Your vehicle has seat
belts and other safety
features that help
protect you and your pas-
sengers in an accident.Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or deathin various types of cras
hes. For added protec-
tion during a severe fr
ontal collision, your
vehicle has a Supplemen
tal Restraint System
(SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen- gers. The seats, head restraints, and doorlocks also are safety equipment, which must be used correctly. Always check the follow
ing before you drive:
 That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt. That infants and small children are prop- erly secured in an appropriate child restraint system in
the rear seat.
 That all doors are fully closed and locked.  That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor ve
hicle accidents. How-
ever, you can help reduce the risk of injury or death by following the
instructions in this
manual.

WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of
an accident or sud-
den stop, all seatbacks should be kept inthe upright position while the vehicle is in motion. Seat belt performance during an accidentcan be adversely affect
ed if the seatbacks
are reclined. The more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt perfor-mance will be adversely affected. If the seat belt is not proper
ly positioned against
the body during an accident, there isincreased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious
injury or death.

ight variations in the
seat temperature may be felt while using theheated seats. This is caused by the operation of the heater’s internal thermostat and does not indicate
a malfunction.
Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins, needles, or
other pointed objects
into the seat. Do not place a blanket,
cushion, or other
insulating material on the seat while using the heater; doing so can

ment to overheat. When cleaning the seat, do not use benzine, kerosene, gasoli
ne, alcohol, or other organic
solvents; doing so can cause damage not only to the surface of the seat, but also to the heater. If water or any other liquid is spilled on the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly beforeattempting to use the heater. Turn the heater off immediately if it a
ppears to be malfunc-

h in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, always make sure the head restraints are installed and proper
ly positioned when
