SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light,
displayingin the instrument panel,
monitors the circuits for the air bag systems,
pretensioners and all related wiring.
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates for about 7 seconds and
then turns off. This means the SRS air bag
systems are operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
air bag and/or pretensioner systems need
servicing:
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-55
WARNING
.In an accident you could be thrown
from the vehicle through an open
moonroof. Always use seat belts
and child restraints.
. Do not allow anyone to stand up or
extend any portion of their body out
of the moonroof opening while the
vehicle is in motion or while the
moonroof is closing.
CAUTION
.Remove water drops, snow, ice or
sand from the moonroof before
opening.
. Do not place any heavy object on the
moonroof or surrounding area.
POWER MOONROOF
The moonroof only operates when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
The moonroof is operational for about 45
seconds, even if the ignition switch is pushed
to the OFF position. If the driver’s door or
the passenger’s door is opened during this
period of about 45 seconds, power to the
moonroof is canceled.
JVI0655X
Sunshade
The sunshade will open automatically when
the moonroof is opened. However, it must
be closed manually.
Tilting the moonroof
To tilt up, first close the moonroof, then
push the switch to the tilt up positionand
release it; it need not be held. To tilt down
the moonroof, push the switch to the tilt
down position
.
Sliding the moonroof
To fully open or close the moonroof, push
the switch to the openor closeposition
and release it; it need not be held. The roof

CAUTION
Always carry the mechanical key in-
stalled in the key.
VALET HAND-OFF
When you have to leave a key with a valet,
give them the Intelligent Key itself and keep
the mechanical key with you to protect your
belongings.
To prevent the glove box and the trunk from
being opened during valet hand-off, follow
the procedures below.
1. Push the trunk release power cancelswitch to the OFF (cancel) side.
2. Remove the mechanical key from the Intelligent Key.
3. Lock the glove box with the mechanical key.
4. Hand the Intelligent Key to the valet, keeping the mechanical key in your
pocket or bag for insertion into the
Intelligent Key when you retrieve your
vehicle.
See “Trunk lid” (P.3-22) and “Glove box”
(P.2-50).
WARNING
. Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping to
prevent persons from being thrown
from the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help
keep out intruders.
. Before opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
. To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not
leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets
unattended in your vehicle. Addition-
ally, the temperature inside a closed
vehicle on a warm day can quickly
become high enough to cause a sig-
nificant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.
SPA2457
LOCKING WITH MECHANICAL
KEY
To lock the driver’s door, turn the driver’s
door key cylinder to the front of the vehicle
.
To unlock the driver’s door, turn the driver’s
door key cylinder to the rear of the vehicle
.
To lock or unlock the other doors and the
trunk lid, use the Intelligent Key function
(one touch unlock sensor, request switch or
UNLOCK button). (See “Intelligent Key sys-
tem” (P.3-6).)
DOORS
5-4Starting and driving
WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent opera-
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
. Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously
injured. Keep the car locked, with the
rear seatback and trunk lid securely
latched when not in use, and prevent
children’s access to car keys.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
. Do not run the engine in closed spaces
such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the
engine running for any extended
length of time.
. Keep the trunk lid closed while driv-
ing, otherwise exhaust gases could be
drawn into the passenger compart-
ment. If you must drive with the
trunk lid open, follow these precau-
tions:
1) Open all the windows.
2) Set the air recirculation to off and the fan control to high to circulate
the air. .
If electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the trunk lid or
the body, follow the manufacturer’s
recommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
. The exhaust system and body should
be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:
— The vehicle is raised for service.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger
compartment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident invol- ving damage to the exhaust sys-
tem, underbody, or rear of the
vehicle.

FEB WITH PEDESTRIAN DETEC-
TION SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the FEB with pedestrian detection
system. Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system limita-
tions could result in serious injury or
death.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system cannot detect all vehicles or
pedestrian under all conditions.
. The radar sensor FEB with pedes-
trian detection system does not de-
tect the following objects:
— Small pedestrians (including small children), animals and cyclists.
— Pedestrians in wheelchairs or using mobile transport such as
scooters, child-operated toys, or
skateboards.
— Pedestrians who are seated or otherwise not in a full upright
standing or walking position.
— Oncoming vehicles — Crossing vehicles
— Obstacles on the roadside
. The FEB with pedestrian detection
system has some performance limita-
tions.
— If a stationary vehicle is in the vehicle’s path, the FEB with pe-
destrian detection system will not
function when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over approximately 50
MPH (80 km/h).
— For pedestrian detection, the FEB with pedestrian detection
system will not function when
the vehicle is driven at speeds
over approximately 37 MPH (60
km/h) or below approximately 6
MPH (10km/h).
. The FEB with pedestrian detection
system will not function for pedes-
trians in darkness or in tunnels, even
if there is street lighting in the area.
. For pedestrians, the FEB with pedes-
trian detection system will not issue
the first warning and will not push
the accelerator pedal up.
. The FEB with pedestrian detection
system may not function if the vehi-
cle ahead is narrow (for example a motorcycle).
. The FEB with pedestrian detection
system may not function if speed
difference between the two vehicles
is too small.
. The radar sensor FEB with pedes-
trian detection system may not func-
tion properly or detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
— Poor visibility (conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust storms,
sandstorms, and road spray from
other vehicles)
— Driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves.
— Driving on a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven dirt road.
— If dirt, ice, snow or other material is covering the radar sensor area.
— Interference by other radar sources.
— The camera area of windshield is fogged up, or covered with dirt,
water drops, ice, snow, etc.
— Strong light (for example, sun- light or high beams from oncom-
ing vehicles) enters the front
camera. Strong light causes the
area around the pedestrian to be
