!
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROPERLY
SEATED.
• A driver or front passenger sitting too close to the
steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag
deployment can be seriously injured or killed.
• Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not properly
seated and restrained, the airbag may not provide
the proper protection and can cause serious inju-
ries or death when it inflates.
• To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death due to a deploying driver’s airbag, always
properly wear your seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible, maintaining a
position that still allows the driver to have good
control of the steering wheel, brake, accelerator,
and other vehicle controls.
• To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious
injury or death from a deploying passenger’s
airbag, make sure the passenger always wears the
seat belt properly, remains seated upright and all
the way back in the seat, and positions the seat as
far back as possible.
• Seat all infants and children in the rear seat, prop-
erly restrained in an appropriate child restraint
system.
WA R N I N G
!
Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force.
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or sit with your
lower legs too close to the instrument panel, or lean
your head or chest close to the steering wheel or the
instrument panel.
Do not put your feet or legs on or against the instru-
ment panel.

When the impact sensors detect a front or side impact sufficient
to deploy the airbag(s), the appropriate airbag(s) will be
deployed.
When airbags deploy, some smoke is released accompanied by
a loud noise. The smoke is not harmful, but do not intentionally
inhale the smoke as it may cause temporary irritation to people
with respiratory problems.
After deployment, the airbags will quickly deflate, so quickly
that some people may not even realize the airbags inflated.
Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing or
being able to steer the vehicle, and does not prevent people
from leaving the vehicle.
Event Data Recording
N00418600230
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or
near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hit-
ting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how
a vehicle’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynam-
ics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:

How various systems in your vehicle were operating;

Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;

How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelera-
tor and/or brake pedal; and,

How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the cir-
cumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
CAUTION
!
Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force. In
certain situations, contact with an inflating airbag
may cause small cuts, abrasions, and bruises. Refer
to “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag”
on page 2-33.

For future performance and economy of your vehicle, we rec-
ommend that you carry out the following precautions.

Avoid revving the engine. Do not exceed 5,000 rpm for
the first 600 miles (1,000 km).

Avoid rough driving such as fast starts, prolonged high-
speed driving and rough shifting for the first 300 miles
(500 km).

The high-performance brake pads on your vehicle require
a short break-in period. Avoid hard braking for the first
300 miles (500 km) to prevent future abnormal brake
noise and vibration from your vehicle’s brake pads.

The standard-equipment tires use a high-grip compound.
Thus drive with extra care for the first 200 miles (300
km).

Do not overload the vehicle. Observe the seating capacity
(See “Cargo loads precautions” on page 4-13).

Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.
