Your f ront airbags are also dual-
threshold airbags. Airbags with this
f eature have two deployment
thresholds that depend on whether
or not the occupant is wearing a seat
belt.
If the occupant’s belt is,
the airbag will deploy at a slightly
lower threshold, because the
occupant would need extra
protection.
If the occupant’s belt is , the
airbag will inf late at a slightly higher
threshold, when the airbag would be
needed to supplement the protection
provided by the seat belt.
Your f ront airbags are dual-stage
airbags. This means they have two
inf lation stages that can be ignited
sequentially or simultaneously,
depending on crash severity.
In a
crash, both stages
will ignite simultaneously to provide
the quickest and greatest protection.
In a crash, one stage will
ignite first, then the second stage
will ignite a split second later. This
provides longer airbag inf lation time
with a little less force.
After a crash, you may see what
looks like smoke. This is actually
powder f rom the airbag’s surf ace.
Although the powder is not harmf ul,
people with respiratory problems
mayexperiencesometemporary
discomf ort. If this occurs, get out of
the vehicle as soon as it is saf e to do
so.

The left or right turn signal indicator
blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If the indicato rs do not blink,
or if they blink rapidly, it usu ally
means one of the turn signal bulbs is
burned out (see pages and ).
Replace the bulb as soon as possible,
since other drivers cannot see that
you are signaling.
WhenyouturnontheHazard
Warning button, both turn signal
indicators blink. All turn signals on
the outside of the vehicle should
flash. This indicator reminds you that the
exterior lights are on. It comes on
when the light switch is in either the
or position. If you turn the
ignition switch to the ACCESSORY
(I) or the LOCK (0) position without
turning of f the light switch, this
indicator will remain on. A reminder
chime will also sound when you open
the driver’s door.
This indicator is located in the f uel
gauge. It comes on as a reminder
that you must ref uel soon.
When the indicator comes on, there
are about 2.72 U.S. gal (10.3
)of
f uel remaining in the tank bef ore the
needle reaches E. There is a small
reserve of f uel remaining in the tank
when the needle does reach E.

This shows how much fuel you have.
It may show slightly more or less
th an the actual amount. The needle
returns to the bottom after you turn
off the ignition. If
your fuel cap is loose or missing, a
‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’ message will
appear in the odometer/outside
temperature display. As soon as it is
safely possible, turn the engine off
and check that the fuel cap is
installed. If it is, loosen the cap and
tighten it 1 click. Although you can
use the Select/Reset button to cycle the fuel cap warning off of the display, it will be displayed again each time the engine is started. It
will take several da ys of normal
driving for the vehicle to turn the
warning off.
If the vehicle on board diagnostic
system continues to detect a
problem, the Mal function Indicator
Lamp (MIL) will illuminate. If the
MIL does not go off, have your
de aler inspect the vehicle. For more
info rmation, see page . The
information display in the
instrument panel shows you the
engine oil life and maintenance
service items when the ignition
switch is in the ON (II) position. This
information helps to keep you aware
of the periodic maintenance your
vehicle needs for continued trouble-
f ree driving. Ref er to page f or
more information. 193
