To change the old transmitter codes in
your vehicle’s memory
If you have lost one of the transmitters, you
should change the transmitter codes in
your vehicle’s memory as soon as possible
for security.
To remove one of the transmitter codes
from your vehicle’s memory, first replace all
three of the transmitter codes in your vehi-
cle’s memory, then program additional
transmitters as follows:
1) Program one of your transmitters four
times, by repeating the programming
procedure shown in this section. This
will replace all the old transmitter codes
in the vehicle’s memory with the code
for the transmitter you are using.
2) If you want to program up to two addi-
tional transmitters, repeat the program-
ming procedure shown in this section.
3) Make sure that the keyless entry sys-
tem operates properly by operating
each transmitter.1. For USA

Child Lock System (rear side doors)
54G574
Each of the rear side doors is equipped
with a child lock which can be used to help
prevent unwanted opening of the door from
inside the vehicle. When the lock lever is in
the “LOCK” position (1), the rear side door
can only be opened from outside. When
the lock lever is in the “UNLOCK” position
(2), the rear side door can be opened from
inside or outside.
WARNING
Be sure to place the child lock in the
“LOCK” position whenever children
are seated in the rear.

Trunk Lid

54G495
To unlock the lid, insert the key and turn it
clockwise. You can also unlock the lid by
pulling the release lever (if equipped)located to the outboard side of the driver’s
seat.
To lock the lid, lower the lid and press
down on it. The lid is locked automatically.
Internal Trunk Release
54G297
There is a release lever located inside the
trunk, on the rear part of the trunk lid. This
lever is for emergency use so that if a per-
son, such as a child, gets trapped in the
trunk compartment, he can exit the vehicle.
The lever glows in the dark, after a brief
exposure to ambient light, so it can be
found easily. It is operated by pushing it
down in the direction of the arrow.
EXAMPLE
WARNING
Always make sure that the trunk lid is
closed and latched securely. Other-
wise, it may open unexpectedly while
driving. Also completely closing it
helps keep exhaust gases from enter-
ing the car.
CAUTION
Do not use the key to lift up the trunk
lid, or the key may break off in the
lock.
WARNING
To help avoid situations where some-
one might get trapped in the trunk,
keep your vehicle locked when unat-
tended, and do not allow anyone to
play in the trunk.EXAMPLE

To raise the head restraint, pull upward on
the restraint until it clicks. To lower the
restraint, push down on the restraint while
holding in the release knob. If a head
restraint must be removed (for cleaning,
replacement, etc.), push in the release
knob and pull the head restraint all the way
out.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to recline the seat-
back to provide enough overhead clear-
ance to remove the head restraint.
Seat Belts and Child Restraint
Systems

EXAMPLE
WARNING
An air bag supplements, or adds to,
the frontal crash protection offered
by seat belts. The driver and all pas-
sengers must be properly restrained
by wearing seat belts at all times,
whether or not an air bag is mounted
at their seating position, to minimize
the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash.EXAMPLE
Rear
Front
WARNING
Never allow persons to ride in the
cargo area of a vehicle. In the event
of an accident, there is a much
greater risk of injury for persons
who are not riding in a seat with
their seat belt securely fastened.
Seat belts should always be
adjusted as follows:
– the lap portion of the belt should
be worn low across the pelvis,
not across the waist.
– the shoulder straps should be
worn on the outside shoulder
only, and never under the arm.
– the shoulder straps should be
away from your face and neck,
but not falling off your shoulder.

WARNING
(Continued)
Shoulder straps should be worn on
the outside shoulder only, and
never under the arm.
Seat belts should never be worn
with the straps twisted and should
be adjusted as tightly as is com-
fortable to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will provide less pro-
tection than one which is snug.

Across the pelvis
WARNING
(Continued)
Pregnant women should use seat
belts, although specific recommen-
dations about driving should be
made by the woman’s medical advi-
sor. Remember that the lap portion
of the belt should be worn as low
as possible across the hips, as
shown in the diagram.
Make sure that each seat belt
buckle is inserted into the proper
buckle catch. It is possible to cross
the buckles in the rear seat.
(Continued)
as low as possible
across the hips
WARNING
(Continued)
Do not wear your seat belt over
hard or breakable objects in your
pockets or on your clothing. If an
accident occurs, objects such as
glasses, pens, etc. under the seat
belt can cause injury.
Never use the same seat belt on
more than one occupant and never
attach a seat belt over an infant or
child being held on an occupant’s
lap. Such seat belt use could cause
serious injury in the event of an
accident.
Periodically inspect seat belt
assemblies for excessive wear and
damage. Seat belts should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated, or damaged
in any way. It is essential to replace
the entire seat belt assembly after it
has been worn in a severe impact,
even if damage to the assembly is
not obvious.
Children age 12 and under should
ride properly restrained in the rear
seat, if equipped.

Lap-Shoulder BeltEmergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
The seat belt has an emergency locking
retractor (ELR), which is designed to lock
the seat belt only during a sudden stop or
impact. It also may lock if you pull the belt
across your body very quickly. If this hap-
pens, let the belt go back to unlock it, then
pull the belt across your body more slowly.
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
The front passenger’s seat belt and the
rear seat belts have emergency locking
retractors (ELRs) that can be temporarily
converted to function as automatic locking
retractors (ALRs). The ALR mode should
be used if you need to secure a child
restraint system in the seat. Refer to the
“Child Restraint Systems” section for
details.Safety reminder
60A038
60A040
To reduce the risk of sliding under the belt
during a collision, position the lap portion
of the belt across your lap as low on your
hips as possible and adjust it to a snug fit
WARNING
(Continued)
Infants and small children should
never be transported unless they
are properly restrained. Restraint
systems for infants and small chil-
dren can be purchased commer-
cially and should be used. Make
sure that the system you purchase
meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards. Read and follow all the
directions provided by the manu-
facturer.
Avoid contamination of seat belt
webbing by polishes, oils, chemi-
cals and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water.
For children, if the shoulder belt
irritates the neck or face, move the
child closer to the center of the
vehicle.
All seatbacks should always be in
an upright position when driving,
or seat belt effectiveness may be
reduced. Seat belts are designed to
offer maximum protection when
seatbacks are in the upright posi-
tion.

Rear Center Seat Belt
54G356
The rear center seat belt is a “Lap-shoul-
der belt” with a buckle, a latch plate and a
detachable connector. The buckle is
marked as “CENTER” for distinction from
the rear left seat belt buckle. The rear cen-
ter seat belt buckle and the connector are
designed so as not to allow a wrong latch
plate to be inserted.
When the rear seatback is in upright posi-
tion, keep the detachable connector
latched. Only when the rear seatback will
be folded down, unlatch the detachable
connector. To latch and unlatch the con-
nector, see “Unlatching and Latching
Detachable Connector” later in this sec-
tion.Fastening

Before fastening the rear center belt, make
sure the detachable connector (1) is
securely latched and the webbing is not
twisted.
To fasten the belt, sit up straight and well
back in the seat, pull the latch plate (A)
across your body and press it into the
buckle (B) until you hear a “click”.Unfastening
