Pregnant women should always wear their
seatbelt. Position the lap belt portion of a
combination lap and shoulder belt low
across the hips below the belly and worn
as tight as comfort allows. Position the
shoulder belt to cross the middle of the
shoulder and the center of the chest.
Seatbelt Locking Modes
WARNING: If your vehicle is
involved in a crash, have the seatbelts
and associated components inspected
as soon as possible. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.
All safety restraints in the vehicle are
combination lap and shoulder belts and
have vehicle sensitive locking mode. In
addition, the front outboard passenger and
rear seat seatbelts have the automatic
locking mode.
Vehicle Sensitive Mode
This is the normal retractor mode, which
allows free shoulder belt length
adjustment to your movements and
locking in response to vehicle movement.
For example, if the driver brakes suddenly
or turns a corner sharply, or the vehicle
receives an impact of about
5 mph
(8 km/h) or more, the combination
seatbelts lock to help reduce forward
movement of the driver and passengers.
In addition, the retractor is designed to lock
if you pull the webbing out too quickly. If
the seatbelt retractor locks, slowly lower
the height adjuster to allow the seatbelt
to retract. If the retractor does not unlock,
pull the seatbelt out slowly then feed a small length of webbing back toward the
stowed position. For rear seatbelts, recline
the rear seat backrest or push the seat
backrest cushion away from the seatbelt.
Feed a small length of webbing back
toward the stowed position.
Automatic Locking Mode
In this mode, the shoulder belt
automatically pre-locks. The belt still
retracts to remove any slack in the
shoulder belt. The automatic locking mode
is not available on the driver seatbelt.
When to Use the Automatic Locking
Mode
Use this mode any time a child safety seat,
except a booster, is installed in passenger
front or rear seating positions. Properly
restrain children 12 years old and under in
a rear seating position whenever possible.
See
Child Safety (page 18).
How to Disengage the Automatic
Locking Mode
Unbuckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the automatic
locking mode and activate the vehicle
sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
SEATBELT WARNING LAMP
AND INDICATOR CHIME This lamp illuminates and an
indicator chime will sound if the
driver seatbelt has not been
fastened when the vehicle's ignition is
turned on.

While the system is designed to help
reduce serious injuries, contact with a
deploying airbag may also cause abrasions
or swelling. Temporary hearing loss is also
a possibility as a result of the noise
associated with a deploying airbag.
Because airbags must inflate rapidly and
with considerable force, there is the risk of
death or serious injuries such as fractures,
facial and eye injuries or internal injuries,
particularly to occupants who are not
properly restrained or are otherwise out of
position at the time of airbag deployment.
Thus, it is extremely important that
occupants be properly restrained as far
away from the airbag module as possible
while maintaining vehicle control.
Routine maintenance of the airbags is not
required.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER
AIRBAGS
WARNING: Do not place your arms
on the airbag cover or through the
steering wheel. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury. WARNING: Keep the areas in front
of the airbags free from obstruction. Do
not affix anything to or over the airbag
covers. Objects could become projectiles
during airbag deployment or in a sudden
stop. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death. WARNING:
Airbags can kill or
injure a child in a child restraint. Never
place a rear-facing child restraint in front
of an active airbag. If you must use a
forward-facing child restraint in the front
seat, move the seat upon which the child
restraint is installed all the way back. The driver and front passenger airbags will
deploy during significant frontal and near
frontal crashes.
The driver and passenger front airbag
system consists of:
•
Driver and passenger airbag modules.
• Front passenger sensing system. · Crash sensors and monitoring
system with readiness indicator.
See Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator
(page 46).
Proper Driver and Front Passenger
Seating Adjustment WARNING:
National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
recommends a minimum distance of at
least
10 in (25 cm) between an
occupant's chest and the driver airbag
module.
To properly position yourself away from
the airbag:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you
can while still reaching the pedals
comfortably.
• Recline the seat slightly (one or two
degrees) from the upright position.

Note:
The system may limit the maximum
difference between driver and passenger
settings. Whenever you make an adjustment
that would result in a larger difference, both
settings change together.
Defrost
Press to distribute air through the
windshield air vents and de-mister. Air
distribution to the instrument panel and
footwell vents turns off. You can also use
this setting to defog and clear the
windshield of a thin covering of ice.
Max Defrost
Press to switch on defrost. The left-hand
and right-hand settings set to HI, air flows
through the windshield vents, and the fan
adjusts to the highest speed. You can also
use this setting to defog and clear the
windshield of a thin covering of ice. The
heated rear window also turns on when
you select maximum defrost.
Note: To prevent window fogging, you
cannot select recirculated air when
maximum defrost is on.
Fan Speed Control
Adjust the volume of air circulated in the
vehicle.
Power
Press to switch the system on and off.
When the system is off, it prevents outside
air from entering the vehicle.
Max A/C
Press for maximum cooling. The left-hand
and right-hand settings set to LO,
recirculated air flows through the
instrument panel vents, air conditioning
turns on and the fan adjusts to the highest
speed. A/C
Press the button to switch the air
conditioning on or off. Use air conditioning
with recirculated air to improve cooling
performance and efficiency.
Note:
In certain conditions (for example,
maximum defrost), the air conditioning
compressor may continue to operate even
though you switch off the air conditioning.
Right-hand Temperature Control
Adjusts the temperature setting on the
right-hand side.
Climate Controlled Seats
Press to cycle through the various climate
controlled seat settings and off. See
Climate Controlled Seats (page 122).
Auto
Press to switch on automatic operation,
then adjust the temperature control to
select the desired temperature. Fan speed,
air distribution, air conditioning operation,
and outside or recirculated air adjust to
heat or cool the vehicle to maintain the
desired temperature. You can also switch
off dual zone mode by pressing and
holding for more than two seconds.
Recirculated Air
Press to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. The air currently in the
passenger compartment recirculates. This
may reduce the time needed to cool the
interior (when used with A/C) and reduce
unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.
Note: Recirculated air may turn off (or
prevent you from switching on) in all air flow
modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk
of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on
and off in various air distribution control
combinations during hot weather to improve
cooling efficiency.
