• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags to provideenhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact.
• This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag to provide enhanced protection and work together with the Driver Advanced Front Air Bag during a
frontal impact.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light
is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while
driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air
bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the air bags
won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air
Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags need room to
inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in
the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or
killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in
another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear
seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEAT-CHECK (1–866–732–8243).
• Canadian residents, should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional informa- tion http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm.

WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronicillness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical conditions must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or
cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been
overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface temperature of
the seat.

ment that heats the steering wheel to one

Once the heated steering wheel has been
turned on, it will operate for approximately
58 to 70 minutes before automatically
shutting off. The heated steering wheel can
shut off early or may not turn on when the steering wheel is already warm.
TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN

ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
• Press the switch located on the left sideof the steering column forward to move
the brake and accelerator pedals away
from the driver and press the switch rear-
ward to move the pedals closer to the
driver.
