A forward-facing child seat (C-E) provides restraint
for the child’s body with the harness and also
sometimes with surfaces such as T-shaped
or shelf-like shields.A booster seat (F-G) is a child restraint designed
to improve the t of the vehicle’s safety belt
system. Some booster seats have a shoulder belt
positioner, and some high-back booster seats
have a ve-point harness. A booster seat can also
help a child to see out the window.

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.

{CAUTION:
Leaving children unattended in a vehicle
is dangerous, but it is even more
dangerous if the keyless access
transmitter is also left in the vehicle. A
child or others could be badly injured or
even killed.
They could operate the power windows or
other controls or even make the vehicle
move. If they started the engine and
moved the shift lever out of PARK (P),
that would release the parking brake.
Do not leave the keyless access
transmitter in a vehicle with children.

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.
74

If you are outside the vehicle, there is a door
release tab in the trunk. The tab is located behind
a panel on the driver’s side of the trunk. Pull
the handle to unlock and unlatch the driver’s door.
SeeTrunk on page 77for information on
opening the trunk during a loss of power.
Power Door Locks
The power door lock
switches are located on
the door panels near
the windows.
K(Unlock):Press this portion of the button to
unlock the doors.
Q(Lock):Press this portion of the button to lock
the doors.
There is an indicator light on the rear of the door
near the window.
When the lock portion of the button is pressed and
the door is closed, a beep will sound and the
light will come on for a few seconds, then turn off.
If the button is pressed and the door is open, a
beep will sound and the light will stay on
continuously.
75

Lockout Protection
Your vehicle can be programmed to sound the
horn three times and unlock the driver’s door when
both doors are closed and there is a keyless
access transmitter inside the vehicle. When the
driver’s door is opened, a reminder chime will
sound continuously. The vehicle will remain locked
only when at least one transmitter has been
removed from the vehicle and both doors are
closed. SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization on
page 220.
Trunk
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the
trunk lid open because carbon monoxide
(CO) gas can come into your vehicle. You
cannot see or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death. If you
must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the trunk lid:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or
cooling system to its highest speed
and select the control setting that will
force outside air into your vehicle. See
Climate Control System.
If you have air outlets on or under
the instrument panel, open them all
the way.
SeeEngine Exhaust on page 102.
