Quick Reference Guide
What to Do If
The ignition switch does
not turn from
(0 to (q.
Why?
● The steering wheel may be locked.
● Move the steering wheel left and right
while turning the ignition key.
The ignition switch does
not turn from
(q to (0 and
I cannot remove the key.
Why?
The shift lever should be moved to (P on
the automatic transmission (CVT) model.
Why does the brake pedal
pulsate slightly when
applying the brakes?This can occur when the ABS activates, and does not indicate a
problem. Apply firm, steady pressu re on the brake pedal. Never
pump the brake pedal.
Why do the doors lock
after I unlocked the doors using a remote
transmitter?If you do not open the doors within 30 seconds, the doors are
relocked automatically for security.

7.Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by
rocking it forward and back and side to
side; little movement should be felt.
A tether anchorage point is provided behind
the passenger seat. A child seat with a tether
can be installed, so long as the base of the
child seat is secured using a seat belt. 1. Route the tether strap through the head
restraint legs. Make sure the strap is not twisted.
2. Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.
3. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the
child seat manufacturer.1Installing a Child Seat
A child seat that is not properly secured will not
adequately protect a child in a crash and may cause
injury to the child or another vehicle occupant.
To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle
and allow the seat belt to wind up all the way.
■Adding Security with a Tether1Adding Security with a Tether
Since a tether can provide additional security to the
lap/shoulder seat belt installation, we recommend
using a tether wheneve r one is available.
