THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 41 Seat Belts and Pregnant Women We recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pregnancies. Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug across the hips as possible. Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take the force if there is a collision.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Driver and Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System - Airbag This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel. The passenger’s front airbag is mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove compartment. The words SRS AIRBAG are embossed on the airbag covers.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 43 WARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deployment. or attempt to manually open them. You may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along with seat belts, and pretensioners, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee blockers to provide improved protection for the driver and front passenger. Left and right side curtain airbags also work with seat belts to improve occupant protection. The seat belts are designed to protect you in many types of collisions. The front airbags deploy only in moderate to severe frontal collisions.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 45 If a child from 1 to 12 years old must ride in the front passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child restraint. Refer to the section on Child Restraint. You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sure that you are using it properly. 2. All occupants should wear their lap and shoulder belts properly. 3.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE “The Front Airbag System” consists of the following: How The Airbag Systems Work • Airbag Control Module (with integrated impact sensor) • The airbag control module determines if an impact is severe enough to require the airbags to inflate. Based on the level of collision severity, the control module determines the proper rate of inflation. The front airbag inflators are designed to provide different rates of airbag inflation.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 47 The airbag control module sends a message to the instrument cluster to turn on the AIRBAG light in the instrument panel for 6 to 8 seconds when the ignition switch is first turned ON, then turns the light off. If the airbag control module detects a malfunction in any part of the system, the airbag light will turn on either momentarily or continuously.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE the crash side of the vehicle. A quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the side curtain airbag. The inflating side curtain airbag pushes the outside edge of the headliner out of the way and inflates (in about the same time it takes to blink your eyes). A properly belted and seated occupant is less likely to be injured by the force of the airbag or crash event.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 49 • Airbag Control Module • Interconnecting Wiring If An Airbag Deployment Occurs The airbag systems are designed to deploy when the airbag control modules detect a moderate-to-severe collision, to help restrain the driver and front passenger, and then immediately deflate. NOTE: A collision that is not severe enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system. This does not mean something is wrong with the airbag system.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags and seat belt pretensioners replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Enhanced Accident Response If the airbags and seat belt pertensioners deploy after an impact and the electrical system remains functional, vehicles equipped with power door locks will unlock automatically.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 51 Airbag Light You will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. While the airbag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately. Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times — babies and children, too.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child’s size.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 53 The tether anchors are located on the rear surface of the seat.

The tether anchors are located in the rear surface of the seat. When using the tether anchorages in the second row seating position, ensure that the strap is routed over the top of the seatback and under the head restraint between the head restraint posts.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 55 Infants and Children There are different sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child seat owner’s manual to ensure you have the right seat for your child. Use the restraint that is correct for your child: • Safety experts recommend that children ride rearward-facing in the vehicle until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 9 kg (20 lbs).
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE • The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing more than 18 kg (40 lbs), but who are still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly. If the child can not sit with knees bent over the vehicles seat cushion while the child’s back is against the seat back, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat. The child and booster seat are held in the vehicle by the lap/ shoulder belt.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 57 that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it, before you buy it. • Buckle the child into the seat according to the child restraint manufacturer’s directions. • The restraint must be appropriate for your child’s weight and height. Check the label on the restraint for weight and height limits. • When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE In general, you will first loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can more easily attach the hook or connector to the lower anchorages and tether anchorages. Then tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat. Child restraint systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 59 Children Too Large For Booster Seats Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably, and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback, should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat. Transporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet. An unrestrained pet could be thrown about and possibly injured, or injure a passenger during panic braking or in a collision.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. The recommended viscosity and quality grades are shown in Section 7 of this manual.

TIRES—GENERAL INFORMATION Tire Pressure Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Three primary areas are affected by improper tire pressure: 1.
STARTING AND OPERATING 2. Economy— Improper inflation pressures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread life resulting in a need for earlier tire replacement. Underinflation also increases tire rolling resistance and results in higher fuel consumption. maximum loaded vehicle condition. These pressure conditions will be found in the “Supplemental Tire Pressure Information” section of this manual. 3.
STARTING AND OPERATING 235 check tire pressure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation. Radial tires may look properly inflated even when they are underinflated. Check tire pressures more often if subject to a wide range of outdoor temperatures, as tire pressures vary with temperature changes. CAUTION! Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature change.
STARTING AND OPERATING Tire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or conditions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation pressure is very important. Increased tire pressure and reduced vehicle loading may be required for high speed vehicle operation.
