Your vehicle is equipped with seat
belts in both seating positions.Keep you f rom being thrown out
of the vehicle.
Help keep you in a good position
should the airbags ever deploy. A
good position reduces the risk of
injury f rom an inf lating airbag and
allows you to get the best
advantage f rom the airbag.
Of course, seat belts cannot
completely protect you in every
crash.Butinmostcases,seatbelts
can reduce your risk of serious
injury.
Seat belts have proven to be the
singlemosteffectivesafetydevice
f or adults and larger children.
Not wearing a seat belt properly
increases the chance of serious
injury or death in a crash, even
though your vehicle has airbags.
In addition, most states and all
Canadian provinces require you to
wear seat belts. When properly worn, seat belts:
Keep you connected to the vehicle
so you can take advantage of the
vehicle’s built-in saf ety f eatures.
Help protect you in almost every
type of crash, including f rontal,
side, and rear impacts and
rollovers. Always wear
your seat belt, and make sure you
wear it properly. Help keep you f rom being thrown
against the inside of the vehicle
and against a passenger.
Your seat belt system also includes
an indicator on the instrument panel
and a beeper to remind you and your
passengers to f asten your seat belts.

What you should do:

Not wearing a seat belt properly
increases the chance of serious
injury or death in a crash, even
though your vehicle has airbags.
Be sure you and your
passenger always wear seat
belts and wear them properly.

µAdjust the driver’s seat as far to the
rear as possible while allowing you to
maintain full control of the vehicl e.
Have a passenger adjust his or her
seat as far to the rear as possible.
Lo
cking the doors reduces the
ch ance of someone being thro wn out
of the vehicle during a crash, and it
helps prevent a passenger from
accidentally opening a door and
falling out.
Lo cking the doors also helps prevent
an outsider from unexp ectedly
opening a door when you come to a
stop.
See page for how to lock the
doors, and page for how the door-
open indicator works.
If you sit too close to the steering
wh eel or dashboard, you can be
seriously injured by an inflating front
ai rbag, or by striking the steering
wh eel or dashboard.
The
following pages pro vide
instru ctions on how to properly
protect the driver, an adult
passenger or teenage child large
enough and mature enough to drive
or ride in your vehicle. See pages f or important guidelines on
how to properly protect a child in a
forward-facing child seat or a larger
child passenger.
Your vehicle has door and trunk
monitor indicators on the instrument
panel to indicate when either door or
the trunk is not tightly closed. After everyone has entered the
vehicle, be sure the doors are closed
and locked. 40

Your seat belt system includes lap/
shoulder belts in both seating
positions. The seat belts are also
equipped with automatic seat belt
tensioners.
This system uses the same sensors
as the front airbags to monitor
whether the seat belts are latched or
unlatch ed, and how much weight is
on the passenger’s seat (see page ).
The seat belt system
includes an indicator on the
instrument panel and a beeper to
remind you and your passenger to
f asten your seat belts.
This system monitors the seat belts.
If you turn the ignition switch to the
ON (II) position bef ore your seat
belt is f astened, the beeper will
sound and the indicator will f lash. If
your seat belt is not f astened bef ore the beeper stops, the indicator will
stop f lashing but remain on.
If a passenger does not f asten their
seat belt, the indicator will come on
about 6 seconds af ter the ignition
switch is turned to the ON (II)
position.
If eitherthedriverorpassengerdoes
not f asten their seat belt, the beeper
will sound and the indicator will f lash
again at regular intervals.
When no one is sitting in the
passenger’s seat, or a child or small
adult is riding there, the indicator
should not come on and the beeper
should not sound.
If the indicator comes on or the
beeper sounds when the driver’s seat
belt is latched and there is no
passenger and no items on the
passenger’s seat, something may be
interf ering with the monitoring
system. Look f or and remove:
If no obstructions are found, have
your vehicle checked by a dealer.
Any object touching the rear of
the seat-back. Any objects hanging on the seat.
Any items under the passenger’s
seat.

(see page ).

moderate to severe front impact.
Sensors that can detect whether
the driver’s seat belt and the
passenger’s seat belt are latched
or unlatch ed (see page ). A
sophisticated electronic system
that continually monitors and
reco rds information about the
sensors, the control unit, the
airbag activators, the seat belt
tensioners, and driver and
passenger seat belt use when the
ignition switch is in the ON (II)
position.
An indicator on the instrument
panel that alerts you to a possible
problem with your airbags,
sensors, or seat belt tensioners
(see page ).
A
driver’s seat position sensor that
monitors the distance of the seat
from the airbag. If the seat is too
far forward, the airbag will inflate
with less force (see page ). Weight
sensors that monitor the
weight on the passenger’s seat. If
the weight is about 65 lbs (29 kg)
or less (the weight of an infant or
small child), the passenger’s
airbag will be turned off (see page
).
Two SRS (supplemental restraint
system) airbags. The driver’s
