Installation with child restraint lower
anchorages

The lower anchorages for the child restraint system
interfaced with the FMVSS225 specification are installed
in the rear seat.
The anchorages are installed in the gap at the lower seatback
of both outboard rear seats.

specification can be fixed with these anchorages. In this case,
it is not necessary to fix the child restraint system with a seat
belt on the vehicle. CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM INSTALLATION

CAUTION
When using the lower anchorages for the child
restraint system, be sure that there are no irregular
objects around the anchorages or that the seat belt is
not caught.
 Push and pull the child restraint system in different
directions to be sure it is secure. Follow all the
installation instructions provided by its
manufacturer.
 Do not install a child restraint system on the rear seat
if it interferes with the lock mechanism of the front
seats. This can cause death or serious injury to the
child and front passenger in case of sudden braking
or a collision.
DRIVING POSITION MEMORY
SYSTEM
The microcomputer can memorize the positions of the driver's
seat. Two different driving position profiles can be entered into
the computer's memory.
Automatic transmission: Recording a driving position in the
computer's memory can only be done when the ignition key is
in the ªONº position and the selector lever is in the ªPº posi\
tion.
Manual transmission: Recording a driving position in the
computer's memory can only be done when the ignition key is
in the ªONº position and the parking brake is applied.

To allow proper operation of your vehicle's
ventilation system, keep the inlet grilles in front of the
windshield clear of snow, leaves, or other
obstructions.

the windows open and the trunk lid or back door
closed. Have the cause immediately located and
corrected.BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

2. Adjust seat position, seatback angle, head restraint height
and steering wheel angle.
3. Adjust the inside and outside rear view mirrors.

DRIVING TIPS
276
Never allow anyone to ride in the trunk or
luggage compartment. It is not designed for
passengers. They should ride in their seats with
their seat belts properly fastened. Otherwise,
they are much more likely to suffer serious
bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking or
a collision.
 Do not place anything on the package tray
behind the rear seatback or luggage cover.
Such items may be thrown about and possibly
injure people in the vehicle during sudden
braking or an accident.
 Do not drive with objects left on top of the
instrument panel. They may interfere with the
driver's field of view. Or they may move during
sharp vehicle acceleration or turning, and
impair the driver's control of the vehicle. In an
accident t hey may injure the vehicle occupants.Capacity and distribution
Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the
occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capacity) ± (Total weight
of occupants)
Steps for determining correct load limit
1. Locate the statement ªThe combined weight of
occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX poundsº
on your vehicle's placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and
passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and
passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of
cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the
ªXXXº amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150
lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. 1400 ± 750
(5 x 150) = 650 lbs.
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.
