Safety features of your vehicle
Air bag non-inflation conditions
In certain low-speed collisions, theair bags may not deploy. The air
bags are designed not to deploy in
such cases because they may not
provide benefits beyond the pro-
tection of the seat belts in such col-
lisions. Air bags are not designed to inflate
in rear collisions, because occu-
pants are moved backward by the
force of the impact. In this case,
inflated air bags would not be able
to provide any additional benefit. Front air bags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, because
occupants move to the direction of
the collision, and thus in side
impacts, frontal air bag deployment
would not provide additional occu-
pant protection.

Closing the fuel filler lid
1. To install the cap, turn it clockwise
until it “clicks” once. This indicates
that the cap is securely tightened.
2. Close the fuel filler lid and push it in lightly making sure that it is
securely closed.
✽ ✽NOTICE - Refueling
Do not "top off" after the nozzle
automatically shuts off when refuel-
ing. If pressurized fuel sprays out, it
can cover your clothes or skin and
subject you to the risk of fire and
burns. Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap is
venting fuel or if you hear a hissing
sound, wait until the condition stops
before completely removing the cap.
✽ ✽NOTICE
Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an accident.
Emergency fuel filler lid release
If the fuel filler lid does not open
using the remote fuel filler lid
release, you can open it manually.
Remove the panel in the cargo area.
Pull the handle out slightly.
In this case, slowly open the fuel tank
cap, because the fuel tank may be
highly pressurized. If fuel leaks out,
or if air hisses out, wait until it disap-
pears, open the fuel tank cap, and
slowly refuel the vehicle. If you quick-
ly pour fuel into the fuel tank, the fuel
may overflow out of the fuel tank.
CAUTION
Do not pull the handle exces-
sively, otherwise the luggagecompartment area trim orrelease handle may be damaged.
