ty as follows: •It is possible to disable the operation con-
firmation function (flashing of the turn-

WARNINGlIT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AL-
WAYS PROPERLY WEAR YOUR
SEAT BELT, EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG: •Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-
senger properly positioned, which re-
duces injury risk in all collisions, and
reduces the risk of serious or fatal in-
juries when the airbags inflate.
During sudden braking just before a
collision, an unrestrained or improper-
ly restrained driver or passenger can
move forward into direct contact with
or within close proximity to the airbag
which may then deploy during the col-
lision.
The initial stage of airbag inflation is
the most forceful which could cause se-
rious or fatal injuries if the occupant
contacts it at this stage.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in
roll-overs, rear impact collisions, and
in lower-speed frontal collisions, be-
cause driver’s and passenger’s air-
bags are not designed to inflate in
those situations.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of being
thrown from your vehicle in a colli-
sion or roll-over.
l IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP-
ERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to
the steering wheel or instrument panel
during airbag deployment can be killed
or seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great
force.WARNINGIf the driver and front passenger are not
properly seated and restrained, the air-
bags may not protect you properly, and
could cause serious or fatal injuries when
it inflates. •Before driving, adjust the driver’s
seat as far back as possible while still
maintaining complete control of the ve-
hicle.
• Before driving, adjust the front passen-
ger seat as far back as possible.
• Make sure all vehicle occupants are al-
ways properly restrained using the
available seat belts.
• With seat belts properly fastened, the
driver and passenger should sit well
back and upright without leaning
against the window or door.
l Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or lean
head or chest close to the steering wheel
or instrument panel. Do not put feet or
legs on or against the instrument panel.
l Place all infants and small children in the
rear seat and properly restrained using
an appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest for infants and
children.WARNINGl Infants and small children should never
be unrestrained, stand up against the in-
strument panel or held in your arms or
on your lap. They could be seriously in-
jured or killed in a collision, including
when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in the rear seat in an ap-
propriate child restraint system. See the
“Child restraint” section in this owner’s
manual.

How the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem works E00407301583
The SRS includes the following components:
1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
5- Side airbag modules*
6- Curtain airbag modules*
The airbags will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.

The airbags deployment produces a sudden, loud
noise, and releases some smoke and powder, but
these conditions are not injurious, and do not indi-
cate a fire in the vehicle. People with respiratory
problems may feel some temporary irritation from
chemicals used to produce the deployment; open
the windows after airbag deployment, if safe to do
so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deployment,
so there is little danger of obscured vision.CAUTIONl Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid
speed. In certain situations, contact with
inflating airbags can result in abrasions,
light cuts, bruises, and the like.Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch E00410100197
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch can
be used to disable the front passenger’s airbag. If
you have a child restraint system that cannot be fit-
ted to any seat other than the front passenger seat,
be sure to turn OFF the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch before using it. (Refer to “To turn
an airbag off” on page 2-26.)
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is lo-
cated in the glove box.Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp E00411500101
The front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
is located in the meter.
The indication lamp normally comes on when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, and
goes off a few seconds later.

The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE NOT
DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The side airbags and curtain airbags are not de-
signed to deploy in conditions where they cannot
usually provide protection to the occupant. Typical
conditions are shown in the illustration.Head-on collisionsRear end collisions
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not
protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be
sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
WARNINGl The side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to supplement the driver and pas-
senger seat belts in certain side impacts.
Seat belts should always be worn proper-
ly, and the driver and passenger should
sit well back and upright without leaning
against the window or door.WARNINGl The side airbags and curtain airbags in-
flate with great force. The driver and pas-
senger should not put their arms out the
window, and should not lean against the
door, in order to reduce risk of serious or
possible fatal injury from the deploying
side airbags and curtain airbags.WARNINGl Do not allow a child to kneel on the pas-
senger seat facing the passenger’s side
door, since the side airbags and curtain
airbags inflate with great force.
Otherwise, the child may be killed or seri-
ously injured.WARNINGl Do not allow any rear seat occupant to
hold onto the seatback of either front
seat, in order to reduce risk of injury
from the deploying side airbags. Special
care should be taken with children.
l Do not place any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They
could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side airbag deployment.
l Do not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side air-
bag inflation.
l Do not install seat covers on seats with
side airbags. Do not re-cover seats that
have side airbags. They could interfere
with proper side airbag inflation.

Headlamps
NOTE l Do not leave the headlamps and other lamps
on for a long time while the engine is station-
ary (not running). A rundown battery could
result.
l When it rains, or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy. This is the same phenomenon
as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob-
lem. When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water gath-
ers inside the lamp, we recommend you to
have it checked.Type 1
