They are located above the side windows. Their covers are also labeled SRS/AIRBAG. Window Airbag Location NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim;...
Page 49 The front airbags have a multi stage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity. Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bol- sters to provide improved protection for the driver and front passenger.
Page 50 50 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE children who do not use child restraints or belt- positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm. 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...
Page 51 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.

Indicator Light Location The “PAD Indicator Light” should not be illuminated when a adult passenger is properly seated in the front passenger seat.
Page 55 Passenger Air- Front Passenger bag Disable Seat Occupant (PAD) Indicator Light Adult Grocery Bags, Heavy Briefcases and Other Rela- tively Light Ob- jects Empty or Very OFF* Small Objects * Since the system senses weight, some small objects will turn the PAD Indicator Light on. The OCS classifies an occupant using weight sensors mounted in the base of the front passenger seat.
Page 56 56 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE because this can also affect occupant classification. Also, if you fold down the rear seat check to be sure it doesn’t touch the front passenger seat. If the front passenger seat is damaged in any way, it should only be serviced by an authorized dealer.
Page 57 The driver front airbag gas is vented through the vent holes in the sides of the airbag. The passenger front airbag gas is vented through the vent holes in the sides of the airbag. In this way, the airbags do not interfere with your control of the vehicle.
Page 58 58 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE The front passenger seat assembly contains critical com- ponents that affect the front passenger airbag deploy- ment. Correctly functioning front passenger seat compo- nents are critical for the Occupant Classification System (OCS) to properly classify the front passenger and calcu- late the proper airbag deployment.
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 60 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: Airbag Warning Light
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 if the airbag system is 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 right side of the instrument panel.

Page 66 66 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Here are some tips for 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.
Page 67 • In the rear seat, you may have trouble tightening the lap/shoulder belt on the child restraint because the buckle or latch plate is too close to the belt path opening on the restraint. Disconnect the latch plate from the buckle and twist the short buckle-end belt several times to shorten it.
Page 68 68 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who are still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly. If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while the child’s back is against the seat back, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat.
Page 69 having attachments for those anchorages will continue to also have features for installation using the vehicle’s seat belts. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to the top tether anchorages have been avail- able for some time. For some older child restraints, many child restraint manufacturers offer add-on tether strap kits or retro-fit kits.

Latch Anchorages In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located on the back of the seat.
Page 71 Many, but not all restraint systems will be equipped with separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or connector for attachment to the lower anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension in the strap. Forward- facing toddler restraints and some rear-facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap, a hook for attachment to the tether strap anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension of the strap.
Page 72 72 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Installing Child Restraints Using the Vehicle Seat Belt The passenger seat belts are equipped with either cinch- ing latch plates or automatic locking retractors, which are designed to keep the lap portion tight around the child restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking clip.
Page 73 Route the tether strap over the seat back and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat. For the outboard seating positions, route the tether over the head rests, and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat.

Page 278: Tires - General Information
278 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them. TIRES — GENERAL INFORMATION Tire Pressure Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle.
Page 279: Tire Inflation Pressures
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. Under inflation also increases tire rolling resistance and results in higher fuel consump- tion.
Page 280 280 STARTING AND OPERATING check tire pressure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation. Radial tires may look properly inflated even when they are under inflated. CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap–if equipped. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem.
Page 281: Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation
Tire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation pressure is very important.
Page 282: Tread Wear Indicators
282 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) when you are stuck, and do not let anyone near a spinning wheel no matter what the speed.
Page 283: Life Of Tire
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including but not limited to: • Driving style • Tire pressure • Distance driven WARNING! Tires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure.
Page 284: Alignment And Balance
284 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combina- tions of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance charac- teristics, resulting in changes to steering, han- dling, and braking of your vehicle.
