The

monitors
the
readiness
of the
electronic
parts
of the
system
whenever
the
ignition
switch
is
in
the
“ON”
or
“ST
ART” position.
These
include
all
of
the
items listed above and all related wiring. The
pre-tensioner
seat
belt
system
will
oper
-
ate
only
when
the
ignition
switch
is
in
the
“ON”

When
the
seat
belt
pre-tensioners
activate,
some
smoke
is released
and
a loud
noise
will
be
heard.
The
smoke
is not
harmful,
but
care
should
be
taken
not
to intentionally
inhale
it,
as
it may
cause
some
temporary
irritation
to
people with respiratory problems.
The
pre-tensioners
activate
in
the
event
of
a
moderate-to-severe
frontal
or
side
impact,
even
if the
seat
belt
is not
being
worn.
The
seat
belt
pre-tensioners
may
not
activate
in
certain
types
of
collisions,
even
though
the
vehi
cle
may
appea
r to be
severely
damaged.
Such
non-activation
does
not
mean
some-
thing
is wrong
with
the
seat
belt
pre-tensioner
system,
but
rather
that
the
collision
forces
were
not
severe
enough

When

an
appropriate
child

always
be
used.
This
is required
by law in the U.S. and Canada.Child
restraint
systems
specifically
designed
for
infants
and
small
children
are
offered
by
several
manufacturers.
Choose
only
a child
restraint
system
with
a label
certifying
that
it
complies
with
Federal
Motor
Vehicle
Safety
Standard
213
(FMVSS
213)
or Motor
Vehicle
Restraint
Systems
and
Booster
Seats
Safety
Regulations
(RSSR).
Look
for
the
manufac-
turer
’s statement
of
compliance
on
the
box
and child restraint system itself. The
child
restraint
system
should
be
appropri-
ate
for
your
child’
s weight
and
height,
and
should properly fit your vehicle’
s seat.

form
an

is designed
to
supplement
the
primary
protection
of
the
driver
’s seat

system.
It can
reduce

The
EDR
is designed
to record
data
related
to
vehicle
dynamics
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
oper
atin
g;
Whether
or
not
the
driver
and
passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;How
far
(if
at all)
the
driver
was
depress-
ing
the
accelerator
and/or
brake
pedal;
and,How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These
data
can
help
provide
a better
under
-
standing
of
the
circumstances
in
which
crashes
and
injuries
occur
.
To read
data
recorded
by
an
EDR,
special
equipment
is required,
and
access
to the
vehi-
cle
or
the
EDR
is needed.
In
addition
to
the
vehicle
manufacture
r, other
parties,
such
as
law
enforcement,
that
have
the
special
equip-
ment,
can
read
the
information
if they
have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.

when
the

is
sensed
to
be
less
than
approximately
66

In
this
case,
the
