How the system worksIn a frontal collision, the crash sensors will detect rapid deceleration, and if the control-ler judges that the deceleration represents asevere frontal crash, the controller will trig- ger the inflators. The inflators inflate the airbags with nitrogen or argon gas. The inflated air bags provide a cushion for yourhead and upper body. The air bag inflatesand deflates so quickly that you may noteven realize that it has activated. The airbag will neither hinder your view nor make itharder to exit the vehicle.
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully in order to reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable con-sequence of the quick inflation is that the airbag may irritate bare skin, such as the facialarea. Also, upon inflation, a loud noise willoccur and some powder and smoke will be released. These conditions are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle. Beaware, however, that some air bag compo-nents may be hot for a while after inflation.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper position for maximum protection when an airbag inflates. Adjust your seat as far back aspossible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your seat; sit upstraight; do not lean over the steering wheel or dashboard. Please refer to the “FrontSeat” section and the “Seat Belts and ChildRestraint Systems” section in this sectionfor details on proper seat and seat belt adjustments.

• The driver should not lean over thesteering wheel. The front passen- ger should not rest his or her body against the dashboard, or other- wise get too close to the dash-board. In these situations, the out- of-position occupant would be too close to an inflating air bag, andmay suffer severe injury.• Do not attach any objects to, orplace any objects over, the steeringwheel or dashboard. Do not place any objects between the air bag and the driver or front passenger.These objects may interfere with air bag operation or may be propelled by the air bag in the event of acrash. Either of these conditions may cause severe injury.

NOTE: It is normal for water to drip from the air conditioning system after use.
4) Make sure the hood is fully closed and latched.5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights, brake lights and horn for proper opera- tion.6) Adjust the seat and head restraint (if equipped). 7) Check the brake pedal and the parkingbrake lever. 8) Adjust the mirrors. 9) Make sure that you and all passengershave properly fastened your seat belts. 10)Make sure that all warning lights come on as the key is turned to the “ON” posi-tion. 11)Check all gauges. 12)Make sure that the BRAKE SYSTEMWARNING light turns off when the parking brake is released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel tank, perform the following under-hood checks:
1) Engine oil level 2) Coolant level3) Brake fluid level 4) Windshield washer fluid level 5) Battery solution level6) Hood latch operation Pull the hood release handle inside the vehicle. Make sure that you cannotopen the hood all the way without
releasing the secondary latch. Be sure to close the hood securely after check- ing for proper latch operation. See “Alllatches, hinges & locks” of “CHASSIS AND BODY” in the “Periodic Mainte- nance Schedule” in the “INSPECTIONAND MAINTENANCE” section for lubri- cation schedule.
Once a month, or each time you fill your fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge. Also check the tirepressure of the spare tire.
Engine Oil Consumption
It is normal for the engine to consume some engine oil during normal vehicle operation.
The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the viscosity of the oil, thequality of the oil and the conditions the vehicle is driven under. More oil is consumed during high-speeddriving and when there is frequent acceler- ation and deceleration. Under high loads, your engine also will consume more oil.A new engine also consumes more oil, since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned. New engines reach the normal level of oil consumption only after approximately 5000km (3000 miles) driving.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km (1 Qt. per 600 miles)
When judging the amount of oil consump- tion, note that the oil may become diluted and make it difficult to accurately judge thetrue oil level. As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km (600 miles) or more of driv-ing. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has notchanged. You should also be aware that the diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicleis subsequently driven at high speeds, such as on an expressway, making it appear that oil is excessively consumedafter high-speed driving.
WA R N I N G
Make sure the hood is fully closed and latched before driv ing. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly duringdriving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.

Running-in Catalytic Converter
80G106
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to minimize the amount of harmful pollutantsin your vehicle’s exhaust. Use of leaded fuel in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters is prohibited, because leaddeactivates the pollutant-reducing compo- nents of the catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life of the vehicle under normal usage and when unleaded fuel is used. No special mainte-nance is required on the converter. How- ever, it is very important to keep the engine properly tuned. Engine misfiring, whichcan result from an improperly tuned engine, may cause overheating of the cat- alyst. This may result in permanent heatdamage to the catalyst and other vehicle components.
WA R N I N G
• Wear Your Seat Belts at All Times. Even though air bags are equippedat the front seating positions, the driver and all passengers should be properly restrained at all times,using the seat belts provided. Refer to the “Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems” section forinstructions on proper use of the seat belts. • Never drive while under the influ-ence of alcohol or other drugs. Alcohol and drugs can seriously impair your ability to drive safely,greatly increasing the risk of injury to yourself and others. You should also avoid driving when you aretired, sick, irritated, or under stress.
NOTICE
The future performance and reliabil- ity of the engine depends on the care and restraint exercised during its early life. It is especially important toobserve the following precautions during the initial 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle operation.• After starting, do not race the engine. Warm it up gradually. • Avoid prolonged vehicle operationat a constant speed. Moving parts will break in better if you vary your speed.• Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid full throttle starts. • Avoid hard braking, especiallyduring the first 320 km (200 miles) of driving. • Do not drive slowly with thetransaxle in a high gear. • Drive the vehicle at moderate engine speeds.• Do not tow a trailer during the first 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle oper- ation.

Corrosion Prevention
It is important to take good care of your vehicle to protect it from corrosion. Listedbelow are instructions for how to maintain your vehicle to prevent corrosion. Please read and follow these instructions carefully.
Important Information About Corrosion
Common causes of corrosion 1) Accumulation of road salt, dirt, mois- ture, or chemicals in hard-to-reachareas of the vehicle underbody or frame. 2) Chipping, scratches and any damage totreated or painted metal surfaces resulting from minor accidents or abra- sion by stones and gravel.
Environmental conditions which accel- erate corrosion1) Road salt, dust control chemicals, sea air or industrial pollution will all acceler- ate the corrosion of metal.2) High humidity will increase the rate of corrosion particularly when the tem- perature range is just above the freez-ing point. 3) Moisture in certain areas of a vehicle for an extended period of time may pro-mote corrosion even though other body sections may be completely dry.
4) High temperatures will cause an accel- erated rate of corrosion to parts of the vehicle which are not well ventilated topermit quick drying.
This information illustrates the necessity of keeping your vehicle (particularly the underbody) as clean and dry as possible. It is equally important to repair any damageto the paint or protective coatings as soon as possible.
How to Help Prevent Corrosion
Wash your vehicle frequentlyThe best way to preserve the finish on your vehicle and to help avoid corrosion is tokeep it clean with frequent washing. Wash your vehicle at least once during the winter and once immediately after the win-ter. Keep your vehicle, particularly the underside, as clean and dry as possible. If you frequently drive on salted roads, yourvehicle should be washed at least once a month during the winter. If you live near the ocean, your vehicle should be washed atleast once a month throughout the year.
For washing instructions, refer to the “Vehi- cle Cleaning” section.
Remove foreign ma terial depositsForeign material such as salts, chemicals, road oil or tar, tree sap, bird droppings andindustrial fall-out may damage the finish of your vehicle if it is left on painted surfaces. Remove these types of deposits as quicklyas possible. If these deposits are difficult to wash off, an additional cleaner may be required. Be sure that any cleaner you use
is not harmful to painted surfaces and is specifically intended for your purposes. Fol- low the manufacturer’s directions when using these special cleaners.
Repair finish damage Carefully examine your vehicle for damage to the painted surfaces. Should you findany chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately to prevent corrosion from starting. If the chips or scratches havegone through to the bare metal, have a qualified body shop make the repair.
Keep passenger and luggage compart- ments cleanMoisture, dirt or mud can accumulate under the floor mats and may cause corrosion. Occasionally, check under these mats toensure that this area is clean and dry. More frequent checks are necessary if the vehicle is used off road or in wet weather.Certain cargos such as chemicals, fertiliz- ers, cleaners, salts, etc. are extremely cor- rosive by nature. These products should betransported in sealed containers. If a spill or leak does occur, clean and dry the area immediately.
Store your vehicle in a dry, well-venti- lated area Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorlyventilated area. If you often wash your vehicle in the garage or if you frequently drive it in when wet, your garage may bedamp. The high humidity in the garage may cause or accelerate corrosion. A wet vehicle may corrode even in a heatedgarage if the ventilation is poor.
