uu For Safe Driving u Your Vehicle’s Safety Features
For the safety of you and your passenger s, make a habit of checking these items
each time before you drive.
• After everyone has entered the vehicle, be sure all doors and the tailgate are
closed and locked. Locking the doors and the tailgate helps prevent an
occupant from being ejected and an outsider from unexpectedly opening a
door or the tailgate.
2 Locking/Unlocking the Doors from the Inside P. 91
•Adjust your seat to a position suitable for driving. Be sure the front seats
are adjusted as far to the rear as possible while allowing the driver to control
the vehicle. Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious or fatal
injury in a crash.
2 Adjusting the Seats P. 119
• Adjust head restraints to the proper position. Head res traints are most effective
when the center of the head restraint ali gns with the center of your head. Taller
persons should adjust their head restraint to the highest position.
2 Adjusting the Head Restraints P. 121
•Always wear your seat belt, and make sure you wear it properly. Confirm that any
passengers are properly belted as well.
2 Fastening a Seat Belt P. 29
• Protect children by using seat belts or child seats according to a child’s age, height
and weight.
2 Child Safety P. 49
■Safety Checklist1Safety Checklist
If the door and tailgate open indicator is on, a door
and/or the tailgate is not co mpletely closed. Close all
doors and the tailgate tightly until the indicator goes
off. 2 Door and Tailgate Open Indicator P. 68

Exhaust Gas Hazard
Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorless,
odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your vehicle, carbon
monoxide gas will not get into the interior.
■Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever
• The exhaust system is making an unusual noise.
• The exhaust system may have been damaged.
• The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
When you operate a vehicle with the tailgate open, airflow can pull exhaust gas into
the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with the tailgate
open, open all the windows and set the climate control system as shown below.
1. Select the fresh air mode.
2. Select the mode.
3. Set the fan speed to high.
4. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.
Adjust the climate control sy stem in the same manner if you sit in your parked
vehicle with the engine running.
1Carbon Monoxide Gas
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up
with carbon monoxide gas.
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed.
Even when the garage door is open, drive out of the
garage immediately afte r starting the engine.
3 WARNING
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.
Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and
even kill you.
Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that
expose you to carbon monoxide.
