Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorle\
ss,
odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your ve\
hicle and
follow the instructions set forth below, you will not accumulate dangerous levels
of carbon monoxide gas in the vehicle 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 hatch open, airflow can pull exhau\
st gas
into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive wi\
th the hatch
open, open all the windows and set the climate control system as shown b\
elow

.
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 system in the same manner if you sit in your \
p

arked
vehicle with the engine running.
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\
.
WARNING
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up with carbon mono\
xide gas.
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even when the garage \
door is
open, drive out of the garage immediately after starting the engine.
Seat Belts
A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags \
are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is \
equipped
with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts and
wear them properly.
Lap/Shoulder Seat BeltsBoth seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts with em\
ergency
locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you move freel\
y while
keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop, the\
retractor
locks to restrain your body.
The passenger’s seat belt has a lockable retractor that must be properly activated
when using a forward-facing child seat, should you choose to disregard o\
ur
recommendations and install one.
Both seats are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners to enhance s\
afety.
The tensioners automatically tighten the seat belts during a moderate to\
severe
frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not severe enough \
to inflate the
front airbags.
Proper Use of Seat BeltsFollow these guidelines for proper use:
•

All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in t\
ha
t
position for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduce the \
effectiveness of the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury \
in a
crash.
•

Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm\
or
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
•


T
wo people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be\
very
seriously injured in a crash.
•

Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improv\
e
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the pr\
otective
capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
•


No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt or one that do\
es not

appear to be working correctly. Using a seat belt that is not working properly
may not protect the occupant in a crash. Have a dealer check the belt as\
soon
as possible.
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of a serious injur\
y or
death in a crash, even though your vehicle has airbags.
Be sure you and your passenger always wear seat belts and wear them
properly.

vehicle.
Indicators briefly appear with each engine start and then go out. Red \
and amber
indicators are most critical. Blue and green indicators are used for gen\
eral
information.
Malfunction Indicators
These are the most critical indicators. If they come on and stay lit whi\
le driving or at
any other time, there may be a problem. See your dealer if necessary.
Brake system
• Brake fluid is low.
• The brake system has a problem.
Press the brake pedal lightly to check pedal pressure. If normal, check \
the brake fluid level when you stop. If abnormal, take immediate actio\
n. If
necessary, downshift the transmission to slow the vehicle using engine
braking. Have your vehicle repaired immediately.
Low oil pressure
Engine oil pressure is low. Stop in a safe place. Open the hood. Check the oil
level, and add oil if necessary (see page 96). If the indicator does n\
ot turn
off, have your vehicle repaired immediately.

The battery is not charging. Turn off all electrical items, but do not turn off
the vehicle to prevent further battery discharge. Have your vehicle repa\
ired
immediately.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

s.
Canada
U.S.
INSTRUMENT PANELMalfunction indicator lamp (check engine light)
The emissions control system may have a problem, or the fuel cap is loos\
e
or missing. If the indicator blinks, a
misfire in the engine’s cylinders is
detected. Stop in a safe place, and wait for the engine to cool down.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
There is a problem with the anti-lock brake system. Your vehicle still has
normal braking ability, but no anti-lock function.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (U.S. models only)
If the indicator blinks for one minute and then stays on, there is a pro\
blem
with the system.
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA
®)
There is a problem with the VSA system or hill start assist system.
Brake system
There is a problem with a braking system component or the electric parking
brake.
Electric power steering
There is a problem with the system. Stop in a safe place, and restart th\
e
vehicle.
IMA (Integrated Motor Assist)
There is a problem with the system. Avoid high speed driving and have your
vehicle repaired immediately.
High temperature
The engine coolant temperature is high. Drive slowly to prevent overheat\
ing.
If the indicator remains on, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe plac\
e (see
page 83).
Low temperature
The engine coolant temperature is low. If the indicator remains on after the
engine has reached normal operating temperature, there may be a problem \
with temperature sensors.
