Safety system of your vehicle
The front air bags are designed to sup-
plement the three-point seat belts. For
these air bags to provide protection, the
seat belts must be worn at all times when
driving.
You can be severely injured or killed in an
accident if you are not wearing a seat
belt. Air bags are designed to supple-
ment seat belts, but do not replace them.
Also, air bags are not designed to deploy
in every collision. In some accidents, the
seat belts are the only restraint protect-
ing you.
WARNING- AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• ALWAYS use seat belts and child restraints - every trip, every time, every-
one! Even with air bags, you can be seriously injured or killed in a collision
if you are improperly belted or not wearing your seat belt when the air bag
inflates.
• NEVER place a child in any child restraint or booster seat in the front pas-
senger seat. An inflating air bag could forcefully strike the infant or child
causing serious or fatal injuries.
• ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It is the safest
place for children of any age to ride. If a child age 13 or older must be seat-
ed in the front seat, he or she must be properly belted and the seat should
be moved as far back as possible.
• All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in an upright position,
centered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked and the
engine is turned off. If an occupant is out of position during an accident,
the rapidly deploying air bag may forcefully contact the occupant causing
serious or fatal injuries.
• You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily close to
the air bags or lean against the door or center console.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, while still main-
taining control of the vehicle. It is recommended that drivers allow at least
25 cm (10 inches) between the center of the steering wheel and the chest.

Where are the air bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s front air
bags (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver
and passenger seating positions.
The SRS consists of air bags which are
located in the center of the steering
wheel and the passenger's side front
panel pad above the glove box.
The air bags are labeled with the letters
“AIR BAG” embossed on the pad covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and front passengers
with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt system alone in
case of a frontal impact of sufficient
severity.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death from an inflating front air
bags, take the following precau-
tions:
• Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
• Adjust the front passenger’s and
driver’s seats as far to the rear as
possible while allowing you to
maintain full control of the vehicle.
• Never lean against the door or
center console.
• Do not allow the front passenger
to place their feet or legs on the
dashboard.
• Do not allow the passenger to ride
in the front seat when the front
passenger’s air bag OFF indicator
is illuminated.
• No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument panel,
and the front passenger's panel
above the glove box. Such objects
could cause harm if the vehicle is
in a crash severe enough to cause
the air bags to deploy.

ROAD WARNING
Hazard warning flasher
The hazard warning flasher serves as a
warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,
overtaking, or passing your vehicle.It should be used whenever emergency
repairs are being made or when the vehi-
cle is stopped near the edge of a road-
way.
To turn the hazard warning flasher on or
off, press the hazard warning flasher but-
ton with the ignition switch in any posi-
tion. The button is located in the center
console switch panel. All turn signal
lights will flash simultaneously.
• The hazard warning flasher operates
whether your vehicle is running or not.
• The turn signals do not work when the
hazard flasher is on.
If the engine stalls at a crossroad
or crossing
• If the engine stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.
• If your vehicle has a manual transaxle
not equipped with a ignition lock
switch, the vehicle can move forward
by shifting to the 2(second) or 3(third)
gear and then turning the starter with-
out depressing the clutch pedal.
If you have a flat tire while driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
and let the vehicle slow down while
driving straight ahead. Do not apply the
brakes immediately or attempt to pull
off the road as this may cause a loss of
control. When the vehicle has slowed
to such a speed that it is safe to do so,
brake carefully and pull off the road.
Drive off the road as far as possible
and park on a firm level ground. If you
are on a divided highway, do not park
in the median area between the two
traffic lanes.
