Safety system of your vehicle
This section describes how to use the
seat belts properly. It also describes
some of the things not to do when
using seat belts.
Seat belt safety precautions
Always fasten your seat belt and
make sure all passengers have fas-
tened their seat belts before starting
any trip. Air bags (if equipped) are
designed to supplement the seat belt
as an additional safety device, but
they are not a substitute. Most coun-
tries require all occupants of a vehicle
to wear seat belts.
SEAT BELTS
Seat belts must be used by ALL
passengers whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. Take the following
precautions when adjusting and
wearing seat belts:
•ALWAYS properly restrain
children under age 13 in the
rear seats.
•NEVER allow children to ride
in the front passenger seat. If
a child age 13 or older must be
seated in the front seat, move
the seat as far back as possi-
ble and properly restrain them
in the seat.
•NEVER allow an infant or child
to be carried on an occupant’s
lap.
•NEVER ride with the seatback
reclined when the vehicle is
moving.
•Do not allow children to share
a seat or seat belt.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•Do not wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back.
•Never wear a seat belt over
fragile objects. If there is a
sudden stop or impact, the
seat belt can damage it.
•Do not use the seat belt if it is
twisted. A twisted seat belt
will not protect you properly
in an accident.
•Do not use a seat belt if the
webbing or hardware is dam-
aged.
•Do not latch the seat belt into
the buckles of other seats.
•NEVER unfasten the seat belt
while driving. This may cause
loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident.
•Make sure there is nothing in
the buckle interfering with the
seat belt latch mechanism.
This may prevent the seat belt
from fastening securely.

2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch
into the buckle. Listen for the dis-
tinct “click” sound.
Information
Position the release button so that it is
easy to access in case of an emergency.3. 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.
4. Push and pull on the Child
Restraint System to confirm that
the seat belt is holding it firmly in
place.
If your CRS manufacturer instructs or
recommends you use a ISOFIX top-
tether anchorage with the lap/shoul-
der belt, see page 2-41.To remove the Child Restraint System,
press the release button on the buckle
and then pull the lap/shoulder belt out
of the restraint and allow the seat belt
to retract fully

Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the
following:
• All filler caps in engine compart-
ment must be correctly installed.
• Gloves, rags or any other com-
bustible material must be removed
from the engine compartment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to
prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the hood halfway and let it
drop. Make sure that it locks into
place.
•Before closing the hood,
ensure all obstructions are
removed from around hood
opening.
•Always double check to be
sure that the hood is firmly
latched before driving away. If
it is not latched, the hood
could open while the vehicle
is being driven, causing a
total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.
•Do not move the vehicle with
the hood in the raised posi-
tion, as vision is obstructed,
which might result in an acci-
dent, and the hood could fall
or be damaged.
WARNING
Support rod
•Grasp the support rod in the
area wrapped in rubber. The
rubber will help prevent you
from being burned by hot
metal when the engine is hot.
•The support rod must be
inserted completely into the
hole provided whenever you
inspect the engine compart-
ment. This will prevent the
hood from falling and possi-
bly injuring you.

Information
To prevent damage to the trunk lift
cylinders and the attached hardware,
always close the trunk before driving.
In cold and wet climates, trunk
lock and trunk mechanisms may
not work properly due to freezing
conditions.
Smart trunk (if equipped)
On a vehicle equipped with a smart
key, the trunk can be opened using
the Smart Trunk system.
NOTICE
i
•NEVER allow anyone to occu-
py the trunk of the vehicle at
any time. If the trunk is par-
tially or totally latched and the
person is unable to get out,
serious injury or death could
occur due to lack of ventila-
tion, exhaust fumes and rapid
heat build-up, or because of
exposure to cold weather con-
ditions. The trunk is also a
highly dangerous location in
the event of a crash because it
is not a protected occupant
space but is a part of the vehi-
cle’s crush zone.
•Your vehicle should be kept
locked and keys should be
kept out of the reach of chil-
dren. Parents should teach
their children about the dan-
gers of playing in trunks.
•Use the release lever for
emergencies only.

Information
If the fuel filler door does not open
because ice has formed around it, tap
lightly or push on the door to break
the ice and release the door. Do not
pry on the door. If necessary, spray
around the door with an approved de-
icer fluid (do not use radiator anti-
freeze) or move the vehicle to a warm
place and allow the ice to melt.
Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it
clockwise until it “clicks” one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is
latched securely.i
Gasoline is highly flammable
and explosive. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
•Read and follow all warnings
posted at the gas station.
•Before refueling, note the
location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,
at the gas station.
•Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate the
potential build-up of static
electricity by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas
source, with your bare hand.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
•Do not use cellular phones
while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
and cause a fire.
•Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing. You can generate a build-
up of static electricity by touch-
ing, rubbing or sliding against
any item or fabric capable of
producing static electricity.
Static electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapors causing a
fire. If you must re-enter the
vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially danger-
ous static electricity discharge
by touching a metal part of the
vehicle, away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle or other gasoline
source, with your bare hand.
