9. Before putting your child in the restraint, push and pull
the restraint in all directions to be sure it is firmly secured.
Do this before each use. If the child restraint system is not
firmly secure, repeat steps 1 through 8.
10. To remove a child restraint system from the vehicle and
deactivate the ALR mode, remove the child from the
restraint. Unlatch the buckle. Then remove the belt from
the restraint and let the belt fully retract.
Children who have outgrown child restraint sys-
tems
N00407600546
Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be
seated in the rear seat and wear the seat belt. If the shoulder
belt crosses their face or neck, and/or the lap belt crosses their
stomach, a commercially available booster seat (including a
booster cushion) must be used, to raise the child so that the
shoulder belt crosses their shoulder and the lap belt remains
positioned low across their hips. The booster seat (including a
booster cushion) should fit the vehicle seat and have a label
certifying compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cush-
ions Safety Regulations.
WA R N I N G
!

Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat
belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate
child restraint system, to reduce their risk of serious
injury or death in an accident.


A child should never be left unattended in, or unsu-
pervised, around your vehicle. When you leave the
vehicle always take the child out as well.


Children can die from heat stroke if left or trapped
inside the vehicle, especially on hot days.


Keep your vehicle locked and the trunk lid closed
when not in use. Keep your vehicle keys away from
children.


Never allow children to play in the trunk of your
vehicle.

!

Do not attach anything to the steering wheel’s pad-
ded cover, such as trim material, badges, etc. These
could strike and injure an occupant if the airbag
inflates.


Do not set anything on, or attach anything to, the
instrument panel above the glove compartment.
Such items could strike and injure an occupant if the
airbag inflates.
WA R N I N G
!

Do not attach accessories to, or put them in front of,
the windshield. They could restrict the airbag infla-
tion, or strike and injure an occupant, when the air-
bag inflates.


Do not attach additional keys or accessories (hard,
pointed or heavy objects) to the ignition key. Such
objects could prevent the driver’s knee airbag from
inflating normally or could be propelled to cause
serious injury if the airbag inflates.


Do not attach accessories to the lower portion of the
driver’s side instrument panel. Such objects could
prevent the driver’s knee airbag from inflating nor-
mally or could be propelled to cause serious injury if
the airbag inflates.

For future performance and economy of your vehicle, we rec-
ommend that you carry out the following precautions.

Avoid revving the engine. Do not exceed 5,000 rpm for
the first 600 miles (1,000 km).


Avoid rough driving such as fast starts, prolonged high-
speed driving and rough shifting for the first 300 miles
(500 km).


The high-performance brake pads on your vehicle require
a short break-in period. Avoid hard braking for the first
300 miles (500 km) to prevent future abnormal brake
noise and vibration from your vehicle’s brake pads.


The standard-equipment tires use a high-grip compound.
Thus drive with extra care for the first 200 miles (300
km).


Do not overload the vehicle. Observe the seating capacity
(See “Cargo loads precautions” on page 4-12).


Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.
