The steering wheel may be locked.•

right while turning the ignition key.
The ignition switch does not turn from
I to 0 and I
cannot remove the key. Why?
The shift lever should be moved to P on the automatic
transmission (CVT) model.
Why does the brake pedal pulsate slightly when applying the brakes? This can occur when the ABS activates, and does not indicate a problem. Apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal. Never pump the brake pedal.
Why do the doors lock after I unlocked the doors using a remote transmitter? If you do not open the doors within 30 seconds, the doors relock automatically.

Seat Belts About Your Seat Belts
Proper Use of Seat Belts
■
Follow these guidelines for proper use:
All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that position

●
for the duration of the trip. Slouching or leaning reduces the effectiveness of the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a crash. Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or

●
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very

●
seriously injured in a crash.Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improve

●
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash. Seat Belt Reminder

■
Your vehicle monitors seat belt use. If the ignition switch is turned to ON
II before the
driver’s seat belt is fastened, a beeper will sound and the indicator will blink. If the driver does not fasten the belt before the beeper stops, the indicator will remain on. The beeper will also periodically sound and the indicator will blink while driving until the driver’s and passenger’s seat belts are fastened.
About Your Seat Belts
If your passenger moves around and extends the seat belt, the lockable retractor may activate. If this happens, release the retractor by unfastening the seat belt and allow the belt to retract completely. Then refasten the belt.
Seat Belt Reminder
The indicator will also come on if a passenger does not fasten their seat belt within 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to ON
. When no one
is sitting in the passenger's seat, or a child or small adult is riding there, the indicator will not come on. This is because the weight sensor in the seat cannot detect their presence.

Airbags
Airbag System Components
The front, front side, and side curtain airbags are deployed according to the direction and severity of the impact. The airbag system includes:
Two SRS (Supplemental Restraint
System) front airbags. The driver’s
airbag is stored in the center of the
steering wheel; the passenger’s airbag
is stored in the dashboard. Both are
marked “SRS AIRBAG.”
Two side airbags, one for the driver
and one for a passenger. The airbags
are stored in the outer edges of the
seat-backs. Both are marked “SIDE
A I R B A G .”
Two side curtain airbags, one for each
side of the vehicle. The airbags are
stored in the ceiling, above the side
windows. The front and rear pillars
are marked “SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG.”
An electronic control unit that
continually monitors and records
information about the sensors,
the airbag activators, the seat belt
tensioners, and driver and passenger
seat belt use when the ignition
switch is in ON
II. It also includes
emergency backup power in case
your vehicle’s electrical system is
disconnected in a crash.
Automatic seat belt tensioners. The
driver’s and passenger’s seat belts
incorporate sensors that detect
whether or not they are fastened.
A driver’s seat position sensor that
monitors the distance of the seat from
the front airbag. If the seat is too far
forward, the airbag will inflate with
less force.
Weight sensors in the passenger’s
seat. The passenger’s airbag will be
turned off if the weight on the seat is
65 lbs (29 kg) or less (the weight of an
infant or small child).
Impact sensors that can detect a
moderate to severe front or side
collision.
An indicator on the dashboard that
alerts you that the passenger’s front
airbag has been turned off.
Sensors that can detect if a child
or small statured adult is in the
deployment path of the passenger’s
side airbag.
An indicator on the instrument panel
that alerts you to a possible problem
with your airbag system or seat belt
tensioners.
An indicator on the instrument panel
that alerts you that the passenger’s
side airbag has been turned off.
