Child Restraints
Older Children
Older children who have outgrown
booster seats should wear the
vehicle’s safety belts.The manufacturer’s instructions that
come with the booster seat, state
the weight and height limitations for
that booster. Use a booster seat
with a lap-shoulder belt until
the child passes the below t test:
Sit all the way back on the
seat. Do the knees bend at the
seat edge? If yes, continue.
If no, return to the booster seat.
Buckle the lap-shoulder
belt. Does the shoulder belt rest
on the shoulder? If yes,
continue. If no, try using the rear
safety belt comfort guide. See
“Rear Safety Belt Comfort
Guides” underLap-Shoulder Belt
on page 1-20for more
information. If the shoulder belt
still does not rest on the shoulder,
then return to the booster seat.
Does the lap belt t low and
snug on the hips, touching
the thighs? If yes, continue. If no,
return to the booster seat.
Can proper safety belt t be
maintained for the length of
the trip? If yes, continue. If no,
return to the booster seat.

4. Before starting the engine, be
sure to unplug and store the
cord as it was before to keep it
away from moving engine
parts. If you do not, it could be
damaged.
The length of time the heater should
remain plugged in depends on
several factors. Ask a dealer/retailer
in the area where you will be
parking the vehicle for the best
advice on this.Automatic Transmission
Operation
The automatic transmission has a
shift lever located on the console
between the seats.
P (Park):This position locks the
front wheels. It is the best position
to use when starting the engine
because the vehicle cannot
move easily.
{CAUTION
It is dangerous to get out of the
vehicle if the shift lever is not fully
in P (Park) with the parking brake
rmly set. The vehicle can roll.
Do not leave the vehicle when the
engine is running unless you have
to. If you have left the engine
running, the vehicle can move
suddenly. You or others could be
injured. To be sure the vehicle will
not move, even when you are on
fairly level ground, always set the
parking brake and move the shift
lever to P (Park). SeeShifting Into
Park on page 2-28. If you are
pulling a trailer, seeTowing a
Trailer on page 4-24.
Make sure the shift lever is fully in
P (Park) before starting the engine.
The vehicle has an automatic
transmission shift lock control
system. You must fully apply the
regular brake rst and then press the
2-24 Features and Controls

The CD player is able to read
and play a maximum of
50 folders, 15 playlists, and a
combined total of 512 folders
and les.
Create a folder structure that
makes it easy to nd songs while
driving. Organize songs by
albums using one folder for each
album. Each folder or album
should contain 18 songs or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system can
support up to eight subfolders
deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in
order to reduce the complexity
and confusion in trying to locate a
particular folder during playback.
Make sure playlists have a .mp3
or .wpl extension (other le
extensions might not work).
Minimize the length of the le,
folder, or playlist names. Long le,
folder, or playlist names, or a
combination of a large number of
les and folders, or playlists could
cause the player to be unable toplay up to the maximum number
of les, folders, playlists, or
sessions. To play a large number
of les, folders, playlists or
sessions, minimize the length of
the le, folder, or playlist name.
Long names also take up more
space on the display, potentially
getting cut off.
Finalize the audio disc before
burning it. Trying to add music to
an existing disc could cause the
disc not to function in the player.
Change playlists by using
Sc
andcTfolder buttons, the
fknob, or the SEEK arrows. An
MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW
that was recorded using no le
folders can be played. If a CD-R or
CD-RW contains more than the
maximum of 50 folders, 15 playlists,
and a combined total of 512 folders
and les, the player accesses
and navigates up to the maximum,
but all items over the maximum
are not accessible.Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or
CD-RW is treated as a folder. If the
root directory has compressed
audio les, the directory displays as
the CD label. All les contained
directly under the root directory
are accessed prior to any root
directory folders. However, playlists
(Px) are always accessed before
root folders or les.
If a disc contains both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA)
and MP3/WMA les, a folder under
the root directory called CD
accesses all of the CD audio tracks
on the disc.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists
somewhere in the le structure
that contains only folders/subfolders
and no compressed les directly
beneath them, the player advances
to the next folder in the le
structure that contains compressed
audio les. The empty folder
does not display.

Make sure playlists have
a .m3u, .wpl or .pls extension
as other le extensions might
not work.
Minimize the length of the le,

The root directory of the CD-R or
CD-RW disc is treated as a folder. If
the root directory has compressed
audio les, the directory is displayed
as F1 ROOT. All les contained
directly under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory
folders. However, playlists (Px) are
always accessed before root folders
or les.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists
somewhere in the le structure
that contains only folders/subfolders
and no compressed les directly
beneath them, the player advances
to the next folder in the le
structure that contains compressed
audio les. The empty folder
does not display.No Folder
When the CD-R or CD-RW disc
contains only compressed les, the
les are located under the root
folder. The next and previous folder
function does not function on a
CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded
without folders or playlists. When
displaying the name of the folder the
radio displays ROOT.
When the CD-R or CD-RW disc
contains only playlists and
compressed audio les, but no
folders, all les are located under
the root folder. The folder down and
the folder up buttons search
playlists (Px) rst and then goes to
the root folder. When the radio
displays the name of the folder the
radio displays ROOT.
