from unexpectedly opening a door. 2 Locking/Unlocking the Doors from the Inside P. 176

adjusted as far to the rear as possible while allowing the driver to control the
vehicle. Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious or fatal injury in a
crash. 2 Adjusting the Seats P. 210
• Adjust head restraints to the proper position. Head restraints are most effective
when the center of the head restraint alig ns with the center of your head. Taller
persons should adjust their head restraint to the highest position.2 Adjusting the Front and Rear Outer *

uu Child Safety u Protecting Child Passengers

Safe Driving • 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 an d cause serious or fatal injuries.
• Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be very
seriously injured in a crash.
• Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt correctly must be restrained in an
approved child seat that is properly secu red to the vehicle using either the seat
belt or the lower anchor s of the LATCH system.
• 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. 1 Protecting 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. 763
WARNING Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or
wrap one around their neck can result in

Controls Low Remote Signal Strength The vehicle transmits radio waves to locate the remote when locking/unlocking the
doors *
, and fuel fill door *
, opening the trunk *
, or to start the engine.
In the following cases, locking/unlocking the doors *
, and fuel fill door *
, opening the
trunk *
, or to start the engine may be inhi bited or operation may be unstable:
• Strong radio waves are being tra nsmitted by nearby equipment.
• You are carrying the remote together with telecommunications equipment,
laptop computers, cell phone s, or wireless devices.
• A metallic object is touchi ng or covering the remote. 1 Low Remote Signal Strength
Communication between the remote and the vehicle
consumes the remote’s battery.
Battery life is about two years, but this varies
depending on regularity of use.
The battery is consumed whenever the remote is
receiving strong radio waves. Avoid placing it near
electrical appliances such as televisions and personal
computers.
