POWER DOOR LOCKS
A power door lock switch is on each
front door trim panel. Use this switch
to lock or unlock the doors.
The doors can also be locked and un-
locked with the Keyless Enter-N-Go
(Passive Entry) system. For further
information, refer to “Keyless Enter-
N-Go” in “Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle”.
If you press the power door lock
switch while the ignition is in the ACC
or ON/RUN position, and any front
door is open, the power locks will not
operate. This prevents you from acci-
dentally locking the Key Fob in the
vehicle. Cycling the ignition to theOFF position or closing the door will
allow the locks to operate. If a door is
open, and the ignition is in the ACC or
ON/RUN position, a chime will sound
as a reminder to remove the Key Fob.
Automatic Door Locks
When enabled, the door locks will
lock automatically when the vehicle's
speed exceeds 24 km/h. The auto
door lock feature can be enabled or
disabled by your authorized dealer
per written request of the customer.

All seat belt systems (except the
driver’s and front passenger's) in-
clude Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALRs), which lock the seat belt
webbing into position by extending
the belt all the way out and then
adjusting the belt to the desired
length to restrain a child seat or
secure a large item in a seatPlease pay close attention to the infor-
mation in this section. It tells you how
to use your restraint system properly,
to keep you and your passengers as
safe as possible.
If you will be carrying children too
small for adult-sized seat belts, the
seat belts or the ISOFIX feature also
can be used to hold infant and child
restraint systems. For more informa-
tion, refer to ISOFIX — Child Seat
Anchorage System.
NOTE: The Advanced Front Air
Bags have a multistage inflator
design. This allows the air bag to
have different rates of inflation
based on several factors, including
the severity and type of collision.Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm
from a deploying air bag:
1.
Children 12 years old and un-
der should always ride buckled up
in a rear seat.
WARNING!
Infants in rear facing child re-
straints should never ride in the
front seat of a vehicle with a pas-
senger Advanced Front Air Bag.
An air bag deployment can cause
severe injury or death to infants in
that position.
Children that are not big enough to
wear the vehicle seat belt properly
(see section on Child Restraints)
should be secured in the rear seat in
child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats. Older children who do
not use child restraints or belt-
positioning booster seats should ride
properly buckled up in the rear seat.
Never allow children to slide the
shoulder belt behind them or under
their arm.
You should read the instructions pro-
vided with your child restraint to make
sure that you are using it properly.2. All occupants should always
wear their lap and shoulder belts
properly.
3. The driver and front passenger
seats should be moved back as far
as practical to allow the Advanced
Front Air Bags room to inflate.
4. Do not lean against the door or
window. If your vehicle has side
air bags, and deployment occurs,
the side air bags will inflate force-
fully into the space between you
and the door.
5. If the air bag system in this
vehicle needs to be modified to
accommodate a disabled person,
contact the Customer Center.WARNING!
Infants in rear facing child re-
straints should never ride in the
front seat of a vehicle with a pas-
senger Advanced Front Air Bag.

WARNING!(Continued)
An air bag deployment can cause
severe injury or death to infants in
that position.
Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips.
Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and cause a collision that in-
cludes you. This can happen far away
from home or on your own street.WARNING!In a collision, you and your passen-
gers can suffer much greater injuries
if you are not properly buckled up.
You can strike the interior of your
vehicle or other passengers, or you
can be thrown out of the vehicle.
Always be sure you and others in
your vehicle are buckled up properly.Research has shown that seat belts
save lives, and they can reduce the
seriousness of injuries in a collision.
Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the ve-
hicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility
of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the
vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle
should be belted at all times.
LAP/SHOULDER BELTS
All seating positions in your vehicle
are equipped with combination lap/
shoulder belts.
The belt webbing retractor is de-
signed to lock during very sudden
stops or impacts. This feature allows
the shoulder part of the belt to move
freely with you under normal condi-
tions. However, in a collision, the belt
will lock and reduce your risk of strik-
ing the inside of the vehicle or being
thrown out.
WARNING!
 It is dangerous to ride in a cargo
area, inside or outside of a ve-
hicle. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
 Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
Wearing a seat belt incorrectly is
dangerous. Seat belts are designed
to go around the large bones of
your body. These are the strongest
parts of your body and can take
the forces of a collision the best.Wearing your belt in the wrong
place could make your injuries in
a collision much worse. You might
suffer internal injuries, or you
could even slide out of part of the
belt. Follow these instructions to
wear your seat belt safely and to
keep your passengers safe, too.Two people should never be belted
into a single seat belt. People
belted together can crash into one
another in a collision, hurting one
another badly. Never use a lap/
shoulder belt or lap belt for more
than one person, no matter what
their size.
29

WARNING!
A lap belt worn too high can in-
crease the risk of injury in a colli-
sion. The belt forces won't be at
the strong hip and pelvic bones,
but across your abdomen. Always
wear the lap part of your seat belt
as low as possible and keep it snug. A twisted belt may not protectyou properly. In a collision, it
could even cut into you. Be sure
the belt is straight. If you can't
straighten a belt in your vehicle,
take it to your authorized dealer
immediately and have it fixed.
5. 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. 6. To release the belt, push the red
button on the buckle. The belt will
automatically retract to its stowed
position. If necessary, slide the latch
plate down the webbing to allow the
belt to retract fully.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt
Anchorage
In the driver and front passenger
seats, the shoulder belt can be ad-
justed upward or downward to posi-
tion the belt away from your neck.
Push and fully depress the button
above the webbing to release the an-
chorage, then move it up or down to
the position that fits you best.
As a guide, if you are shorter than
average you will prefer a lower posi-
tion, and if you are taller than average
you will prefer a higher position.
When you release the anchorage try to
move it up and down to make sure
that it is locked in position.
In the rear seat, move toward the cen-
ter of the seat to position the belt away
from your neck.
LAP/SHOULDER BELT
UNTWISTING PROCEDURE
Use the following procedure to un-
twist a twisted lap/shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close as
possible to the anchor point.
2. At about 15 to 30 cm above the
latch plate, grasp and twist the belt
webbing 180 degrees to create a fold
that begins immediately above the
latch plate.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over
the folded webbing. The folded web-
bing must enter the slot at the top of
the latch plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up
until it clears the folded webbing.

SEAT BELTS AND
PREGNANT WOMEN
We recommend that pregnant women
use the seat belts throughout their
pregnancy. Keeping the mother safe is
the best way to keep the baby safe.
Pregnant women should wear the lap
part of the belt across the thighs and
as snug across the hips as possible.
Keep the belt low so that it does not
come across the abdomen. That way
the strong bones of the hips will take
the force if there is a collision.
SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS) — AIR BAGS
This vehicle has Advanced Front Air
Bags for both the driver and front
passenger as a supplement to the seat
belt restraint systems. The driver's
Advanced Front Air Bag is mounted
in the center of the steering wheel.
The passenger's Advanced Front Air
Bag is mounted in the instrument
panel, above the glove compartment.The words SRS AIRBAG are em-
bossed on the air bag covers. In addi-
tion, the vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air
Bag mounted in the instrument panel
below the steering column.

3 —
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag (for versions/markets,
where provided)
NOTE: The Driver and Front
Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bags are certified to regulations
for Advanced Air Bags. The Advanced Front Air Bags have a
multistage inflator design. This allows
the air bag to have different rates of
inflation based on several factors,
including the severity and type of col-
lision.
This vehicle may be equipped with a
driver and/or front passenger seat
belt buckle switch that detects
whether the driver or front passenger
seat belt is fastened. The seat belt
buckle switch may adjust the inflation
rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags.
This vehicle is equipped with Supple-
mental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur-
tains (SABIC) to protect the driver,
front, and rear passengers sitting next
to a window. The SABIC air bags are
located above the side windows and
their covers are also labeled: SRS
AIRBAG.
This vehicle is equipped with Supple-
mental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
(SAB) to provide enhanced protection
for an occupant during a side impact.
The Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags are located in the out-
board side of the front seats.Advanced Front Air Bag And Knee

Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB)Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB) may provide enhanced pro-
tection to help protect an occupant dur-
ing a side impact. The SAB is marked
with an air bag label sewn into the out-
board side of the front seats.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 during
deployment 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.
Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)
SABIC air bags may offer side-impact
protection to front and rear seat out-
board occupants in addition to that
provided by the body structure. Each
air bag features inflated chambers
placed adjacent to the head of each
outboard occupant that reduce the po-
tential for side-impact head injuries.
The SABIC deploy downward, cover-
ing both windows on the impact side.

Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm
from a deploying air bag:
Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in a
rear seat.WARNING!Infants in rear-facing child restraints
should never ride in the front seat of
a vehicle with a passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag. An air bag deploy-
ment can cause severe injury or
death to infants in that position.Children that are not big enough to
wear the vehicle seat belt properly
(see Section on Child Restraints)
should be secured in the rear seat in
child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats. Older children who do
not use child restraints or belt-
positioning booster seats should ride
properly buckled up in the rear seat.Never allow children to slide the
shoulder belt behind them or under
their arm.
You should read the instructions pro-
vided with your child restraint to make
sure that you are using it properly.All occupants should always wear
their lap and shoulder belts properly.
The driver and front passenger seats
should be moved back as far as prac-
tical to allow the Advanced Front Air
Bags room to inflate.
Do not lean against the door or win-
dow. If your vehicle has side air bags,
and deployment occurs, the side air
bags will inflate forcefully into the
space between you and the door.If the air bag system in this vehicle
needs to be modified to accommodate a
disabled person, contact the Customer
Center. Phone numbers are provided
under "If You Need Assistance".
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 deploy-
ment could cause serious injury,
including death. Air Bags need
room to inflate. Sit back, com-
fortably extending your arms to
reach the steering wheel or in-
strument panel.
 Side air bags also need room to inflate. Do not lean against the
door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat.
