• Front air bags are not designed to
inflate in rear collisions, because occu-
pants are moved backward by the
force of the impact. In this case, inflat-
ed air bags would not be able to pro-
vide any additional benefit. • Front air bags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move to the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, front air bag
deployment would not provide addi-
tional occupant protection.
However, if equipped with side impact
or curtain air bags, the air bags may
inflate depending on the intensity, vehi-
cle speed and angles of impact.• In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would not
be able to provide any additional ben-
efit, and thus the sensors may not
deploy any air bags.

• Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers
the front portion of the vehicle causing
it to “ride” under a vehicle with a high-
er ground clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this "under-ride" situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be signifi-
cantly replaced by such “under-ride”
collisions.• Air bags may not inflate in rollover
accidents because air bag deployment
would not provide protection to the
occupants.
However, side impact and/or curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle is
rolled over by a side impact collision, if
the vehicle is equipped with side
impact and curtain air bags.• Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area and
the full force of the impact is not deliv-
ered to the sensors.

Automatic heating and air condi-
tioning
The automatic climate control system is
controlled by simply setting the desired
temperature.
The Full Automatic Temperature Control
(FATC) system automatically controls the
heating and cooling system as follows:
1. Press the AUTO button. The modes,
fan speeds, air intake and air-condi-
tioning will be controlled automatically
by setting the temperature.2. Set the temperature control knob to
the desired temperature.
If the temperature is set to the lowest
setting (Lo), the air conditioning sys-
tem will operate continuously.
3. To turn the automatic operation off,
select any button or knob of the fol-
lowing:
• Mode selection button
• Air conditioning button
• Front windshield defroster button
• Air intake control button
• Fan speed control knob
The selected function will be controlled
manually while other functions operate
automatically.
For your convenience and to improve the
effectiveness of the climate control, use
the AUTO button and set the tempera-
ture to 23°C (73°F).
Regardless of the temperature setting,
when using automatic operation, the air
conditioning system can automatically
turn on to decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle, even if the temperature is set
to warm.
✽NOTICE
Never place anything over the sensor
located on the instrument panel to
ensure better control of the heating and
cooling system.
