*1: Open door warning buzzer:A buzzer will sound if the vehicle reaches a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or
more with any door open.
*2: Driver’s seat belt buzzer:The driver’s seat belt buzzer sounds to alert the driver that his or her seat
belt is not fastened. Once the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position
(vehicles without a smart key system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles
with a smart key system), the buzzer sounds for 6 seconds. If the vehicle
reaches a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h), the buzzer sounds once. If the seat
belt is still unfastened after 30 seconds, the buzzer will sound intermittently
for 10 seconds. Then, if the seat belt is still unfastened, the buzzer will
sound in a different tone for 20 more seconds.
Front passenger’s seat belt buzzer:
The front passenger’s seat belt buzzer sounds to alert the front passenger
that his or her seat belt is not fastened. The buzzer sounds once if the\
vehicle reaches a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h). If the seat belt is still unfas-
tened after 30 seconds, the buzzer will sound intermittently for 10 seconds.
Then, if the seat belt is still unfastened, the buzzer will sound in a different
tone for 20 more seconds.
*3: Refer to the separate “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s ManualSupplement” for the maintenance interval applicable to your vehicle.
*4: The corner and center indicators turn on and remain on after the indicatorfor the malfunctioning sensor turns on and the vehicle indicator turns off
while the buzzer sounds for approximately 7 seconds.

When trouble arises
CAUTION
■Maintenance of the tires (vehicles with the tire pressure warning
system)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of a dif-
ferent size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load information label], you should determine
the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS-ti re pressure warning system) that
illuminates a low tire pre ssure telltale (tire pressure warning light) when
one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s hand ling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pres sure warning system) is not a sub-
stitute for proper ti re maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached
the level to trigger illumina tion of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warn-
ing system) malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunc-
tion indicator is combined with the lo w tire pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light). When the system dete cts a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue up on subsequent vehicle start-ups
as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illu-
minated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pres-
sure as intended.

■Précautions relatives aux coussins gonflables SRS
Observez les précautions suivantes en ce qui concerne les coussins gonfla-
bles SRS.
Les négliger pourrait occasionner des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
●Le conducteur et tous les passagers du véhicule doivent porter leur cein-
ture de sécurité de la manière appropriée.
Les coussins gonflables SRS sont des dispositifs supplémentaires qui doi-
vent être utilisés avec les ceintures de sécurité.
● Le coussin gonflable SRS du conducteur se déploie avec une force consi-
dérable et peut occasionner des blessures graves, voire mortelles, notam-
ment lorsque le conducteur se trouve très près du coussin gonflable. La
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), aux États-Unis,
fait les recommandations suivantes :
La zone à risque du coussin gonflable du conducteur couvre 2 à 3 in. (50
à 75 mm) de la zone de déploiement du coussin gonflable. Pour ass\
urer
une marge de sécurité suffisante, restez à 10 in. (250 mm) du coussin
gonflable. Cette distance est mesurée depuis le centre du volant jusqu’à
votre sternum. Si maintenant vous vous tenez assis à moins de 10 in.
(250 mm), vous pouvez changer votre position de conduite de plusieurs
manières :
• Reculez votre siège à la position maximale vous permettant d’atteindre
encore aisément les pédales.
• Inclinez légèrement le dossier du siège. Même si les véhicules sont conçus différemment, la plupart des con-
ducteurs peuvent maintenir une distance de 10 in. (250 mm), même si
leur siège se trouve complètement vers l’avant, simplement en inclinant
un peu le dossier du siège vers l’arrière. Si la visibilité avant est moin-
dre après avoir incliné le dossier de votre siège, utilisez un coussin
ferme et non glissant pour être assis plus haut ou relevez le siège si
cette option est disponible sur votre véhicule.
• Si votre volant est réglable en haut eur, inclinez-le vers le bas. Cela
vous permet d’orienter le coussin gonflable vers votre buste plutôt que
vers votre tête et vers votre cou.
Le siège doit être réglé de la manière recommandée ci-dessus par la
NHTSA, tout en gardant le contrôle des pédales et du volant, ainsi que la
vue sur les commandes du tableau de bord.
