Why does the brake pedal 
pulsate slightly when 
applying the brakes?This can occur when the ABS activates, and does not indicate a 
problem. Apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal. Never 
pump the brake pedal.
Why do the doors lock 
after I unlocked the doors 
using a remote 
transmitter?If you do not open the doors within 30 seconds, the doors are 
relocked automatically for security.
Why does the beeper 
sound when I open the 
driver’s door?The beeper sounds when:
●The key is left in the ignition switch*.
●The power mode* is in ACCESSORY.
●The exterior lights are left on.
Why does the beeper 
sound when I start driving?The beeper sounds when the driver and/or front passenger are 
not wearing their seat belts.
Why do I hear a screeching 
sound when I apply the 
brake pedal?The brake pads may need to be replaced. Have your vehicle 
inspected by a dealer.

Safe DrivingThe seat belt system in cludes an indicator on 
the instrument panel to remind the driver or a 
front passenger or both to fasten their seat 
belts.
If the ignition switch is turned to ON 
(w*1 and 
a seat belt is not fast ened, a beeper will sound 
and the indicator will blink. After a few 
seconds, the beeper will stop and the 
indicator will come on and remain illuminated 
until the seat belt is fastened.
The beeper will periodically sound and the 
indicator will blink while the vehicle is moving 
until the seat belt is fastened.
*1: Models with the smart entry system have an  ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an 
ignition switch.
■Seat Belt Reminder1 Seat Belt Reminder
The indicator will also co me on if a front passenger 
does not fasten their seat belt within six seconds after 
the ignition switch is turned to ON

When no one is sitting in th e front passenger’s seat, 
the indicator will not come  on and the beeper will not 
sound. The indicator also  may not come on and the 
beeper may not sound when the occupant is not 
heavy enough to trigger th e weight sensor. Such 
occupants (e.g., infants and smaller children) should 
be moved to the rear seat  as a deploying front airbag 
likely will injure or kill them.

Safe Driving
The front, front side, and side curtain 
airbags are deployed according to the 
direction and severity of impact. Both side 
curtain airbags are deployed in a rollover. 
The airbag system includes:
aTwo SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) 
front airbags. The driver's airbag is stored 
in the center of the steering wheel; the 
front passenger's airbag is stored in the 
dashboard. Both are marked  SRS 
AIRBAG.
bTwo side airbags, one for the driver and 
one for a front passenger. The airbags are 
stored in the outer edges of the seat-
backs. Both are marked  SIDE AIRBAG.
cTwo side curtain ai rbags, one for each 
side of the vehicle. The airbags are stored 
in the ceiling, above the side windows. 
The front and rear pillars are marked 
SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG .
dAn electronic control unit that, when the 
vehicle is on, continually monitors 
information about the various impact 
sensors, seat and buckle sensors, rollover 
sensor, airbag activators, seat belt 
tensioners, and other vehicle 
information. During a crash event the 
unit can record such information.
eAutomatic front seat belt tensioners. In 
addition, the driver’s and front 
passenger’s seat belt buckles incorporate 
sensors that detect whether or not the 
belts are fastened.
fA driver’s seat position sensor. If the seat 
is too far forward, the airbag will inflate 
with less force.
gWeight sensors in the front passenger’s 
seat. The front passenger’s airbag will be 
turned off if the weight on the seat is 
approximately 65 lbs (29 kg) or less (the 
weight of an infant or small child).
hImpact sensors that can detect a 
moderate-to-severe front impact or side 
impact.
iAn indicator on the dashboard that alerts 
you that the front passenger’s front 
airbag has been turned off.
jAn indicator on the instrument panel that 
alerts you to a possible problem with your 
airbag system or seat belt tensioners.
kA rollover sensor that can detect if your 
vehicle is about to ro ll over and signal the 
control unit to deploy both side curtain 
airbags.

uuAirbags uFront Airbags (SRS)
50
Safe DrivingFront airbags are designed to inflate du ring moderate-to-severe frontal collisions. 
When the vehicle decelerates suddenly, the  sensors send information to the control 
unit which signals one or both front airbags to inflate.
A frontal collision can be either head-on or  angled between two vehicles, or when a 
vehicle crashes into a stationary  object, such as a concrete wall.
While your seat belt restrains your torso, the 
front airbag provides supplemental protection 
for your head and chest.
The front airbags deflate immediately so that 
they won't interfere with  the driver's visibility 
or the ability to steer or operate other 
controls.
The total time for inflation and deflation  is so fast that most occupants are not 
aware that the airbags deployed until th ey see them lying in front of them.
■Operation
■How the Front Airbags Work1How the Front Airbags Work
Although the driver's and fr ont passenger's airbags 
normally inflate within a spli t second of each other, it 
is possible for only one airbag to deploy. This can 
happen if the severity of a  collision is at the margin, 
or threshold, that determines whether or not the 
airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will 
provide sufficient protec tion, and the supplemental 
protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.
