Page 51: Driver And Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (Srs) - Airbag
Driver And Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) — 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.
Page 52 50 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity. This vehicle may also be equipped with side curtain airbags to protect the driver and passengers sitting next to a window.
Page 53 WARNING! Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers 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 inflat- ing.
Page 54 52 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE moderate to severe side collisions. In certain types of collisions, both the front and side airbags may be trig- gered. But even in collisions where the airbags work, you need the seat belts to keep you in the right position for the airbags to protect you properly.
Page 55 4. If your vehicle has side airbags, do not lean against the door; airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door. 5. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center.

Page 57 Airbag Warning Light either momentarily or continu- ously. A single chime will sound if the light comes on again after initial start up. WARNING! Ignoring the AIRBAG Warning Light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision.
Page 58 56 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE The ORC module determines if a side collision is severe enough to require the side airbags to inflate. The side airbag control module will not detect roll over, front or rear collisions. The ORC module monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON position.
Page 59 WARNING! Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front passenger seat assembly, its related compo- nents, or seat cover may inadvertently change the airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash. This could result in death or serious injury to the front seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in an acci- dent.
Page 60 58 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE As the airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-product of the process that generates the nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation. These airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat.
Page 61 Maintaining Your Airbag System WARNING! Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. You could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you. Do not modify the components or wiring, including adding any kind of badges or stickers to the steering wheel hub trim cover or the upper passenger side of the instrument panel.

Used for research purposes, such as to match data with a particular crash record in an aggregate database, provided confidentiality of personal data is thereafter preserved 2.
Page 64: Child Restraints
62 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Child Restraints Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time, including babies and children. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Page 65 Infants and Child Restraints 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 correct seat for your child.
Page 66 64 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE are older than one year. These child seats are also held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the LATCH child restraint anchorage system. The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weigh- ing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who are still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly.
Page 67 Standards. We also recommend that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it before you buy it. The restraint must be appropriate for your child’s weight and height. Check the label on the restraint for weight and height limits.
Page 68 66 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again. If you still can’t make the child restraint secure, try a different seating position. Buckle the child into the seat according to the child restraint manufacturer’s directions.
Page 69 Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchor- age system called LATCH. The LATCH system provides for the installation of the child restraint without using the vehicle seat belt. All three rear seating positions have lower anchorages that are capable of accommodating LATCH-compatible child seats having flexible, webbing- mounted lower attachments.
Page 70 68 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE provide add-on tether strap kits for some of their older products. Tether anchorage kits are also available for most older vehicles. Because the lower anchorages are to be introduced to passenger carrying vehicles over a period of years, child restraint systems having attachments for those anchor- ages will continue to have features for installation in vehicles using the lap or lap/shoulder belt.
Page 71 In general, you will first loosen the adjusters on the lower and tether straps so that you can more easily attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages. The tether strap should be routed under the center of the head restraint and attached to the tether anchor on the rear of the seat back.
Page 72: Engine Break-In Recommendations
70 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor position directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
Page 73: Safety Tips
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws, contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detri- mental and should be avoided. The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant.

Page 295: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms)
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle recom- mended cold placard pressure. The tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that when the outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will decrease.
Page 296: 294 Starting And Operating
294 STARTING AND OPERATING For example, your vehicle may have a recommended cold (parked for more than three hours) placard pressure of 30 psi (207 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the measured tire pressure is 27 psi (186 kPa), a temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tire pressure to approximately 26 psi (179 kPa).
Page 297: Base System
NOTE: The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire care and maintenance or to provide warning of a tire failure or condition. The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure gauge while adjusting your tire pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
