yellow blue xii ✍ NOTES.
1- yellow blue 1-1 Section 1 Seats and Restraint Systems Here you’ll find information about the seats in your vehicle and how to use your safety belts properly . Y ou can also learn about some things you should not do with air bags and safety belts.
yellow blue 1-2 Seats and Seat Controls This part tells you about the seats -- how to adjust them, and also about reclining seatbacks and seatback latches. Manual Seats Pull up on the lever in front of the seat to unlock it. Slide the seat to where you want it.
yellow blue 1-3 Power Seat (Option) The switch for the power seats is located on the side of each seat, near the base. Different parts of the power seat control move dif ferent parts of the seat. T o move the seat forward or rearward, move the control to the front or to the back.
yellow blue 1-4 Sport Seat (Option) In addition to the power seat control, there are three other switches that help you change the shape of the seat. There are two lumbar supports for the middle (A) and lower (B) back. There’ s also a side bolster switch (C) that adjusts the sides of the seat around you to give you more lateral support.
yellow blue 1-5 But don’t have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is moving. CAUTION: Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job when you’re r eclined like this.
yellow blue 1-6 Seatback Latches Both seatbacks fold forward to give you access to the rear area. T o fold a seatback forward, lift this latch, which is located on top of the backside of the seat, and pull the seatback forward. The seatback will lock down in this position.
yellow blue 1-7 Safety Belts: They’re for Everyone This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly . It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts. And it explains the air bag system. CAUTION: Don’t let anyone ride where he or she can’t wear a safety belt properly .
yellow blue 1-8 Y our vehicle has a light that comes on as a reminder to buckle up. (See “Safety Belt Reminder Light” in the Index.) In most states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts. Here’ s why: They work. Y ou never know if you’ll be in a crash.
yellow blue 1-9 Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider doesn’t stop..
yellow blue 1-10 The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield ... or the instrument panel ....
yellow blue 1-1 1 or the safety belts! W ith safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. Y ou get more time to stop. Y ou stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces. That’ s why safety belts make such good sense. Here Ar e Questions Many People Ask About Safety Belts -- and the Answers Q: W on’t I be trapped in the vehicle after an accident if I’m wearing a safety belt? A: Y ou could be -- whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not.
yellow blue 1-12 Q: If I’m a good driver , and I never drive far from home, why should I wear safety belts? A: Y ou may be an excellent driver , but if you’re in an accident -- even one that isn’t your fault -- you and your passenger can be hurt.
yellow blue 1-13 3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Don’t let it get twisted. The lap - shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt across you very quickly . If this happens, let the belt go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you more slowly .
yellow blue 1-14 The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen.
yellow blue 1-15 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It won’t give nearly as much protection this way . CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury .
yellow blue 1-16 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The belt is buckled in the wrong place. CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be ther e, not at the pelvic bones.
yellow blue 1-17 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder at all times. CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury .
yellow blue 1-18 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The belt is twisted across the body . CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you wouldn’t have the full width of the belt to spread impact for ces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly , or ask your dealer to fix it.
yellow blue 1-19 T o unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle. The belt should go back out of the way . Before you close the door , be sure the belt is out of the way . If you slam the door on it, you can damage both the belt and your vehicle.
yellow blue 1-20 The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother . When a safety belt is worn properly , it’ s more likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts effective is wearing them properly .
yellow blue 1-21 CAUTION: Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the blink of an eye. If you’re too close to an inflating air bag, as you would be if you were leaning forward, it could seriously injure you. This is true even with Next Generation frontal air bags.
yellow blue 1-22 How the Air Bag System W orks Where ar e the air bags? The driver ’ s air bag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The passenger ’ s air bag is in the instrument panel on the passenger ’ s side.
yellow blue 1-23 CAUTION: If something is between an occupant and an air bag, the bag might not inflate properly or it might force the object into that person. The path of an inflating air bag must be kept clear . Don’t put anything between an occupant and an air bag, and don’t attach or put anything on the steering wheel hub or on or near any other air bag covering.
yellow blue 1-24 How does an air bag restrain? In moderate to severe frontal or near - frontal collisions, even belted occupants can contact the steering wheel or the instrument panel. Air bags supplement the protection provided by safety belts. Air bags distribute the force of the impact more evenly over the occupant’ s upper body , stopping the occupant more gradually .
yellow blue 1-25 Y our vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic module, which records information about the air bag system. The module records information about the readiness of the system, when the sensors are activated and driver ’ s safety belt usage at deployment.
yellow blue 1-26 Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes infants and all children smaller than adult size. Neither the distance to be traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints.
yellow blue 1-27 Infants need complete support, including support for the head and neck. This is necessary because an infant’ s neck is weak and its head weighs so much compared with the rest of its body . In a frontal crash, an infant in a rear - facing restraint settles into the restraint, so the crash forces can be distributed across the strongest part of the infant’ s body , the back and shoulders.
yellow blue 1-28 An infant car bed (A) is a special bed made for use in a motor vehicle. It’ s an infant restraint system designed to restrain or position a child on a continuous flat surface. W ith an infant car bed, make sure that the infant’ s head rests toward the center of the vehicle.
yellow blue 1-29.
yellow blue 1-30 A forward - facing child restraint (C - E) positions a child upright to face forward in the vehicle. These forward - facing restraints are designed to help protect children who are from 20 to 40 lbs. (9 to 18 kg) and about 26 to 40 inches (66 to 102 cm) in height, or up to around four years of age.
yellow blue 1-31 A booster seat (F , G) is designed for children who are about 40 to 60 lbs., or even up to 80 lbs. (18 to 27 kg, or even up to 36 kg), and about four to eight years of age. A booster seat is designed to improve the fit of the vehicle’ s safety belt system.
yellow blue 1-32 T op Strap Canadian law requires that forward facing child restraints have a top strap, and that the strap be anchored. If your child restraint has a top strap, it should be anchored. V ehicles First Sold in the United States: W as your vehicle first sold in the United States? If so, don’t use a child restraint with a top strap in your vehicle because there’ s no place to anchor a top strap.
yellow blue 1-33 Securing a Child Restraint in the Passenger Seat Position Y our vehicle has a passenger air bag. Never put a rear - facing child restraint in this vehicle. Here’ s why: CAUTION: A child in a rear - facing child restraint can be seriously injur ed or killed if the passenger’ s air bag inflates, even though your vehicle has Next Generation frontal air bags.
yellow blue 1-34 Y ou’ll be using the lap - shoulder belt. See the earlier part about the top strap if the child restraint has one. Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and as the instructions say .
yellow blue 1-35 5. Pull the rest of the lap belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock. 6. T o tighten the belt, feed the lap belt back into the retractor while you push down on the child restraint. Y ou may find it helpful to use your knee to push down on the child restraint as you tighten the belt.
yellow blue 1-36 Larger Children Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the vehicle’ s safety belts. Children who aren’t buckled up can be thrown out in a crash.
yellow blue 1-37 CAUTION: Never do this. Here two childr en are wearing the same belt. The belt can’t properly spr ead the impact forces. In a crash, the two children can be crushed together and seriously injur ed. A belt must be used by only one person at a time.
yellow blue 1-38 CAUTION: Never do this. Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a lap - shoulder belt, but the shoulder part is behind the child. If the child wears the belt in this way , in a crash the child might slide under the belt. The belt’ s force would then be applied right on the child’ s abdomen.
yellow blue 1-39 Safety Belt Extender If the vehicle’ s safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it. But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your dealer will order you an extender . It’ s free. When you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear , so the extender will be long enough for you.
yellow blue 1-40 Replacing Restraint System Parts After a Crash If you’ve had a crash, do you need new belts? After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary . But if the belts were stretched, as they would be if worn during a more severe crash, then you need new belts.
2- yellow blue 2-1 Section 2 Featur es and Controls Here you can learn about the many standard and optional features on your vehicle, and information on starting, shifting and braking. Also explained are the instrument panel and the warning systems that tell you if everything is working properly -- and what to do if you have a problem.
yellow blue 2-2 Keys CAUTION: Leaving childr en in a vehicle with the ignition key is dangerous for many r easons. A child or others could be badly injured or even killed. They could operate power windows or other controls or even make the vehicle move.
yellow blue 2-3 One key is used for the ignition, the doors and all other locks. When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer gives the first owner a key and a bar coded tag. Both the key and the tag are attached to a key ring. The heavy paper tag has a code on it that tells your dealer or a qualified locksmith how to make an extra key .
yellow blue 2-4 Door Locks CAUTION: Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Passengers -- especially childr en -- can easily open the doors and fall out. When a door is locked, the inside handle won’t open it. Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
yellow blue 2-5 Power Door Locks Press the power door unlock/lock switch on either door to unlock or lock both doors at once. Inadvertent Lockout Protection If you press the power door lock switch when a door is open and a key is in the ignition, a chime will sound.

yellow blue 2-14 Resynchronizing Y our T ransmitter Y our RF A system uses a continually changing code for increased security . Normally , the receiver in your vehicle will keep track of this changing code. If your vehicle does not respond to your transmitter , do the following to determine what’ s wrong: 1.
yellow blue 2-15 The key fob transmitter will also release the hatch/trunk lid. See “Remote Function Actuation System” in the Index. If your vehicle is equipped with a hatch and you have lost battery power , use the manual release cables to open the hatch.
yellow blue 2-16 CAUTION: It can be dangerous to drive with the hatch/trunk lid open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can come into your vehicle. Y ou can’t see or smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death. If you must drive with the hatch/trunk lid open or if electrical wiring or other cable connections must pass through the seal between the body and the hatch/trunk lid: Make sure all other windows ar e shut.
yellow blue 2-17 Theft V ehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your vehicle has a number of theft - deterrent features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it impossible to steal. However , there are ways you can help.
yellow blue 2-18 Arming the System Use one of the following items listed here to arm the system: Press the LOCK button on the key fob transmitter , W alk out of range with the passive switch on, or Open the door . (The SECURITY light should flash.) Lock the door with the power door lock switch.

4- yellow blue 4-1 Section 4 Y our Driving and the Road Here you’ll find information about driving on different kinds of roads and in varying weather conditions.
yellow blue 4-2 Defensive Driving The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively . Please start with a very important safety device in your vehicle: Buckle up. (See “Safety Belts” in the Index.) Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.
yellow blue 4-3 Drunken Driving Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is a national tragedy . It’ s the number one contributor to the highway death toll, claiming thousands of victims every year . Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to drive a vehicle: Judgment Muscular Coordination V ision Attentiveness.
yellow blue 4-4 It’ s the amount of alcohol that counts. For example, if the same person drank three double martinis (3 ounces or 90 ml of liquor each) within an hour , the person’ s BAC would be close to 0.12 percent. A person who consumes food just before or during drinking will have a somewhat lower BAC level.
yellow blue 4-5 The body takes about an hour to rid itself of the alcohol in one drink. No amount of coffee or number of cold showers will speed that up. “I’ll be careful” isn’t the right answer . What if there’ s an emergency , a need to take sudden action, as when a child darts into the street? A person with even a moderate BAC might not be able to react quickly enough to avoid the collision.
yellow blue 4-6 Control of a V ehicle Y ou have three systems that make your vehicle go where you want it to go. They are the brakes, the steering and the accelerator . All three systems have to do their work at the places where the tires meet the road.
yellow blue 4-7 A void needless heavy braking. Some people drive in spurts -- heavy acceleration followed by heavy braking -- rather than keeping pace with traffic. This is a mistake. Y our brakes may not have time to cool between hard stops. Y our brakes will wear out much faster if you do a lot of heavy braking.
yellow blue 4-8 Here’ s how anti - lock works. Let’ s say the road is wet. Y ou’re driving safely . Suddenly an animal jumps out in front of you. Y ou slam on the brakes. Here’ s what happens with ABS. A computer senses that wheels are slowing down.
yellow blue 4-9 Remember: Anti - lock doesn’t change the time you need to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops.
yellow blue 4-10 When this light and the SER VICE TRACTION SYSTEM message are on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly . The TCS system automatically comes on whenever you start your vehicle. T o limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road conditions, you should always leave the system on.
yellow blue 4-1 1 The SER VICE ACTIVE HNDLG message will be displayed, the instrument cluster light will come on, and a chime will sound to let you know if there is a problem with the system. See “Driver Information Center Messages” in the Index for more information.
yellow blue 4-12 Braking in Emergencies W ith anti - lock, you can steer and brake at the same time. In many emergencies, steering can help you more than even the very best braking. Steering Power Steering If you lose power steering assist because the engine stops or the system is not functioning, you can steer but it will take much more effort.
yellow blue 4-13 If you need to reduce your speed as you approach a curve, do it before you enter the curve, while your front wheels are straight ahead. T ry to adjust your speed so you can “drive” through the curve. Maintain a reasonable, steady speed.
yellow blue 4-14 Off - Road Recovery Y ou may find that your right wheels have dropped off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy . Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way , steer so that your vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement.
yellow blue 4-15 Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to pass while you’re awaiting an opportunity . For one thing, following too closely reduces your area of vision, especially if you’re following a larger vehicle. Also, you won’t have adequate space if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or stops.
yellow blue 4-16 Loss of Control Let’ s review what driving experts say about what happens when the three control systems (brakes, steering and acceleration) don’t have enough friction where the tires meet the road to do what the driver has asked.
yellow blue 4-17 Driving at Night Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One reason is that some drivers are likely to be impaired -- by alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue. Here are some tips on night driving. Drive defensively .
yellow blue 4-18 Y ou can be temporarily blinded by approaching headlamps. It can take a second or two, or even several seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who doesn’t lower the high beams, or a vehicle with misaimed headlamps), slow down a little.
yellow blue 4-19 Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road, you can’t stop, accelerate or turn as well because your tire - to - road traction isn’t as good as on dry roads. And, if your tires don’t have much tread left, you’ll get even less traction.
yellow blue 4-20 CAUTION: W et brakes can cause accidents. They won’t work as well in a quick stop and may cause pulling to one side. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle. After driving through a large puddle of water or a car wash, apply your brake pedal lightly until your brakes work normally .
yellow blue 4-21 City Driving One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on them. Y ou’ll want to watch out for what the other drivers are doing and pay attention to traffic signals. Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: Know the best way to get to where you are going.
yellow blue 4-22 Freeway Driving Mile for mile, freeways (also called thruways, parkways, expressways, turnpikes or superhighways) are the safest of all roads. But they have their own special rules. The most important advice on freeway driving is: Keep up with traffic and keep to the right.
yellow blue 4-23 Just before you leave the lane, glance quickly over your shoulder to make sure there isn’t another vehicle in your “blind” spot. Once you are moving on the freeway , make certain you allow a reasonable following distance. Expect to move slightly slower at night.
yellow blue 4-24 Highway Hypnosis Is there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”? Or is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel? Call it highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or whatever . There is something about an easy stretch of road with the same scenery , along with the hum of the tires on the road, the drone of the engine, and the rush of the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy .
yellow blue 4-25 If you drive regularly in steep country , or if you’re planning to visit there, here are some tips that can make your trips safer and more enjoyable. Keep your vehicle in good shape. Check all fluid levels and also the brakes, tires, cooling system and transmission.
yellow blue 4-26 Winter Driving Here are some tips for winter driving: Have your vehicle in good shape for winter . Y ou may want to put winter emergency supplies in your vehicle. Include an ice scraper , a small brush or broom, a supply of windshield washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing, a small shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth and a couple of reflective warning triangles.
yellow blue 4-27 Driving on Snow or Ice Most of the time, those places where your tires meet the road probably have good traction. However , if there is snow or ice between your tires and the road, you can have a very slippery situation. Y ou’ll have a lot less traction or “grip” and will need to be very careful.
yellow blue 4-28 Y our anti - lock brakes improve your vehicle’ s stability when you make a hard stop on a slippery road. Even though you have the anti - lock braking system, you’ll want to begin stopping sooner than you would on dry pavement. See “Anti - Lock” in the Index.
yellow blue 4-29 If you are stopped by heavy snow , you could be in a serious situation. Y ou should probably stay with your vehicle unless you know for sure that you are near help and you can hike through the snow .
