Seats and Restraints 71
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

{Warning
Before driving and
occasionally during a trip,
check that cargo is securely
fastened, rests evenly
between the cross rails and
does not block the vehicle's
lamps or windows. Never
load cargo directly on the
roof of the vehicle or allow
cargo to hang over the rear
or sides of the vehicle.
Never load cargo without
first properly installing cross
rails and other accessories
designed to carry cargo.
Personal injury, death or
damage to the vehicle or
other property may occur.
If driving for a long distance,
on rough roads, or at high
speeds, occasionally stop the
vehicle to make sure the cargo
remains in its place.
Cargo Weight Limits
Do not exceed the maximum
cargo weight for the roof rack
system, including the weight
of the cross rails and any
other accessories used to
carry the cargo such as bike
racks or roof boxes. The
maximum cargo weight that
can be loaded onto the roof
rack system is 100 kg (220 lb)
or the weight designated in
the instructions that came
with the cross rails or other
roof rack accessories,
whichever is less.
{Warning
Never load the roof rack
with more weight than
specified in this section.
Loading cargo on the roof
rack will make the vehicle's
center of gravity higher. To
avoid losing control of the
vehicle, avoid overloading,
high speeds, sudden starts,
sharp turns, sudden braking, (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
or abrupt maneuvers when
carrying cargo on the
roof rack.
The weight of any cargo
carried on the roof rack
system must be included in
calculating the loaded weight
of the vehicle. Do not exceed
the maximum vehicle capacity
when loading the vehicle,
including cargo carried on
the roof rack system and
passengers and cargo carried
in the vehicle. For more
information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see
Vehicle Load Limits 0242.

Compass
The vehicle may have a
compass display on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). The
compass receives its heading
and other information from
the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna,
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC), and vehicle
speed information.
The compass system is
designed to operate for a
certain number of miles or
degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass
display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in
an open area where it can
receive a GPS signal. The
compass system will
automatically determine when
a GPS signal is restored and
provide a heading again.
