GETTING STARTED
•
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an air bag. A deploying passen-
ger front air bag can cause death or serious injury to a child 12 years or younger,
including a child in a rear-facing child restraint.
•
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
Seat Belt Systems
Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver, even on short trips. Someone on the
road may be a poor driver and could cause a collision that includes you. This can happen
far away from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of inju-
ries in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown from the
vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by strik-
ing the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert)
Driver And Passenger BeltAlert (If Equipped)
BeltAlert is a feature intended to remind the driver and outboard front seat passen-
ger (if equipped with outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert) to buckle their seat belts.
The Belt Alert feature is active whenever the ignition switch is in the AVV/START or
MAR/ON/RUN position.
Initial Indication
If the driver is unbuckled when the ignition switch is first in the AVV/START or MAR/
ON/RUN position, a chime will signal for a few seconds. If the driver or outboard front
seat passenger (if equipped with outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert) is unbuckled
when the ignition switch is first in the AVV/START or MAR/ON/RUN position the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will turn on and remain on until both outboard front seat belts are
buckled. The outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert is not active when an outboard
front passenger seat is unoccupied.
