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.

bumper: Buzzer beeps intermit-
tently.
When an object is 24 in. to 12 in. (60 cm to 31 cm) from the rear

Features of your vehicle
Air intake control
The air intake control is used to
select the outside (fresh) air position
or recirculated air position.
To change the air intake control posi-
tion, press the control button.Recirculated air position
With the recirculated airposition selected, air
from the passenger
compartment will be
drawn through the heat-
ing system and heated
or cooled according to
the function selected.
Outside (fresh) air position With the outside (fresh)air position selected, air
enters the vehicle from
outside and is heated or
cooled according to the
function selected.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
the recirculated air position (without
air conditioning selected) may cause
fogging of the windshield and side
windows. In addition, prolonged use
of the air conditioning with the recircu-
lated air position selected will result in
excessively dry air in the passenger
compartment. Continuous use of the
recirculated air within with result in a
musty or stale smell within the pas-
senger compartment.
Sunroof inside air recirculation (if equipped)
The outside (fresh) air position is
automatically selected, when the
sunroof is opened.
When you select the recirculated air
position, the system maintains the
recirculated air position for 3 minutes
and then automatically converts to
the outside (fresh) air position.
When the sunroof is closed, the air
intake position will return to the orig-
inal position that was selected.
WARNING- Reduced visi-
bility
Continued use of the climate
control system in the recirculat-
ed air position may allow
humidity to increase inside the
vehicle which may fog the glass
and obscure visibility.
