FOR SAFE DRIVING
Side airbags and side curtain airbags do not inflate How the system works
80J120
• Impact from the rear
80J110
• Vehicle rollover
In a frontal collision, the crash sensors will detect rapid deceleration, and if the con­troller judges that the deceleration rep­resents a severe frontal collision, the controller will trigger the infiators. If your vehicle is equipped with side airbags and side curtain airbags, crash sensors will detect a side collision, and if the controller judges that the side collision is severe enough, it will trigger the side airbag and side curtain airbag infiators. The infiators inflate the appropriate airbags with nitro­gen or argon gas. The infiated airbags pro­vide a cushion for your head (front airbags and side curtain airbags only) and upper body. The airbag inflates and defiates so quickly that you may not even realize that it has activated. The airbag will neither hin­der your view nor make it harder to exit the vehicle.
Airbags must infiate quickly and forcefully in order to reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable consequence of the quick infiation is that the airbag may irritate bare skin, such as the facial area against a front airbag. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to pre­vent skin irritation. Also, upon inflation, a loud noise will occur and some powder and smoke will be released. These condi­tions are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle. Be aware, however, that some airbag components may be hot for a while after infiation.

Exhaust gas warning
52D334
A WARNING
Avoid breathing exhaust gases. Exhaust gases contain carbon mon­oxide, a potentially lethal gas that is colorless and odorless. Since carbon monoxide is difficult to detect by itself, take the following precautions to help prevent carbon monoxide from entering your vehicle. • Do not leave the engine running in garages or other confined areas. (Continued)
1-49
A WARNING
(Continued) • Do not park with the engine run­ning for a long period of time, even i~ an open area. If it is necessary to s,t for a short time in a parked vehi­cle with the engine running, check that the air intake selector is set to "FRESH AIR" and the blower is at high speed. • Avoid operating the vehicle with the tailgate or trunk open. If it is necessary to do so, check that the sunroof (if equipped) and all win­dows are closed, and the blower is at high speed with the air intake selector set to "FRESH AIR". To allow proper operation of your vehicle's ventilation system, keep the air inlet grill in front of the wind­shield clear of snow, leaves or other obstructions at all times. • Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear of snow and other material to help reduce the buildup of exhaust gases under the vehicle. This is particularly important when parked in blizzard conditions. Have the exhaust system inspected periodically for damage and leak­age. Any damage or leakage should be repaired immediately.

BEFORE DRIVING

(1) LOCK (2) UNLOCK (3) Rear (4) Front
52RM20830
You can lock and unlock all doors (includ­ing the tailgate) simultaneously by using the key in the driver's door lock.
To lock all doors simultaneously, insert the key in the driver's door lock and turn the top of the key toward the front of the vehi­
cle once.
To unlock all doors simultaneously, insert the key in the driver's door lock and turn the top of the key toward the rear of the vehicle once.
2-3
To unlock the driver's door only, insert the key in that door lock and turn the top of the key toward the rear of the vehicle once.
NOTE: You can also lock or unlock all doors by operating the transmitter. Refer to "Keyless entry system transmitter (if equipped)" in this section.
Tailgate
A WARNING
Always check that the tailgate is closed and latched sec·urely. Com­pletely closing the tailgate helps pre­vent occupants from being thrown from the vehicle in the event of an accident. Completely closing it also helps keep exhaust gases from enter­ing the vehicle.

A WARNING
Always set the parking brake fully before leaving your vehicle or it may move, causing injury or damage. When parking, make sure the gear­shift lever for manual transmission vehicles is in 1st gear or "R" (Reverse) and the gearshift lever for automatic transmission vehicles is in "P" (Park). Remember, even though the transmission is in gear or in Park, you must set the parking brake fully.
A WARNING
When parking the vehicle in extremely cold weather, the following procedure should be used: 1) Set the parking brake. 2) Manual transmission -turn off the engine, then shift into reverse or first gear. Automatic transmission -shift into "P" (Park) and turn off the engine. 3) Get out of the vehicle and put chocks under the wheels. 4) Release the parking brake. When you return to your vehicle, first set the parking brake, and then remove the wheel chocks.
A WARNING
Do not leave cigarette lighters, spray cans, soft drink cans or plastic arti~ cles (such as glasses, CD case, etc.) in sun-heated vehicle. The tempera­ture inside the vehicle may cause as follows: Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can and may lead to a fire. The glasses, plastic cards or CD cases, etc. may deform or crack. Soft drink cans may fracture.
Parking brake reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind you to release the parking brake if you start the vehicle without fully releasing the parking brake. Check that the parking brake is fully released and the brake sys­tem warning light turns off.

Situations where the system may not activate properly Under the following situations, the system may not activate. When the dual sensor cannot detect a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of your vehicle Refer to "Handling dual sensor" in the "OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE" section. When you take evasive action with the steering wheel or accelerator pedal
Situations where the vehicle may not decelerate properly Under the following situations, the vehicle may not decelerate properly even when the system is activated. When the outside temperature is low, or when the temperature of the brake is low such as right after starting When the brake is overheating and the brake effect is deteriorated due to con­tinuing to travel on a downhill road When the brake effect is deteriorated due to passing over puddles or washing the vehicle When driving on the following roads -On sharp curves or extremely rough surfaces -On a steep slope When driving on the following slippery surfaces -Frozen or snow-covered surfaces -Over manholes or metal construction plates -Gravel When driving in a rainy day
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Situations where the system may acti­vate by chance Under the following situations, the dual sensor may judge that there is a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you, and the sys­tem may activate.
