above the buttons indicate
three for the highest setting
and one for the lowest. If the
front heated seats are on

The parts of the airbag that
come into contact with you
may be warm, but not too hot
to touch. There may be some
smoke and dust coming from
the vents in the deflated
airbags. Airbag inflation does
not prevent the driver from
seeing out of the windshield or
being able to steer the vehicle,
nor does it prevent people
from leaving the vehicle.
{Warning
When an airbag inflates,
there may be dust in the air.
This dust could cause
breathing problems for
people with a history of
asthma or other breathing
trouble. To avoid this,
everyone in the vehicle
should get out as soon as it
is safe to do so. If you have
breathing problems but
cannot get out of the vehicle
after an airbag inflates, then
get fresh air by opening a(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
window or a door. If you
experience breathing
problems following an airbag
deployment, you should seek
medical attention.
The vehicle has a feature that
may automatically unlock the
doors, turn on the interior
lamps and hazard warning
flashers, and shut off the fuel
system after the airbags
inflate. The feature may also
activate, without airbag
inflation, after an event that
exceeds a predetermined
threshold. After turning the
ignition off and then on again,
the fuel system will return to
normal operation; the doors
can be locked, the interior
lamps can be turned off, and
the hazard warning flashers
can be turned off using the
controls for those features.
If any of these systems are
damaged in the crash they
may not operate as normal.
{Warning
A crash severe enough to
inflate the airbags may have
also damaged important
functions in the vehicle, such
as the fuel system, brake
and steering systems, etc.
Even if the vehicle appears
to be drivable after a
moderate crash, there may
be concealed damage that
could make it difficult to
safely operate the vehicle.
Use caution if you should
attempt to restart the
engine after a crash has
occurred.
In many crashes severe
enough to inflate the airbag,
windshields are broken by
vehicle deformation. Additional
windshield breakage may also
occur from the front outboard
passenger airbag.
.Airbags are designed to
inflate only once. After an
airbag inflates, you will need

indicates the vehicle status.
When pointing to AUTO STOP,
the engine is off but the
vehicle is on and can move.
The engine could auto start at
any time. When the indicator
points to OFF, the vehicle
is off.
When the engine is on, the

minute (rpm). The tachometer
may vary by several hundred
rpm, during Auto Stop mode,
when the engine is shutting
off and restarting.

The fuel gauge may:
.Take a little more, or less
fuel to fill up than it
indicates. For example, the
gauge may have indicated
the tank is half full, but it
actually will take a little
more, or less than half the
tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
.Moves a little while turning a
corner, speeding up,
or braking.
.Take a few seconds to
stabilize after the ignition is
turned on and goes back to
empty when the ignition is
turned off.
These are normal conditions,
none of which indicate a
problem with the fuel gauge.
