Safety CheckList
For the safety of you and your passengers, make a habit of checking these items
each time before you drive.
• After everyone has entered the vehicle, be sure all doors and the tailgate are
closed and locked. Locking the doors and the tailgate helps prevent an occupant
from being ejected and an outsider from unexpectedly opening a door or the
tailgate.
2 Locking/Unlocking the Doors from the Inside P. 166
•Adjust your seat to a position suitable for driving. Be sure the front seats are
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 Seats P. 222
•Adjust head restraints to the proper position. Head restraints are most effective
when the center of the head restraint aligns with the center of your head. Taller
persons should adjust their head restraint to the highest position.
2 Adjusting the Front and Second Row Outer and Third Row Outer Head
Restraints Positions P. 235
•Always wear your seat belt, and make sure you wear it properly. Confirm that any
passengers are properly belted as well.
2 Fastening a Seat Belt P. 43
•Protect children by using seat belts or child seats according to a child’s age, height
and weight.

uuAirbags uFront Airbags (SRS)
Safe DrivingThe airbags have advanced features to he lp reduce the likelihood of airbag related
injuries to smaller occupants. The driver’s advanced airbag system includes a
seat position sensor.
Based on information from this sensor and the
severity of the impact, the advanced airbag
system determines the optimal deployment of
the driver’s airbag.
■Advanced Airbags1 Advanced Airbags
If there is a problem with the driver’s seat position
sensor or the passenger’s s eat weight sensors, the
SRS indicator will come on, and in the event of a
crash, the airbag will deploy (regardless of the driver’s
seating position or passenger’s occupant
classification) with a fo rce corresponding to the
severity of the impact. 2 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
Indicator P. 63
For the advanced front airbags to work properly,
confirm that:
•The occupant is sitting in an upright position,
wearing the seat belt prope rly and the seat back is
not excessively reclined.
•The occupant is not leaning against the door or
center console.
•The occupant’s feet are plac ed on the floor in front
of them.
•There are no objects ha nging from the front
passenger’s seat.
•Only small, lightweight objec ts are in the seat back
pocket.
•The steering wheel and passenger’s side dashboard

The front passenger’s ad vanced airbag system
has weight sensors. The sensors are used for
occupant classification to activate or
deactivate the front passenger’s airbag.
For adult size occupants, the system will
automatically activate the front passenger’s
airbag. If a small adult sits in the front
passenger seat and the system does not
recognize him/her as an adult, see
2Passenger Front Airbag Off Indicator P. 64
We advise against allowing a child age 12 or
under to ride in the front passenger’s seat.
However, if you do allow a small child or
infant to ride in the front passenger’s seat, the
system is designed to automatically deactivate
the front passenger’s airbag. Do not let a
small child or infant ride in the front
passenger’s seat if the airbag does not
automatically deactivate.

2. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat, then
attach the child seat to the lower anchors
according to the instructions that came
with the child seat.
u When installing the child seat, make sure
that the lower anchors are not
obstructed by the seat belt or any other
object.
To install a LATCH-compatible child seat in
the second row center seat, remove the
covers on each lower end of the seat-back
by pulling on the handles.1 Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat
Installing a LATCH-compatible child seat in the
third row center seat
Each outer third row seat is equipped with a pair of
lower anchors which are used to secure a LATCH-
compatible child seat. The third row center seat,
however, is not equipped with anchors of any kind.
The inner and outer anchors are spaced apart at a
standard distance of 11 inches (280 mm). The
distance between the two inner anchors is 16.0
inches (406.2 mm).
LATCH-compatible restraint systems that are fitted
with rigid-type attachments cannot be installed in the
third row center seat. However, a system fitted with
flexible-type attachments can be installed in the third
row center seat, provided that the manufacturer’s
instructions for that system permit the use of the
inner anchors with the stated spacing.
Before seating a child, make sure that the system is
properly attached to both the lower anchors and
tether anchors.
3WARNING
Do not use the lower inner anchors of the
outer third row seats to secure a LATCH-
compatible child seat to the third row
center seat, unless the manufacturer’s
instructions for that system permit the use
of inner anchors with the stated spacing.
