WARNING . Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo
area or on the rear seat when it is in the
fold-down position. Use of these areas
by passengers without proper restraints
could result in serious injury in an
accident or sudden stop.

straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
. When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched posi-
tion. If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
. Closely supervise children when they are
around cars to prevent them from play-
ing and becoming locked in the trunk
where they could be seriously injured.
Keep the car locked, with the rear seatback and trunk lid securely latched
when not in use, and prevent children ’ s
access to car keys.

Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) GUID-31750F29-30E3-4506-AEB2-E92A82111EA9
If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is
running, it may indicate a potential emis-
sion control malfunction.
The malfunction indicator light may also
come on steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose
or missing, or if the vehicle runs out of fuel.
Check to make sure the fuel-filler cap is
installed and closed tightly, and that the
vehicle has at least 3 US gallons (14 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off if no other potential
emission control system malfunction ex-
ists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20
seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indicates
that the vehicle is not ready for an
emission control system inspection/main-
tenance test. (See “ Readiness for Inspec-
tion/Maintenance (I/M) test (US only) ” (P.9-
27).)

light does not turn off
after a few driving trips, have the
