Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides
Rear shoulder belt comfort guides may provide
added safety belt comfort for older children
who have outgrown booster seats and for some
adults. When installed on a shoulder belt, the
comfort guide positions the belt away from
the neck and head.There is one guide for each outside passenger
position in the second row seat and the third row,
if your vehicle has one. Here is how to install a
comfort guide and use the safety belt:
1. For the second row, remove the guide from its
storage clip on the interior body.

4. Buckle, position, and release the safety belt
as described inRear Seat Passengers on
page 53. Make sure that the shoulder
belt crosses the shoulder.
To remove and store the comfort guides, squeeze
the belt edges together so that you can take
them out of the guides. Slide the guide into its
storage pocket.
Safety Belt Pretensioners
Your vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for the
driver and right front passenger. Although you
cannot see them, they are located on the retractor
part of the safety belts. They help the safety
belts reduce a person’s forward movement in a
moderate to severe frontal, near frontal, rear
or side crash, or a rollover.
Pretensioners work only once. If they activate
in a crash, you will need to get new ones,
and probably other new parts for your safety belt
system. SeeReplacing Restraint System Parts
After a Crash on page 109.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you,
you should use it.
But if a safety belt is not long enough, your dealer
will order you an extender. When you go in to
order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so
the extender will be long enough for you. To
help avoid personal injury, do not let someone else
use it, and use it only for the seat it is made to
t. The extender has been designed for adults.
Never use it for securing child seats. To wear it,
just attach it to the regular safety belt. For
more information see the instruction sheet that
comes with the extender.

The recirculation mode cannot be selected while in
the defrost mode. The air conditioning compressor
will run automatically in this setting, unless the
outside temperature is close to freezing. Do not
drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
<(Rear Window Defogger):The rear window
defogger will turn off automatically after it has
been activated. The defogger can also be turned
off by pressing the button again or by turning
off the engine. Do not drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.
If your vehicle has heated outside rearview
mirrors, the mirrors will heat to help clear fog or
frost from the surface of the mirror when the
rear window defog button is pressed.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger grid lines
in the rear glass. These actions may damage
the rear defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the air outlets located in the center and on
the side of your instrument panel to direct
the airow.
Operation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice,
snow, or any other obstruction (such as
leaves). The heater and defroster will work far
better, reducing the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather,
press the fan up button to the maximum
fan level before driving. This helps clear the
intake ducts of snow and moisture, and
reduces the chance of fogging the inside of
your window.
Keep the air path under the front seats
clear of objects. This helps air to circulate
throughout your vehicle.
Adding outside equipment to the front of your
vehicle, such as hood-air deectors, may
affect the performance of the heating and air
conditioning system. Check with your dealer
before adding equipment to the outside of your
vehicle.
