Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and
colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause you or
others to be severely injured or killed when inhaled.

door is open.
To Disarm
• Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button or turn the ignition to the ON/RUN

SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove
slack in the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the
lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A
snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during
a collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not
wear your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used
together.
• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop
you could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear
your seat belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays,
or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not
disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with
pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat
belt in the event of a collision.
