USE REMINDER SYSTEM
(BeltAlert®)
BeltAlert® is a feature intended to
remind the driver to fasten the seat
belt. The feature is active whenever
the ignition is on. If the driver is un-
belted, the Seat Belt Reminder Light
will turn on and remain on until the
seat belt is fastened.
The BeltAlert® warning sequence be-
gins after the vehicle speed is over
8 km/h, by blinking the Seat Belt
Reminder Light and sounding an in-
termittent chime. Once the sequence
starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seat-
belt is fastened. After the sequence
completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until the
respective seat belt is fastened. The
driver should instruct all other occu-
pants to fasten their seat belts. If the
driver's seat belt is unbuckled while
traveling at speeds greater than
8 km/h, BeltAlert® will provide both
audio and visual notification.

When the air bag deploys, it opens the
seam between the front and side of the
seat's trim cover. Each air bag deploys
independently; a left side impact de-
ploys the left air bag only and a right-
side impact deploys the right air bag
only.
NOTE:
Air Bag covers may not be obvious
in the interior trim, but they will
open during air bag deployment. Being too close to the SAB duringdeployment could cause you to
be severely injured or killed. SAB air bags are a supplement to the
seat belt restraint system. Occupants,
including children who are up against
or very close to SAB air bags can be
seriously injured or killed. Occupants,
especially children, should not lean on
or sleep against the door, side win-
dows, or area where the SAB air bags
inflate, even if they are in an infant or
child restraint. Always sit upright as
possible with your back against the
seat back, use the seat belts properly,
and use the appropriate sized child
restraint, infant restraint or booster
seat recommended for the size and
weight of the child.
The system includes side impact sen-
sors that are calibrated to deploy the
SAB air bags during impacts that re-
quire air bag occupant protection.
WARNING!
Do not use accessory seat covers or
place objects between you and the
side air bags; the performance
could be adversely affected and/or
objects could be pushed into you,
causing serious injury.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolster helps pro-
tect the knees of the front passenger,
and position the front occupant for
the best interaction with the Ad-
vanced Front Air Bag.
Along with seat belts and pretension-
ers, Advanced Front Air Bags work
with the bolsters to provide improved
protection for the driver and front
passenger. Side air bags also work
with seat belts to improve occupant
protection.

WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light
in your instrument panel could
mean you won't have the air bags to
protect you in a collision. If the light
does not come on as a bulb check
when the ignition is first turned on,
stays on after you start the vehicle,
or if it comes on as you drive, have
an authorized dealer service the air
bag system immediately.
Driver And Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units
The Driver and Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units are lo-
cated in the center of the steering
wheel and on the right side of the
instrument panel. When the ORC de-
tects a collision requiring the Ad-
vanced Front Air Bags, it signals the
inflator units. A large quantity of non-
toxic gas is generated to inflate the
Advanced Front Air Bags. Different
air bag inflation rates are possible,
based on several factors, including the collision type and severity. The steer-
ing wheel hub trim cover and the up-
per right side of the instrument panel
separate and fold out of the way as the
air bags inflate to their full size. The
air bags fully inflate in about 50 to
70 milliseconds. This is about half of
the time it takes to blink your eyes.
The air bags then quickly deflate
while helping to restrain the driver
and front passenger.
The Advanced Front Air Bag gas is
vented through the vent holes in the
sides of the air bag. In this way, the air
bags do not interfere with your con-
trol of the vehicle.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bag (SAB) Inflator Units
The Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags (SAB) are designed to
activate only in certain side collisions.
The ORC determines if a side collision
requires the side air bags to inflate,
based on the severity and type of col-
lision.Based on the severity and type of col-
lision, the side air bag inflator on the
crash side of the vehicle may be trig-
gered, releasing a quantity of non-
toxic gas. The inflating SAB exits
through the seat seam into the space
between the occupant and the door.
The SAB fully inflate in about 10 mil-
liseconds. The side air bag moves at a
very high speed and with such a high
force that it could injure you if you are
not seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the side
air bag inflates. This especially ap-
plies to children.
Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sen-
sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact
events.

Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica-
tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the En-
hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:
 Cut off fuel to the engine.
 Flash hazard lights as long as thebattery has power or until the igni-
tion key is turned off.
 Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is
removed.
 Unlock the doors automatically.
In order to reset the Enhanced Acci-
dent Response System functions after
an event, the ignition switch must be
changed from IGN ON to IGN OFF. If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are de-
signed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
NOTE: Front and/or side air bags
will not deploy in all collisions.
This does not mean something is
wrong with the air bag system.
If you do have a collision, which de-
ploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:
 The nylon air bag material may
sometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags de-
ploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or
those you might get sliding along a
carpet or gymnasium floor. They
are not caused by contact with
chemicals. They are not permanent
and normally heal quickly. How-
ever, if you haven't healed signifi-
cantly within a few days, or if you
have any blistering, see your doctor
immediately.  As the air bags deflate, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product
of the process that generates the
non-toxic gas used for air bag infla-
tion. These airborne particles may
irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If you have skin or eye irri-
tation, rinse the area with cool wa-
ter. For nose or throat irritation,
move to fresh air. If the irritation
continues, see your doctor. If these
particles settle on your clothing,
follow the garment manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
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.

CHILD RESTRAINTS
Everyone in your vehicle needs to be
buckled up all the time, including
babies and children.
Children 12 years or younger should
ride properly buckled up in a rear
seat, if available. According to crashstatistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seats,
rather than in the front.
WARNING!
 In a collision, an unrestrained
child, even a tiny baby, can be-
come a projectile inside the ve-
hicle. The force required to hold
even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could
not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and oth-
ers could be badly injured. Any
child riding in your vehicle
should be in a proper restraint for
the child's size.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Occupants, especially children, should not lean on or sleep
against the door, side windows, or
area where the SAB air bags in-
flate, even if they are in an infant
or child restraint.
There are different sizes and types of
restraints for children from newborn
size to the child almost large enough
for an adult safety belt. Always check
the child seat owner's manual to en-
sure you have the correct seat for your
child. Use the restraint that is correct
for your child.

CAUTION!(Continued)
 Make sure there is sufficient clearance of at least 2.2 m for the
top to move up.
 To prevent striking a low ceiling or automatic door opener with
the top, it is strongly recom-
mended that you do not operate
the power top inside a garage or
parking structure.
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the convertible top
components, trunk contents, and
the vehicle interior.CAUTION!
 Do not operate the power top with the hydraulic pump valve open.
 Do not allow the top to remain in
the suspended position. After ap-
proximately 10 minutes in the
suspended position, the hydraulic
pressure will release, which will
allow the top and the trunk lid to
lower. Pressing the power top
switch will cancel this operation.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
 Always use a normal ice scraper to remove snow or ice from the
rear window. Use of a sharp ob-
ject or other tools could scratch
the panels (hard top) or tear the
fabric (soft top) when removing
snow or ice.
 Always close the top when leaving your vehicle so as not to leave the
interior exposed to potentially
damaging outdoor conditions.
 Do not leave the top lowered for
several weeks at a time. Close it
occasionally to prevent discolor-
ation in the folds of the fabric and
to allow the creases to smooth
out. This is especially important
if the top was stowed when not
completely dry.
Failure to follow these cautions can
cause damage to the convertible top
components, trunk contents, and
the vehicle interior.
WARNING!
Failure to follow these warnings
can result in injuries that are seri-
ous or fatal to you, your passengers,
and others around you:
 Before operating the power top, make sure that no moving parts
of the convertible top can injure a
person or animal.
 Never place any extremities (hands, feet, etc.) near the con-
vertible top components, the up-
per windshield area, the shelf
area behind the rear seats, or the
convertible top stowage area
while raising or lowering the con-
vertible top.
 When using the power top button
on RKE transmitter, if potential
danger exists while lowering the
top, release the button immedi-
ately to interrupt the operation.
 When using the power top switch on the instrument panel, if poten-
tial danger exists while lowering
the top, release the switch imme-
diately to interrupt the operation.

CAUTION!To avoid damage to the mirror dur-
ing cleaning, never spray any clean-
ing solution directly onto the mirror.
Apply the solution onto a clean cloth
and wipe the mirror clean.OUTSIDE MIRRORS
To receive maximum benefit, adjust
the outside mirrors to center on the
adjacent lane of traffic and a slight
overlap of the view obtained from the
inside mirror.
NOTE: The passenger side con-
vex outside mirror will give a
much wider view to the rear, and
especially of the lane next to your
vehicle.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in
the passenger side convex mirror
will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too
much on your passenger side con-
vex mirror could cause you to col-
lide with another vehicle or other
object. Use your inside mirror when
judging the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the passenger side
convex mirror.
POWER MIRRORS
The power mirror switch is located on
the driver's door trim. A rotary knob
selects the left mirror, right mirror or
off position. After selecting a mirror, move the
knob in the same direction you want
the mirror to move. When finished,
return the knob to the center “O”
(Off) position to guard against acci-
dentally moving a mirror position.
HEATED MIRRORS
These mirrors are heated to
melt frost or ice. This feature is
activated whenever you turn
on the rear window defroster. Refer to
“Rear Window Features” in “Under-
standing The Features Of Your Ve-
hicle” for further information.
