Page 35: Lap/Shoulder Belts
Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver, even on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver and 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 injuries in a collision.
Page 36 36 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! • Wearing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body. These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best.

Page 45: Driver And Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System - Airbag
WARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision. Only use when the lap belt is not long enough when it is worn low and snug, and in the recommended seating positions.
Page 46 46 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Also, the front passenger airbag is certified to the Federal regulations that define Occupant Classification (Refer to “Occupant Classification System” in this section). This vehicle may also be equipped with a driver inflat- able knee blocker located on the instrument panel below the steering column.
Page 47 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 protec- tive covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
Page 48 48 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag. 1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat. Infants in rear facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front airbag.
Page 49 WARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.

Page 51 first turned on. After the self-check, the AIRBAG warning light will turn off. The PAD indicator light will function normally (Refer to “Passenger Airbag Disable (PAD) Indicator Light” in this section). If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the AIRBAG warning light either momen- tarily or continuously.
Page 52 52 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE • The Side Impact SRS Window Bags are designed to activate only in certain side collisions. When the ORC and the side impact sensors (with side impact option) detects a collision requiring the window bags to inflate, it signals the inflators on the crash side of the vehicle.
Page 53 • If your vehicle contains a Passenger Airbag Disable indicator light, it will be equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS). The OCS system will classify an occupant into a size category based on sensor readings from within the seat cushion. Occu- pants should try to remain in a normally seated position.
Page 54 54 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE placed on the seat, the light will remain OFF. (The PAD indicator light is an amber light located on the center of the instrument panel above the climate controls.) Passenger Airbag Disabled Light For almost all sizes of properly seated adults, the airbag will be enabled in the event of a collision.
Page 55 child, and adult. The OCM sends the Occupant Clas- sification to the ORC to identify if a front passenger airbag is allowed. If a fault is present, the AIRBAG warning light is illuminated. • The Passenger Airbag Disabled (PAD) Indicator Light indicates to the driver and passenger when the airbag is turned OFF in the presence of a properly seated occupant.
Page 56 56 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 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 57 If A Deployment Occurs The airbag system is designed to deploy the airbags when the ORC and impact sensors detect a moderate-to- severe collision, to help restrain the vehicle passengers, and then immediately deflate. NOTE: A collision that is not severe enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system.
Page 58 58 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! Deployed airbags, front seat belt buckle pretension- ers and driver inflatable knee blocker cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags, front seat belt buckle pretensioners and driver inflatable knee blocker replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Page 59 WARNING! • You need proper knee impact protection in a collision. Do not mount or locate any aftermarket equipment on or behind the knee bolsters. • It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the airbag system yourself. Be sure to tell anyone who works on your vehicle that it has airbags.
Page 60: Child Restraint
60 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times — babies and children, too. 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 61 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 61 Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH) Each vehicle is equipped with two child restraint anchor- age systems called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren. The LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed on second-row seats only.
Page 62 62 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Five passenger vehicles are equipped with a second row bench seat only. The two outboard seating positions have lower anchorages that can accommodate rigid mount or flexible webbing-mounted LATCH-compatible child seats. The center seating position of the bench seat can also accommodate a flexible webbing-mounted LATCH- compatible child seat by using the inboard lower anchors of the two outboard seating positions.
Page 63 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 63 convenient. When using the LATCH System, always follow the child restraint manufacturer’s installation in- structions. NOTE: If your child restraint seat is not LATCH com- patible, install the restraint using the vehicle seat belts.

Page 64 64 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE When the tether anchorage is used in the center second row bench seating position or on the third row seating position, where equipped, the strap should be positioned straight over the top of the seatback. Bench Seat Tether Strap Routing When the tether anchorage is used in the third row seating position, the strap should be positioned straight...
Page 65 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.
Page 66 66 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE • The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weigh- ing 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.
Page 67 Here are some tips on getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety 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.
Page 68 68 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Automatic-Locking Retractor (ALR) The center seating position on vehicles equipped with a second row bench seat is equipped with an Automatic- Locking Retractor (ALR). Pull the belt from the retractor until there is enough to allow you to pass through the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle.
Page 69 Child restraint systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to the seatback tether anchorage have been available for some time. In fact, many child restraint manufacturer’s will provide add-on tether strap kits for some of their older products.
Page 70 70 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
Page 71: Engine Break-In Recommendations
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS A long break-in period is not required for the engine in your new vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable. While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration, within the limits of local traffic laws, contributes to a good break-in.

Page 344: Maintenance Procedures
344 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES The pages that follow contain the required maintenance services determined by the engineers who designed your vehicle. Besides the maintenance items for which there are fixed maintenance intervals, there are other items that should operate satisfactorily without periodic maintenance.
Page 345 Engine Oil Dipstick CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling will cause oil aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 345 Change Engine Oil Road conditions and your kind of driving affects the interval at which your oil should be changed. Check the following list to see if any apply to you.
Page 346 346 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE NOTE: If ANY of these apply to you then change your engine oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or 3 months, whichever comes first and follow schedule “B” of the Maintenance Schedules section of this manual. If none of these apply to you, then change your engine oil at every interval shown on schedule A of the Mainte- nance Schedules section of this manual.
Page 347 • SAE 10W-30 engine oil is preferred. SAE 5W-30 engine oil is allowed during cold weather only to improve cold weather starting. Lubricants which do not have both, the engine oil certi- fication mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade num- ber should not be used.
Page 348: Engine Oil Filter
348 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Synthetic Engine Oils There are a number of engine oils being promoted as either synthetic or semi-synthetic. If you chose to use such a product, use only those oils that are American Petroleum Institute (API) Certified and have the recom- mended SAE viscosity grade.
Page 349: Spark Plugs
Belts should be inspected for evidence of cuts, cracks, or glazing, and replaced if there is indication of damage which could result in belt failure. Low generator belt tension can cause battery failure. Also check belt routing to make sure there is no interfer- ence between the belts and other engine components.
Page 350: Catalytic Converter
350 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Catalytic Converter The catalytic converter requires the use of unleaded fuel only. Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an emission control device. Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not require maintenance. However, it is im- portant to keep the engine properly tuned to assure proper catalyst operation and prevent possible catalyst damage.
Page 351: Maintenance-Free Battery
WARNING! A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass or leaves coming into contact with your ex- haust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact any- thing that can burn.
Page 352 352 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Don’t allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin or clothing. Don’t lean over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area imme- diately with large amounts of water.
Page 353: Air Conditioner Maintenance
Air Conditioner Maintenance For best possible performance, your air conditioner should be checked and serviced by an Authorized Dealer at the start of each warm season. This service should include cleaning of the condenser fins and a system performance check. Drive belt tension should also be checked at this time.
Page 354: Power Steering - Fluid Check
354 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Refrigerant Recovery And Recycling R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a hydrofluorocar- bon (HFC) that is endorsed by the Environmental Pro- tection Agency and is an ozone-saving product. How- ever, the manufacturer recommends that air conditioning service be performed by dealers or other service facilities using recovery and recycling equipment.
Page 355: Front & Rear Suspension Ball Joints
WARNING! Fluid level should be checked on a level surface and with the engine off to prevent injury from moving parts and to insure accurate fluid level reading. Do not overfill. Use only manufacturers recommended power steering fluid. If necessary, add fluid to restore to the proper indicated level.
Page 356: Body Lubrication
356 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Continued operation could result in failure of the univer- sal joint due to water and dirt contamination of the grease. This would require complete replacement of the joint assembly. Body Lubrication Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as seat tracks, doors, liftgate and hood hinges, should be lubricated periodically to assure quiet, easy operation and to protect against rust and wear.
Page 357: Windshield And Rear Window Washers
Windshield and Rear Window Washers The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the rear window washer is shared. It is located in the engine compartment and should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not radiator antifreeze) and operate the system for a few seconds to flush out the residual water.
Page 358: Cooling System
358 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE vehicle, or when the underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a competent mechanic inspect the com- plete exhaust system and adjacent body areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose connections could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger compartment.
Page 359 Engine Coolant Checks Check the engine coolant (antifreeze) protection every 12 months (before the onset of freezing weather, where applicable). If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with fresh coolant. Check the front of the A/C condenser for any accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc.
Page 360 360 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE CAUTION! Mixing of coolants other than specified HOAT en- gine coolants, may result in engine damage and may decrease corrosion protection. If a non-HOAT cool- ant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency, it should be replaced with the specified coolant as soon as possible.
Page 361 The use of lower quality water will reduce the amount of corrosion protection in the engine cooling system. Please note that it is the owner’s responsibility to main- tain the proper level of protection against freezing ac- cording to the temperatures occurring in the area where the vehicle is operated.
Page 362 362 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Disposal of Used Engine Coolant Used ethylene glycol based engine coolant is a regulated substance requiring proper disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for your community. To prevent ingestion by animals or children do not store ethylene glycol based engine coolant in open containers or allow it to remain in puddles on the ground.
Page 363: Hoses And Vacuum/Vapor Harnesses
If an examination of your engine compartment shows no evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely driven. The vapor will soon dissipate. • Do not overfill the coolant recovery bottle. • Check coolant freeze point in the radiator and in the coolant recovery bottle.
Page 364: Brakes
364 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Pay particular attention to those hoses nearest to high heat sources such as the exhaust manifold. Inspect hose routing to be sure hoses do not come in contact with any heat source or moving component which may cause heat damage or mechanical wear.
Page 365: Master Cylinder - Brake Fluid Level Check
Insure nylon tubing in these areas has not melted or collapsed. Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and cou- plings to make sure they are secure and no leaks are present. NOTE: Often, fluid such as oil, power steering fluid, and brake fluid are used during assembly plant opera- tions to facilitate the assembly of hoses to couplings.
Page 366 366 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Overfilling of fluid is not recommended because it may cause leaking in the system. Add enough fluid to bring the level up to the require- ments described on the brake fluid reservoir. With disc brakes, fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake pads wear.
