CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the hood to close it.
WARNING!
•
Be sure the hood is fully latched
before driving your vehicle. If the
lid is not fully latched, it could open
when the vehicle is in motion and
block your vision. Failure to follow
this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
•
Gear shifting is always active and
may be performed even when one
or more doors, the hood or the
liftgate are open. Therefore, in these
conditions, take great care to avoid
moving the gearshift lever and so
accidentally engage gears.
Occupants Restraint
Systems
The listed occupants restraint systems
are some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle:
• Three-point seat belts (also called lap
shoulder belts) for the driver and all
passengers.
• Advanced front air bags for driver
and passenger.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC) for the driver and
passengers seated next to a window.
• Supplemental seat-mounted side air
bags.
• An energy-absorbing steering column
and steering wheel.
• Front seat belts incorporate dual
pretensioners that may enhance
occupant protection by managing the
energy created during an impact.
• All passengers seat belts include
Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR),
which lock the seat belt webbing into
position by extending the belt all the
way out and then adjusting the belt
to the desired length to restrain a
child seat or secure a large item in a
seat.
To carry children up to 12 years old or
under 1.5 m (5 ft) in height, you must
use adequate child restrain systems
Before Starting
that can be fixed with the three point
seat belts or the Isofix anchorages.
NOTE:
The advanced front air bags have a
multistage inflator design. This allows
the air bag to have different rates of
inflation based on the severity and
type of collision.
Please pay close attention to the
information in this section. It tells
you how to use your restraint system
properly, to keep you and your
passengers as safe as possible.
WARNING!
In an accident, all occupants can
suffer much greater injuries if not
properly buckled up. You can strike
the interior of your vehicle or other
occupants or you can be thrown out of
the vehicle. Always be sure you and
others in your vehicle are buckled up
properly. Buckle up even though you
are an excellent driver, even on short
trips. Someone on the road may be
a poor driver and cause an accident
that includes you. This can happen far
away from home or on your own
street.
