.Make sure the child’s head will be
properly supported by the booster seat
or vehicle seat. The seatback must be at
or above the center of the child’s ears.
For example, if a low back booster seat
is chosen, the vehicle seatback must be
at or above the center of the child’s ears.
If the seatback is lower than the center
of the child’s ears, a high back booster
seat
should be used.

adjustments to be sure the booster seat
is compatible with your child. Always
follow all recommended procedures.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is

3. The booster seat should be positioned on the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint or headrest to obtain the
correct booster seat fit. If the head
restraint or headrest is removed, store
it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint or headrest when the
booster seat is removed. See “Head
restraints/headrests” (P.1-8) for head
restraint or headrest adjustment, re-
moval and installation information.

adjustable head restraint or headrest
and it is interfering with the proper booster seat fit, try another seating
position or a different booster seat.

to follow the booster seat manufac-
turer’s instructions for adjusting the seat
belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt toward the retractor to take up
extra slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the top, middle portion
of the child’s shoulder. Be sure to follow
the booster seat manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for adjusting the seat belt routing.

CAUTION
Always carry the mechanical key in-
stalled in the key.
VALET HAND-OFF
When you have to leave a key with a valet,
give them the Intelligent Key itself and keep
the mechanical key with you to protect your
belongings.
To prevent the glove box and the trunk from
being opened during valet hand-off, follow
the procedures below.
1. Push the trunk release power cancelswitch to the OFF (cancel) side.
2. Remove the mechanical key from the Intelligent Key.
3. Lock the glove box and the trunk pass- through with the mechanical key.
4. Hand the Intelligent Key to the valet, keeping the mechanical key in your
pocket or bag for insertion into the
Intelligent Key when you retrieve your
vehicle.
See “Trunk lid” (P.3-22), “Glove box” (P.2-
51) and “Trunk pass-through” (P.1-7).
WARNING
. Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping to
prevent persons from being thrown
from the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help
keep out intruders.
. Before opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
. To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not
leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets
unattended in your vehicle. Addition-
ally, the temperature inside a closed
vehicle on a warm day can quickly
become high enough to cause a sig-
nificant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.

WARNING
.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or ser-
iously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop engine and
do not smoke or allow open flames or
sparks near the vehicle when refuel-
ing.
. Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts
off automatically. Continued refuel-
ing may cause fuel overflow, resulting
in fuel spray and possibly a fire.
. Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It
could also cause the Malfunction

WARNING
.
Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose control
of your vehicle and cause an accident.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and com-
fort. The driver’s air bag inflates with
great force. If you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways or
out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive serious or
fatal injuries from the air bag if you
are up against it when it inflates.
Always sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat
belts.
