Seats and Restraints 3-45
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 fit 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”
under Lap-Shoulder Belt
on
page 3‑23for more information.
If the shoulder belt still does not
rest on the shoulder, then return
to the booster seat.
.Does the lap belt fit low and
snug on the hips, touching the
thighs? If yes, continue. If no,
return to the booster seat.
.Can proper safety belt fit be
maintained for the length of the
trip? If yes, continue. If no,
return to the booster seat.
Q: What is the proper way to wear safety belts?
A: An older child should wear a
lap-shoulder belt and get the
additional restraint a shoulder
belt can provide. The shoulder
belt should not cross the face or
neck. The lap belt should fit
snugly below the hips, just
touching the top of the thighs.
This applies belt force to the
child's pelvic bones in a crash.
It should never be worn over the
abdomen, which could cause
severe or even fatal internal
injuries in a crash. Also see
“Rear Safety Belt Comfort
Guides” underLap-Shoulder Belt
on
page 3‑23.
According to accident statistics,
children and infants are safer when
properly restrained in a child
restraint system or infant restraint
system secured in a rear seating
position.
In a crash, children who are not
buckled up can strike other people
who are buckled up, or can be
thrown out of the vehicle. Older
children need to use safety belts
properly.

7-26 Infotainment System
.Minimize the length of the file,
folder, or playlist names. Long
file, folder, or playlist names,
or a combination of a large
number of files, folders,
or playlists can cause the player
to be unable to play up to the
maximum number of files,
folders, playlists, or sessions.
.Finalize the audio disc before
burning it. Adding music to an
existing disc can cause the disc
not to function.
Playlists can be selected by using
the previous and next folder
buttons, the SEEK arrows, or the
\FWD orsREV buttons.
An MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW that
was recorded using no file folders
can also be played. If a CD-R or
CD-RW contains more than the
maximum of 50 folders and
playlists, and 255 files, the player
lets you access and navigate up to
the maximum, but all items over the
maximum are not accessible. The HDD Radio can support more
than 255 files on an MP3/WMA disc.
The HDD Radio does not support
playlists on a disc or USB storage
device.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or
CD-RW is treated as a folder. If the
root directory has compressed audio
files, the directory displays as
F1 DISC. All files contained directly
under the root directory are
accessed prior to any root directory
folders. Playlists (Px) are always
accessed after root folders or files.
The HDD Radio displays the root
directory of an MP3/WMA disc as
F1 MP3 and the root directory of a
USB storage device as F1 USB.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists
somewhere in the file structure that
contains empty folders and no
compressed files in them, the player
advances to the next folder in the
file structure that contains
compressed audio files.
No Folder
When the CD contains only
compressed files, the files are
located under the root folder. The
next and previous folder functions
do not display on a CD that was
recorded without folders or playlists.
The radio displays F1 DISC for the
root directory.
When the CD contains only playlists
and compressed audio files, but no
folders, all files are located under
the root folder. The folder down and
the folder up buttons search
playlists (Px) first and then go to the
root folder. The radio displays F1
DISC for the root directory.

8-2 Climate Controls
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):The system
automatically controls fan speed, air
delivery, and air conditioning in
order to heat or cool the vehicle to
the desired temperature. When the
indicator light is on, the system is in
full automatic operation. If the air
delivery mode or fan setting is
manually adjusted, the auto
indicator turns off and displays will
show the selected settings.
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting between
21°C (70°F) and 27°C (80°F).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting will not
cause the system to heat or cool
any faster.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold
weather, the system delays
turning on the fan until warm air
is available. The system starts
out blowing air at the floor, but
can automatically change modes as the vehicle warms up to
maintain the chosen temperature
setting. The length of time
needed for warm up depends on
the outside temperature and the
length of time that has elapsed
since the vehicle was last driven.
3. Wait for the system to regulate. This may take from 10 to
30 minutes. Then adjust the
temperature, if necessary.
English can be changed to metric
units through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See Driver
Information Center (DIC)
on

Wiper Blade Replacement
Windshield wiper blades should be
inspected for wear or cracking. See
Scheduled Maintenance
on
page 11‑3.
It is a good idea to clean or replace
the wiper blade assembly on a
regular basis or when worn. For
proper windshield wiper blade
length and type, see Maintenance
Replacement Parts on page 11‑9. To replace the wiper blade
assembly:
1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with
the engine off.
2. Turn on the windshield wipers and turn them off again when
the wipers are in the out-wipe
position. The driver side blade
will be straight up and down on
the windshield.
3. Pull the windshield wiper assembly away from the
windshield.
4. Lift up the wiper bladeassembly cap.
5. Pull the wiper blade assembly down far enough to release it
from the J-hooked end of the
wiper arm. Slide the assembly
away from the arm.
Allowing the wiper blade arm to
touch the windshield when no
wiper blade is installed could
damage the windshield. Any
damage that occurs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do
not allow the wiper blade arm to
touch the windshield.
