Your Vehicle’s Safety Features
The following checklist will help you take an active role in protecting yourself and
your passengers.
1 Your Vehicle’s Safety Features
Your vehicle is equipped wi th many features that
work together to help protect you and your
passengers during a crash.
Some features do not require any action on your part.
These include a strong steel framework that forms a
safety cage around the passenger compartment,
front and rear crush zones, a collapsi ble steering
column, and tensioners th at tighten the front and
outer rear seat belts in a sufficient crash.
However, you and your passe ngers cannot take full
advantage of these features unless you remain seated
in the correct position and always wear your seat
belts. In fact, some safety features can contribute to
injuries if they are not used properly.

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 are closed and locked.
Locking the doors helps prevent an occupant from being ejected and an outsider
from unexpectedly opening a door.
2 Locking/Unlocking the Doors from the Inside P. 155
•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. 189
•Adjust head restraints to the proper position. Head restraints are most effective
when the center of the head restraint alig ns with the center of your head. Taller
persons should adjust their head restraint to the highest position.
2 Adjusting the Front Head Restraint Positions P. 195
•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. 51
•Protect children by using seat belts or child seats according to a child’s age,
height, and weight.
2 Child Safety P. 74
1Safety Checklist
If the door and/or trunk open message appears on
the driver information inte rface, a door and/or the
trunk is not completely cl osed. Close all doors and
the trunk tightly until the message disappears.

About Your Seat Belts
Seat belts are the single most effective safety device because they keep you
connected to the vehicle so that you can take advantage of many built-in safety
features. They also help keep you from being thrown against the inside of the
vehicle, against any passenger s, or out of the vehicle. When worn properly, seat
belts also keep your body properly positi oned in a crash so that you can take full
advantage of the additional prot ection provided by the airbags.
In addition, seat belts help protect you in almost every type of crash, including:
- frontal impacts
- side impacts
- rear impacts
- rollovers
■Lap/shoulder seat belts
All five seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts with emergency
locking retractors. In normal driving, the re tractor lets you move freely while keeping
some tension on the belt. During a collisio n or sudden stop, the retractor locks to
restrain your body.
The front passenger’s and rear seat belts al so have a lockable retractor for use with
child seats.
2 Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt P. 82
1About Your Seat Belts
If you extend the seat belt t oo quickly, it will lock in
place. If this happens, sli ghtly retract the seat belt,
then extend it slowly.
Seat belts cannot complete ly protect you in every
crash. But in most cases, seat belts can reduce your
risk of serious injury.
Most states and all Canadian provinces and territories
require you to wear seat belts.
3WARNING
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases
the chance of serious injury or death in a
crash, even though your vehicle has
airbags.
Be sure you and your passengers always
wear seat belts and wear them properly.

Safe Driving■Front seats
The seat belt system in cludes an indicator on
the instrument panel to remind the driver or a
front passenger or both to fasten their seat
belts.
If you set the power mode to ON and a seat
belt is not fastened, a beeper will sound and
the indicator will blink. After a few seconds,
the beeper will stop and the indicator will
come on and remain illuminated until the seat
belt is fastened.
When the vehicle is moving, the beeper will
sound and the indicator will blink for a while
until the seat belt is fastened.
Then, the beeper will stop and the indicator
will stay on.
■Seat Belt Reminder1 Seat Belt Reminder
The indicator will also co me on if a front passenger
does not fasten their seat be lt within six seconds after
the power mode is set to ON.
When no one is sitting in th e front passenger’s seat,
the indicator will not come on and the beeper will not
sound.
The indicator also may no t come on and the beeper
may not sound when the occupant is not heavy
enough to trigger the weight sensor. Such occupants
(e.g., infants and smaller children) should be moved
to the rear seat as a deploying front airbag likely will
injure or kill them. 2 Protecting Child Passengers P. 74
The driver information interface uses colors to aid the
driver in checking the st atus of the passengers.
For the front seating positions:
•Green indicates the seat belt is fastened.•An unfastened gray graphic indicates the seat belt
is not fastened and an occupant has not been
detected.
•An unfastened red graphic i ndicates the seat belt is
unfastened and an occupa nt has been detected.

■Rear seats
Your vehicle monitors rear seat belt use. The
driver information interface notifies you if any
of the rear seat belts are unfastened after they
were previously fastened.
In order to encourage th e driver to evaluate
rear seat belt usage, the display appears
when:
• Any of the rear passenger seat belts are
unfastened when the power mode is set to
ON.
• Any of the rear passengers fasten or
unfasten their seat belt.
The seat belt reminder indicator blinks and the
beeper sounds if any rear passenger seat belts
are unfastened while driving.1 Seat Belt Reminder
The system will not detect a passenger in the rear
seats who has not fastened the seat belt.
The driver should check the status of the rear
passengers’ seat belts at th e start of each trip and
each time a passenger is seated in the rear seats,
using the driver information interface as an aid.
An alert will sound if a pa ssenger in the rear seats
unfastens the seat belt whil e the vehicle is in motion
or if motion resumes wh ile the graphic is red.
The driver information interface uses colors to aid the
driver in checking the st atus of the passengers.
For the rear seating positions:
•Green indicates the seat belt is fastened.
•An unfastened gray graphic indicates the seat belt
has not been fastened recently.
•An unfastened red graphic indicates the seat belt
was unfastened recently.
The system does not monito r harnesses that are part
of a child seat, nor the anchors of the LATCH system.
While the system can inform you that a seat belt is
fastened, it cannot determine whether a child seat is
properly installed or used.

Safe DrivingThe front seats and the outer rear seats are equipped with automatic seat belt
tensioners to enhance safety.
The tensioners automatically tighten the front seat belts and the outer rear seat belts
during a moderate-to-severe frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not
severe enough to inflate the front airbags or the knee airbags.
■Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners1 Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners
The seat belt tensioners can only operate once.
If a tensioner is activated, the SRS indicator will come
on. Have a dealer replace the tensioner and
thoroughly inspect the seat belt system as it may not
offer protection in a subsequent crash.
During a moderate-to-severe side impact, the
tensioners on both sides of the vehicle also activate.
