AFETYSAFETY
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 Belts
All five seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts w\
ith
emergency locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you \
move
freely while keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sud\
den stop,
the retractor locks to restrain your body. The rear seat belts also have a lockable
retractor for use with child seats.
The front seats are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners to enha\
nce
safety. The tensioners automatically tighten the front seat belts during a mod\
erate
to severe frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not seve\
re 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\
hat
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.
•
Two 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 passengers always wear seat belts and wear them
properly

.
WARNING
High-Voltage System Precautions
The high-voltage system in this vehicle is designed with safety in mind.\
Follow these
instructions to promote safe operation.
Air intakeDo not cover the air intake. If the air intake is
obstructed, the High
voltage battery can become
too hot. The system may then limit the battery’s
output and cause the power system and 12-volt
battery charging system indicators to come on.
In Case of a Collision
•
Be careful of electric shock hazard: If a severe crash damages your vehicle’s
high-voltage system, there is a possibility of electrical shock due to e\
xpo

sed
high-voltage components or wires. If this happens, do not touch any of t\
he high-
voltage system components or any of its orange wires.
•
Avoid contact with high-voltage fluid: The High voltage battery contains a
flammable electrolyte that could leak as a result of a severe crash. A\
void any
skin or eye contact with the electrolyte, as it is corrosive. If you acc\
identally
touch it, flush your eyes or skin with a large quantity of water for a\
t least

five
minutes and seek medical attention immediately.
•
Use a fire extinguisher for an electrical fire: Attempting to extinguish an
electrical fire with water can be dangerous.
•
If the vehicle is damaged in a collision, have it repaired by a dealer.
Do not touch the high-voltage system. It can cause severe electrical sho\
ck. If
the high-voltage system needs maintenance or repair, have it performed by a
dealer
