When the power ON/OFF button(PWR) is OFF (not depressed), the
power tailgate can not be controlled
with the sub control buttons or tailgate
handle, and if the sub control button is
pushed, the chime sounds once.
However, the tailgate may be opened
manually by pulling the exterior handle
and lifting the tailgate upward. The tail-
gate may be manually closed by push-
ing the tailgate downward.
If the power tailgate is not closed andlatched completely after power closing
operation, the chime sounds 3 times.
If the power tailgate is operated while the tailgate is in partially opened posi-
tion (less than 20 degrees), the tailgate
is automatically opened fully.
If the power tailgate is operated while
the tailgate is in half-opened position
(more than 20 degrees), the tailgate is
automatically closed completely. If the power tailgate is operated again
while the tailgate is closing, the tailgate
is automatically opened fully.
If the power tailgate is operated again while the tailgate is opening, the tail-
gate is automatically closed complete-
ly. However, if the power tailgate button
is pressed again when the tailgate is
open less than 20 degrees, the tailgate
will continue to open.
Power tailgate non-opening condi-tions
The power tailgate will not open auto-
matically, but will close under the follow-
ing conditions. If the main or sub control
button is pushed for power opening oper-
ation, the chime sounds once.
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position,
1. Vehicle is moving above 5 km/h (3 mph).
2. The gearshift lever is not in P (Park) for automatic transaxle.WARNING
Even though the power ON/OFF
button (PWR) is in the OFF (not
depressed) position, the tailgate
will still be propelled upward by
mechanical force if the tailgate is
manually opened more than 20
degrees beyond the fully closed
position. In addition, if the tailgate
is manually closed to the secondary
latch position, the tailgate will be
electrically moved to the fully
latched position. Make sure that
face, arms, hands, and other
obstructions are safely out of the
way before operating the tailgate.
WARNING
Make sure there are no people or
objects around the tailgate before
operating the power tailgate. Wait
until the tailgate is open fully and
stopped before loading or unload-
ing cargo or passengers from the
vehicle.
WARNING
Make sure the tailgate is closed
firmly before driving. If the tailgate
is open, you will draw dangerous
exhaust fumes into your vehicle
which can cause serious injury or
death to vehicle occupants.

WARNING - Refueling dan-
gers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines care-
fully. Failure to follow these guide-
lines may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death by fire
or explosion.
Before refueling note the locationof the Emergency Gasoline Shut-
Off, if available, at the gas station
facility.
Before touching the fuel nozzle, you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe distance
away from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refueling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing or
sliding against any item or fabric
(polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static elec-
tricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other gaso-
line source.
When using a portable fuel con- tainer be sure to place the con-
tainer on the ground prior to refu-
eling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. Once refu-
eling has begun, contact with the
vehicle should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
(Continued)(Continued)Use only portable plastic fuel
containers designed to carry and
store gasoline.
Do not use cellular phones while refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellu-
lar phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
When refueling, always shut the engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the
filler cap and filler door are
securely closed, before starting
the engine.
DO NOT use matches or a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while at a
gas station especially during
refueling. Automotive fuel is high-
ly flammable and can, when ignit-
ed, result in fire.

WARNING
The power seats are operable with
the ignition OFF.
Therefore, children should never be
left unattended in the car.
CAUTION
Power seats are driven by an electric motor. Stop operatingonce the adjustment is complet- ed. Excessive operation maydamage the electrical equipment.
When in operation, the power seats consume large amounts ofelectrical power. To prevent unnec- essary charging system drain,don’t adjust the power seatslonger than necessary while the engine is not running.
Do not operate two or more power seat control buttons at the sametime. Doing so may result inpower seat motor or electrical component malfunction.

Air bag system components
The main components of your SRS are:
To indicate that your vehicle isequipped with air bags, the corre-
sponding air bag covers are marked
with “SRS AIR BAG”.
- Driver’s air bag
- Passenger’s air bag
- Side air bag
- Curtain air bag
A diagnostic system that continually monitors the system operation.
An indicator light to warn you of a pos- sible problem with the system. Emergency power backup in case your
car’s electrical system is disconnected
in a crash.
The SRS uses a collection of sensors to
gather information about the driver’s seat
position, the driver’s and front passenger’s
safety belt usage and impact severity.
The driver’s seat position sensor, which
is installed on the seat track, determine if
the seat is fore or aft of a reference posi-
tion. Similarly, the safety belt usage sen-
sors determine if the driver and front pas-
senger’s safety belts are fastened. These
sensors provide the ability to control the
SRS deployment based on how close the
driver’s seat is to the steering wheel,
whether or not the safety belts are fas-
tened, and the severity of the impact.
(Continued)
If the driver brakes the vehicle heavily prior to an impact, unbelt-
ed occupants will be thrown for-
ward. If the front passenger is not
wearing the safety belts, they will
be directly in front of the storage
compartment when deployment
occurs. In that situation, serious
injury or death is possible.
Never allow front passenger to put their hands, feet or face on or
close to the instrument panel. In
the event of air bag deployment,
such a mispositioned occupant
would be likely to suffer severe
injury or death.
Never allow children, pregnant women or weak persons to sit in
the front passenger seat. Do not
put child restraint system on the
front passenger's seat either.
They may be seriously injured by
the air bag inflation when air bag
deploys.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not put objects or stickers onthe instrument panel. Do not
apply any accessory to the front
windshield. Do not install after-
market mirrors or accessories on
the factory-installed rearview mir-
ror. Any of these could interfere
with the deployment of the air bag
or could hit your body at high
speed and cause severe bodily
injury and even death.
