Do not allow anyone to get his/her
head or hands out of windows
since the curtain shield airbags
could inflate with considerable
speed and force. Otherwise, he/she
may be killed or seriously injured.
Special care should be taken espe-
cially when you have a small child
in the vehicle.
CY13069
Do not attach a cup holder or any
other device or object on or around
the door. When the side airbag in-
flates, the cup holder or any other
device or object will be thrown with
great force or the side airbag may
not activate correctly, resulting in
death or serious injury. Likewise,
the driver and front passenger
should not hold objects in their
arms or on their knees.
CY13234
Do not attach a microphone or any
other device or object near the area
where the curtain shield airbags ac-
tivate such as on the windshield
glass, side door glass, front, center
and roof side garnish, roof interior
or assist grips. When the curtain
shield airbags inflate, the micro-
phone or other device or object will
be thrown away with great force or
the curtain shield airbags may not
activate correctly, resulting in death
or serious injury.

ADJUSTMENT OF TELESCOPIC
STEERING COLUMN
To change the steering wheel length,
push down the lock release lever, set
the steering wheel to the desired length
and return the lever to its original posi-
tion.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the steering wheel
while the vehicle is moving. Doing
so may cause the driver to mishan-
dle the vehicle and an accident may
occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.
After adjusting the steering wheel,
try moving it up and down or for-
ward and rearward to make sure it
is locked in position.
CY13009
Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the side of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
Be careful when judging the size or dis-
tance of any object seen in the outside
rear view mirror on the passenger ’s side
because it is a convex mirror. Any object
seen in a convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat
mirror.
On some models, when you push the
back window defogger switch, the heater
panels in the outside rear view mirrors will
quickly clear the surface. (See Back
window and outside rear view mirror
defoggers" on page 142 in Section 1−5.)

the band upward to increase the time be-
tween sweeps, and downward to decrease
it. To squirt washer fluid, pull the lever

For instructions on adding washer fluid,
see Adding washer fluid" on page 453 in
Section 7−3.
In freezing weather, warm the windshield
with the defroster before using the washer.
This will help prevent the washer fluid
from freezing on your windshield, which
can block your vision.

dow is fully closed after that, the defogger
will not automatically turn on.
Make sure you turn the defoggers off
when the surfaces are clear. Leaving the
defoggers on for a long time could cause
the battery to discharge, especially during
stop−and−go driving. The defoggers are
not designed for drying rain water or for
melting snow.

radio ID. You will need the radio ID when
activating XM
 service or when reporting
a problem.
If you select the CH 000" using the
TUNE" knob, the ID code of 8 alphanu-
meric characters appears. If you select
another channel, display of the ID code is
canceled. The channel (000) alternates the
display between the radio ID and the spe-
cific radio ID code.

Tone
How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of
the treble, midrange and bass levels. In
fact, different kinds of music and vocal
programs usually sound better with differ-
ent mixes of treble, midrange and bass. Balance
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound
levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to
a stereo recording or broadcast, changing
the right/left balance will increase the vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another.
YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
Your vehicle has an antenna printed on
the inside of the rear quarter window.
NOTICE
Putting a film (especially a conductive
or metallic film) on the rear quarter
window will noticeably reduce the
sensitivity of the radio.
