your key or lock it inside the vehicle.

child restraints, locking the doors reduces the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in an
accident.

out if a door is accidentally opened, and intrud-
ers from unexpectedly opening doors and en-
tering your vehicle.
