Q:If I am a good driver, and I never drive far
from home, why should I wear safety
belts?
A:You may be an excellent driver, but if you are
in an accident — even one that is not your
fault — you and your passenger can be hurt.
Being a good driver does not protect you
from things beyond your control, such as bad
drivers.
Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 km)
of home. And the greatest number of
serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of
less than 40 mph (65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know
about safety belts and children. And there
are different rules for smaller children and babies.
If a child will be riding in your vehicle, see
Older Children on page 28orInfants and Young
Children on page 31. Follow those rules for
everyone’s protection.
First, you will want to know which restraint
systems your vehicle has.
We will start with the driver position.
Driver Position
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how to
wear it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight. To
see how, see “Seats” in the Index.

What Will You See After an Airbag
Inates?
After an airbag inates, it quickly deates, so
quickly that some people may not even realize the
airbag inated. Some components of the airbag
module — the steering wheel hub for the driver’s
frontal airbag, the instrument panel for the
right front passenger’s frontal airbag, and for
seating positions with side impact airbags, the side
of the seatback closest to the door — may be
hot for a short time. The parts of the airbag that
come into contact with you may be warm, but
not too hot to touch. There may be some smoke
and dust coming from the vents in the deated
airbags. Airbag ination does not prevent the driver
from seeing out of the windshield or being able
to steer the vehicle, nor does it prevent people
from leaving the vehicle.
{CAUTION:
When an airbag inates, there may be
dust in the air. This dust could cause
breathing problems for people with a
history of asthma or other breathing
trouble. To avoid this, everyone in the
vehicle should get out as soon as it is
safe to do so. If you have breathing
problems but cannot get out of the vehicle
after an airbag inates, then get fresh air
by opening a window or a door. If you
experience breathing problems following
an airbag deployment, you should seek
medical attention.
Your vehicle has a feature that may automatically
unlock the doors, turn the interior lamps on,
and turn on the hazard warning ashers when the
airbags inate. You can lock the doors, turn the
interior lamps off, and turn the hazard warning
ashers off by using the controls for those
features.

If you ever notice a decrease in the keyless
access transmitter range, try doing one of the
following:
Check the distance. You may be too far from
your vehicle. You may need to stand closer
during rainy or snowy weather.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects
may be blocking the signal. Take a few steps
to the left or right, hold the transmitter
higher, and try again.
Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See “Battery Replacement”
underKeyless Access System Operation on
page 68.
Check to make sure that an electronic device
such as a cellular phone or lap top computer
is not causing interference.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer
or a qualied technician for service.
Keyless Access System Operation
Your vehicle has a Keyless Access System
that allows you to lock and unlock your doors,
unlock your trunk lid and disarm or arm your
theft-deterrent system. The range distance is as
much as 100 feet (30 m) away.
Your vehicle comes with
two transmitters, and up
to four can be matched
to your vehicle. See
“Matching Transmitter(s)
to Your Vehicle” later
in this section.
Q(Lock):Press this button to lock the doors.
The indicator light on the door will ash once.
If this button is pressed twice, the doors will
lock, the light will ash once and the horn will
sound once.
68

K(Unlock):Press this button once to unlock the
driver’s door. The indicator light on the door
will ash twice. Press the button twice within
10 seconds to unlock both doors. If it is dark
enough outside, your interior lamps will come on.
Your memory settings may also be recalled when
you press the unlock button on the keyless access
transmitter. SeeMemory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheel on page 10for more information.
G(Trunk):Press and hold this button for
about one second to open the trunk while
the engine is turned off or the shift lever is in
PARK (P).
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each keyless access transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from working with your
vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased through your
dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer.
Once your dealer has coded the new transmitter,
the lost transmitter will not work with your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
To match a new transmitter to your vehicle when
you have a recognized transmitter, do the
following:
1. The vehicle must be off.
2. Have the recognized and new, unrecognized
transmitters on your person.
3. Go to the rear of the vehicle and insert the
vehicle key into the key cylinder located on
the lower rear fascia on the driver’s side of the
vehicle. SeeTrunk on page 77for more
information on the key cylinder.
4. Open the trunk.

Doors and Locks
Door Locks
{CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers — especially
children — can easily open the doors
and fall out of a moving vehicle. When
a door is locked it will not open. You
increase the chance of being thrown
out of the vehicle in a crash if the
doors are not locked. So, wear safety
belts properly and lock the doors
whenever you drive.
Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A
child can be overcome by extreme
heat and can suffer permanent injuries
or even death from heat stroke.
Always lock your vehicle whenever
you leave it.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)

Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down
or stop your vehicle. Locking your
doors can help prevent this from
happening.
To lock or unlock your vehicle from the outside,
use the keyless access transmitter and press
the appropriate lock or unlock button. You may
also unlock and open the door passively when you
squeeze the door handle sensor, as long as you
have your transmitter with you. Passive entry
occurs when the door handle sensor is pressed
and the vehicle recognizes your keyless
access transmitter. When the passenger door is
opened rst, the driver’s door will also become
unlocked.
73

From the inside, use the power door lock buttons
located at the top of the door panel near the
window. SeePower Door Locks on page 75for
more information.
To open a door from the inside, press the button in
front of the door handle and push the door open.
If power to the vehicle or the keyless access
transmitter is lost, there are two ways to open
the door.If you are inside the vehicle, use the door release
handle located on the oor next to each seat.
Pull the handle up to unlock and unlatch the door.
