CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
WARNING
Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or
off-highway motor vehicle can expose you to chemicals
including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and
lead, which are known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the
engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-
ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands
frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more information
go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.

WARNING
Installing an aftermarket On-Board Diag-

Operating tips:
•The power seat motor has an auto-reset
overload protection circuit. If the motor
stops during the seat adjustment, wait
30 seconds, then reactivate the switch.
•If the seat motor stops during seat adjust-
ment, check for obstructions. Remove the
obstruction before continuing.
•To avoid discharge of the battery, do not
operate the power seats for a long period
of time when the engine is not running.

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
The seat belt warning light reminds you to
fasten your seat belts. The light illuminates if
the engine is started, all doors are closed and
the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seat
belt is unfastened. It will remain illuminated
until the driver and/or front passenger fas-
tens their seat belt. A chime will sound once
the vehicle is in motion.
If the seat belt warning light flashes, together
with an intermittent warning tone, this means
that the driver or passenger has not fastened
their seat belt, and the speed of the vehicle is
exceeding 15 MPH (25 km/h).
For additional information, refer to "Warning
lights, indicator lights and audible reminders".
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT
WITH RETRACTOR
WARNING
•Every person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should use a seat belt at all times.
Children should be in the rear seats and
in an appropriate restraint.
•Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you could be
thrown into it and receive neck or other
serious injuries. You could also slide un-
der the lap belt and receive serious inter-
nal injuries.
•For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back and up-
right in the seat with both feet on the
floor and adjust the seat belt properly.
•Do not allow children to play with the
seat belts. Most seating positions are
equipped with Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the
seat belt becomes wrapped around a
child’s neck with the ALR mode acti-
vated, the child can be seriously injured
or killed if the seat belt retracts and be-
comes tight. This can occur even if the
vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat belt
to release the child. If the seat belt can-
not be unbuckled or is already unbuck-
led, release the child by cutting the seat
belt with a suitable tool (such as a knife
or scissors) to release the seat belt.
Fastening the seat belts
1. Adjust the seat. (See "Seats" earlier in this
section.)
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retrac-
tor and insert the tongue into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.

Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-13

Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate in
certain types of rollover collisions or near
rollovers. As a result, certain vehicle move-
ments (for example, during severe off-
roading) may cause the curtain air bags to
inflate.
The SRS is designed tosupplementthe crash
protection provided by the driver and front
passenger seat belts and is not a substitute
for them. Seat belts should always be cor-
rectly worn and the occupant seated a suit-
able distance away from the steering wheel,
instrument panel and front door finishers. For
additional information, see "Seat belts" earlier
in this section.
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON,
the air bag warning light will illuminate. The
air bag warning light will turn off within a
few seconds after the engine is started if the
system is operational. See "Warning lights,
indicator lights and audible reminders" for
further details.
