Quick Reference Guide
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.

Fastening a Seat Belt
After adjusting a front seat to the proper  position, and while sitting upright and well 
back in the seat:
2 Adjusting the Seats  P. 165
1.Pull the seat belt out slowly.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then 
tug on the belt to make sure the buckle is 
secure.
u Make sure that the belt is not twisted or 
caught on anything.
1Fastening a Seat Belt
No one should sit in a seat  with an inoperative seat 
belt or one that does not  appear to be working 
correctly. Using a seat be lt that is not working 
properly may not protect the occupant in a crash. 
Have a dealer check the  belt as soon as possible.
Never insert any foreign obj ects into the buckle or 
retractor mechanism.
Pull out slowly.

uuChild Safety uProtecting Child Passengers
Safe Driving
• Any child who is too small to wear a seat  belt correctly must be restrained in an 
approved child seat that is  properly secured to the vehicle using either the lap belt 
portion of the lap/shoulder belt or  the lower anchors of the LATCH system.
• Never hold a child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them in the 
event of a collision.
• Never put a seat belt over yourself and  a child. During a crash, the belt would 
likely press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries.
• Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be very 
seriously injured in a crash.
• Do not allow children to operate the  doors, windows or seat adjustments.
• Do not leave children in the vehicle unattended, especially in hot weather when 
the inside of the vehicle can get hot enough to kill them. They could also activate 
vehicle controls causing it to move unexpectedly.1Protecting Child Passengers
To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle 
and allow the seat belt to wind up all the way.
To remind you of the pa ssenger's front airbag 
hazards and child safety,  your vehicle has warning 
labels on the dashboard (U.S. models) and on the 
front visors. Please read and follow the instructions 
on these labels. 2 Safety Labels  P. 73
3WARNING
Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or 
wrap one around their neck can result in 
serious injury or death.
Instruct children not to play with any seat 
belt and make sure any unused seat belt a 
child can reach is buckled, fully retracted, 
and locked.

uuChild Safety uSafety of Infants and Small Children
Safe Driving
Safety of Infants  and Small Children
An infant must be properly restrained in  a rear-facing, reclining child seat until the 
infant reaches the seat manufacturer’s weig ht or height limit for the seat, and the 
infant is at least one year old. Many expe rts recommend use of a rear-facing seat for 
a child up to two years old if the child’s he ight and weight are appropriate for a rear-
facing seat.
■Positioning a rear-facing child seat
Child seats must be placed and secured in a 
rear seating position.
When properly installed, a rear-facing child  seat may prevent the driver or a front 
passenger from moving their seat all the way back, or from locking their seat-back 
in the desired position.
It can also interfere with pr oper operation of the passenger’s advanced front airbag 
system.
2 Airbags  P. 46
If this occurs, we recommend that you install the child seat directly behind the front 
passenger’s seat, move the seat as far fo rward as needed, and leave it unoccupied. 
Or, you may wish to get a sm aller rear-facing child seat.
■Protecting Infants1Protecting Infants
Rear-facing child seats should  never be installed in a 
forward facing position.
Always refer to the child seat manufacturer’s 
instructions before installation.
3WARNING
Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front 
seat can result in serious injury  or death 
during a crash.
Always place a rear-fac ing child seat in the 
rear seat, not the front.
