Safety system of your vehicle
If you continue not to fasten the seat
belt and you drive over a certain
speed, the seat belt warning chime
will sound for approximately 100 sec-
onds and the corresponding warning
light will blink.
The warning will start again if the
seat belt is unfastened while driving.
Information
• You can find the front passenger's seat belt warning light on the center
fascia panel.
• Although the front passenger seat is not occupied, the seat belt warning
light will illuminate for 6 seconds.
• The front passenger's seat belt warning may operate when luggage
is placed on the front passenger seat.
Seat Belt Restraint System
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
The 3-point seatbelts are installed
both on the front seats and on the
rear seats. During normal driving
situations, the 3-point seatbelt
does not operate the Emergency
Locking Retractor. It rather natural-
ly extends along with passenger's
easy motion, while holding passen-
ger's body in position.
However, the Emergency Locking
Retractor (ELR) automatically
operates in abrupt stopping, sharp
turning, or collision.
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) The Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) is to provide the child
restraint system with better protec-
tion. The front passenger's seat
and the rear seats are equipped
with the Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR). You can use the
Automatic Locking Retractor mode
during normal driving situations.
When the child restraint system is
installed, switch the system to the
ALR mode.
i
The front passenger's seat belt
warning light does not properly
operate, if the front passenger
sits in an improper position. The
front passenger should follow
the instruction to properly fas-
ten the seat belt.

3. Pull the shoulder portion of theseat belt all the way out. When the
shoulder portion of the seat belt is
fully extended, it will shift the
retractor to the "Automatic
Locking" (child restraint) mode.
4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion of the seat belt to retract and listen
for an audible "clicking" or "ratch-
eting" sound. This indicates that
the retractor is in the "Automatic
Locking" mode. If no distinct
sound is heard, repeat steps 3
and 4. 5. Remove as much slack from the
belt as possible by pushing down
on the child restraint system while
feeding the shoulder belt back into
the retractor.
6. Push and pull on the child restraint system to confirm that the seat
belt is holding it firmly in place. If it
is not, release the seat belt and
repeat steps 2 through 6.
7. Double check that the retractor is in the "Automatic Locking" mode
by attempting to pull more of the
seat belt out of the retractor. If you
cannot, the retractor is in the
"Automatic Locking" mode.
If your CRS manufacturer instructs or
recommends you to use a tether
anchor with the lap/shoulder belt,
refer to the previous pages for more
information.
When the seat belt is allowed to
retract to its fully stowed position,
the retractor will automatically
switch from the "Automatic
Locking" mode to the emergency
lock mode for normal adult usage.

Safety system of your vehicle
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and front passen-
gers with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt system
alone. The SRS uses sensors to
gather information about the driver’s
and front passenger's seat belt
usage and impact severity.
The seat belt buckle sensors deter-
mine if the driver and front passen-
ger's seat belts are fastened. These
sensors provide the ability to control
the SRS deployment based on
whether or not the seat belts are fas-
tened, and how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability
to control the air bag inflation within
two levels. A first stage level is pro-
vided for moderate-severity impacts.
A second stage level is provided for
more severe impacts.
According to the impact severity, and
seat belt usage, the SRS Control
Module (SRSCM) controls the air
bag inflation. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
front air bags, take the following
precautions:
Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags,
while still maintaining control
of the vehicle.
Never lean against the door or center console.
Do not allow the front passen- ger to place their feet or legs
on the dashboard.
No objects should be placed over or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the
front passenger's panel above
the glove box. Such objects
could cause harm if the vehi-
cle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bags
to deploy.

There are some conditions that can
cause changes to the vehicle mag-
nets, such as installing a ski rack or
a CB antenna. Body repair work on
the vehicle can also cause changes
to the vehicle's magnetic field. In
these situations, the compass will
need to be re-calibrated to quickly
correct these changes.
If you need to recalibrate the com-
pass:
1. Press and hold the Control Buttonfor more than 6 seconds. When
the compass memory is cleared, a
"C" will appear in the display.
2. Drive the vehicle in 2 complete cir- cles at less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Integrated HomeLink®Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink®Wireless Control
System can replace up to three
hand-held radio-frequency (RF)
transmitters with a single built-in
device. This innovative feature will
learn the radio frequency codes of
most current transmitters to operate
devices such as gate operators,
garage door openers, entry door
locks, security systems, even home
lighting. Both standard and rolling
code-equipped transmitters can be
programmed by following the out-
lined procedures.
Additional HomeLink
®information
can be found at: www.homelink.com,
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex
or by calling 1-800-355-3515.
Retain the original transmitter of the
RF device you are programming for
use in other vehicles as well as for
future HomeLink
®programming. It is
also suggested that upon the sale of
the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®buttons be erased for
security purposes. Before programming HomeLink
®
to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure people and
objects are out of the way of the
device to prevent potential harm
or damage. Do not use the
HomeLink
®with any garage door
opener that lacks the safety stop
and reverse features required by
U.S. federal safety standards (this
includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April
1, 1982). A garage door that can-
not detect an object - signaling
the door to stop and reverse -
does not meet current U.S. feder-
al safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without
these features increases the risk
of serious injury or death.
