Safety system of your vehicle
Additional safety precautions Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area or on top of a folded-
down back seat. All occupants should
sit upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on the
floor.
Passengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle is
moving. A passenger who is not wear-
ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-
gency stop can be thrown against the
inside of the vehicle, against other
occupants, or out of the vehicle.
Each seat belt is designed torestrain one occupant. If more than
one person uses the same seat belt,
they could be seriously injured or killedin a collision.
Do not use any accessories on seatbelts. Devices claiming to improve
occupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection provided
by the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
Passengers should not place hardor sharp objects between them-
selves and the air bags. Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap or in
your mouth can result in injuries if an
air bag inflates.
Keep occupants away from the air
bag covers. All occupants should sit
upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on the
floor. If occupants are too close to the
air bag covers, they could be injured if
the air bags inflate.
Do not attach or place objects on or
near the air bag covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the front or
side air bag covers could interfere with
the proper operation of the air bags.
Do not modify the front seats.Modification of the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the sup-
plemental restraint system sensing
components or side air bags.
Do not place items under the frontseats. Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the operation
of the supplemental restraint system
sensing components and wiring har-
nesses.
Never hold an infant or child on yourlap. The infant or child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in the event of a
crash. All infants and children should
be properly restrained in appropriate
child safety seats or seat belts in therear seat. Adding equipment to or modify-
ing your air bag-equipped vehicle
If you modify your vehicle by changing
your vehicle's frame, bumper system,
front end or side sheet metal or ride
height, this may affect the operation of
your vehicle's air bag system.
WARNING
Sitting improperly or out of posi- tion can cause occupants to be
shifted too close to a deploying
air bag, strike the interior struc-
ture or be thrown from the vehicle
resulting in serious injury ordeath.
Always sit upright with the seat- back in an upright position, cen-tred on the seat cushion with
your seat belt on, legs comfort-
ably extended and your feet on
the floor.

Antenna
Manual antenna (if equipped)
Your car uses a manual stainless steel
antenna to receive both AM and FM
broadcast signals. Pull up the antenna
using your fingers, as shown in the draw-ing.
✽✽
NOTICE
Before entering an automatic car wash
or a place with a low height clearance,
be sure that the antenna is fully retract-ed.
Glass antenna (if equipped)
When the radio power switch is turned on
while the ignition key is in either the ON
or ACC position, your car will receiveboth AM and FM broadcast signals
through the antenna in the rear window
glass.

CAUTION
• Do not clean the inside of the rear
window glass or quarter glasswith a cleaner or use a scraper to remove any foreign deposits as
this may cause damage to the antenna elements.
Avoid adding metallic coating such as Ni, Cd, and so on. Thesecan interfere with AM/FM recep-
tion.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) (if equipped) The ABS continuously senses the speed
of the wheels. If the wheels are going to
lock, the ABS system repeatedly modu-
lates the hydraulic brake pressure to the
wheels.
When you apply your brakes under con-
ditions which may lock the wheels, you
may hear a “tik-tik’’ sound from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensation
in the brake pedal. This is normal and it
means your ABS is active.
In order to obtain the maximum efficien-
cy from your ABS in an emergency situ-
ation, do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to pump
your brakes. Press your brake pedal as
hard as possible or as hard as the situa-
tion warrants and allow the ABS to con-
trol the force being delivered to the
brakes.
WARNING
ABS (ESP) will not prevent acci-
dents due to improper or danger-
ous driving manoeuvres. Even
though vehicle control is improved
during emergency braking, always
maintain a safe distance between
you and objects ahead. Vehicle
speeds should always be reduced
during extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars
equipped with an anti-lock braking
system (Electronic Stability
Program System) may be longer
than for those without it in the fol-
lowing road conditions.
During these conditions the vehicle should be driven at reducedspeeds:
Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.
With tyre chains installed.
On roads where the road surface is pitted or has different surface height.

(Continued)
The safety features of an ABS
(ESP) equipped vehicle should not
be tested by high speed driving or
cornering. This could endanger the
safety of yourself or others.

Maintenance
Compact spare tire replacement (if equipped)
A compact spare tire has a shorter tread
life than a regular size tire. Replace it
when you can see the tread wear indica-
tor bars on the tire. The replacementcompact spare tire should be the same
size and design tire as the one provided
with your new vehicle and should bemounted on the same compact spare tire
wheel. The compact spare tire is notdesigned to be mounted on a regular
size wheel, and the compact spare tire
wheel is not designed for mounting a reg-
ular size tire. Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for any
reason, make sure the new wheels are
equivalent to the original factory units in
diameter, rim width and offset. Tyre traction
Tyre traction can be reduced if you drive
on worn tyres, tyres that are improperly
inflated or on slippery road surfaces.
Tyres should be replaced when tread
wear indicators appear. To reduce the
possibility of losing control, slow down
whenever there is rain, snow or ice onthe road.
Tyre maintenance In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tyre
wear. If you find a tyre is worn unevenly,
have your dealer check the wheel align-ment.
When you have new tyres installed,
make sure they are balanced. This will
increase vehicle ride comfort and tyre
life. Additionally, a tyre should always be
rebalanced if it is removed from thewheel.
Tyre sidewall labeling
This information identifies and describes
the fundamental characteristics of the
tyre and also provides the tyre identifica-
tion number (TIN) for safety standard
certification. The TIN can be used toidentify the tyre in case of a recall.

H - Speed Rating Symbol. See the speed rating chart in this section for addi-
tional information. Wheel size designation
Wheels are also marked with important
information that you need if you ever
have to replace one. The following
explains what the letters and numbers in
the wheel size designation mean.
Example wheel size designation: 6.0JX16
6.0 - Rim width in inches. J - Rim contour designation.
16 - Rim diameter in inches.

The chart below lists many of the differ-
ent speed ratings currently being used
for passenger cars. The speed rating is
part of the tyre size designation on the
sidewall of the tyre. This symbol corre-
sponds to that tyre's designed maximum
