For Safe Driving

The following pages explain your vehicle’s safety features and how to use them

properly. The safety precautions below are ones that we consider to be among the

most important.

Important Safety Precautions

■ Always wear your seat belt

A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags are designed to

supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is equipped

with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts, and

wear them properly.

1Important Safety Precautions

Some states, provinces and territories prohibit the use

of cell phones other than hands-free devices by the

driver while driving.

■ Restrain all children

Children ages 12 and under should ride properly restrained in a back seat, not the

front seat. Infants and small children should be restrained in a child seat. Larger

children should use a booster seat and a lap/shoulder seat belt until they can use the

belt properly without a booster seat.

■ Be aware of airbag hazards

While airbags can save lives, they can cause serious or fatal injuries to occupants

who sit too close to them, or are not properly restrained. Infants, young children,

and short adults are at the greatest risk. Be sure to follow all instructions and

warnings in this manual.

■ Don’t drink and drive

Alcohol and driving don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to

changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink.

So don’t drink and drive, and don’t let your friends drink and drive, either.

34

uuFor Safe DrivinguImportant Safety Precautions

■ Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely

Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from paying

close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead to a crash.

Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe to

divert some attention away from driving.

■ Control your speed

Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher

the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds.

Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum

speed posted.

■ Keep your vehicle in safe condition

Having a tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous.

To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tire pressures and condition

frequently, and perform all regularly scheduled maintenance.

■ Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle

Children, pets, and people needing assistance left unattended in the vehicle may be

injured if they activate one or more of the vehicle controls. They may also cause the

vehicle to move, resulting in a crash in which they and/or another person(s) can be

injured or killed. Also, depending on the ambient temperature, the temperature of

the interior may reach extreme levels, which can result in harm or death.

Even if the climate control system is on, never leave them in the vehicle unattended

as the climate control system can shut off at any time.

Your vehicle is equipped with many features that

work together to help protect you and your

passengers during a crash.

Some features do not require any action on your part.

These include a strong steel framework that forms a

safety cage around the passenger compartment,

front and rear crush zones, a collapsible steering

column, and tensioners that tighten the front seat

belts in a sufficient crash.

Safety Checklist

For the safety of you and your passengers, make a habit of checking these items

each time before you drive.

• After everyone has entered the vehicle, be sure all doors are closed and locked.

Locking the doors helps prevent an occupant from being ejected and an outsider

from unexpectedly opening a door.

1Safety Checklist

If the door and/or trunk open message appears on

the driver information interface, a door and/or the

trunk is not completely closed. Close all doors and

the trunk tightly until the message disappears.

2 Driver Information Interface Warning and

Information Messages P. 109

2 Locking/Unlocking the Doors from the Inside P. 177

• Adjust your seat to a position suitable for driving. Be sure the front seats are

adjusted as far to the rear as possible while allowing the driver to control the

vehicle. Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious or fatal injury in a

crash.

2 Seats P. 212

• Adjust head restraints to the proper position. Head restraints are most effective

when the center of the head restraint aligns with the center of your head. Taller

persons should adjust their head restraint to the highest position.

Seat Belts

About Your Seat Belts

Seat belts are the single most effective safety device because they keep you

connected to the vehicle so that you can take advantage of many built-in safety

features. They also help keep you from being thrown against the inside of the

vehicle, against any passengers, or out of the vehicle. When worn properly, seat

belts also keep your body properly positioned in a crash so that you can take full

advantage of the additional protection provided by the airbags.

1About Your Seat Belts

WARNING

Not wearing a seat belt properly increases

the chance of serious injury or death in a

crash, even though your vehicle has

airbags.

In addition, seat belts help protect you in almost every type of crash, including:

Be sure you and your passengers always

wear seat belts and wear them properly.

- frontal impacts

- side impacts

- rear impacts

- rollovers

If a front or rear seat passenger moves around and

extends the seat belt, the lockable retractor may

activate. If this happens, release the retractor by

unfastening the seat belt and allow the belt to retract

completely. Then, refasten the belt.

■ Lap/shoulder seat belts

All five seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts with emergency

locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you move freely while keeping

some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop, the retractor locks to

restrain your body.

If you extend the seat belt too quickly, it will lock in

place. If this happens, slightly retract the seat belt,

then extend it slowly.

The front passenger’s and rear seat belts also have a lockable retractor for use with

child seats.

2 Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt P. 72

Seat belts cannot completely protect you in every

crash. But in most cases, seat belts can reduce your

risk of serious injury.

38

uuSeat BeltsuAbout Your Seat Belts

■ Proper use of seat belts

1About Your Seat Belts

Follow these guidelines for proper use:

Most states and all Canadian provinces and territories

require you to wear seat belts.

• All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that position

for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduce the effectiveness of the

belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

• Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or

behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.

• Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very

seriously injured in a crash.

• Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improve comfort

or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective capability

and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

1Seat Belt Reminder

Seat Belt Reminder

■

The indicator will also come on if a front passenger

does not fasten their seat belt within six seconds after

the power mode is set to ON.

■ Front seats

The seat belt system includes an indicator on the

instrument panel to remind the driver or a front

passenger or both to fasten their seat belts.

If you set the power mode to ON and a seat

belt is not fastened, a beeper will sound and

the indicator will blink. After a few seconds,

the beeper will stop and the indicator will

come on and remain illuminated until the seat

belt is fastened.

When no one is sitting in the front passenger’s seat,

the indicator will not come on and the beeper will not

sound.

The indicator also may not come on and the beeper

may not sound when the occupant is not heavy

enough to trigger the weight sensor. Such occupants

(e.g., infants and smaller children) should be moved

to the rear seat as a deploying front airbag likely will

injure or kill them.

2 Protecting Child Passengers P. 64

The beeper will periodically sound and the

indicator will blink while the vehicle is moving

until the seat belt is fastened.

■

The seat belt tensioners can only operate once.

If a tensioner is activated, the SRS indicator will come

on. Have a dealer replace the tensioner and

thoroughly inspect the seat belt system as it may not

offer protection in a subsequent crash.

The front seats are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners to enhance safety.

The tensioners automatically tighten the front seat belts during a moderate-to-

severe frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not severe enough to

inflate the front airbags or the knee airbags.

During a moderate-to-severe side impact, the

tensioner on that side of the vehicle also activates.

3. Position the lap part of the belt as low as

possible across your hips, then pull up on

the shoulder part of the belt so the lap part

fits snugly. This lets your strong pelvic

bones take the force of a crash and reduces

the chance of internal injuries.

4. If necessary, pull up on the belt again to

remove any slack, then check that the belt

rests across the center of your chest and

over your shoulder. This spreads the forces

of a crash over the strongest bones in your

upper body.

Make sure all seat belts are properly

positioned before driving.

To release the belt, push the red PRESS button and

then guide the belt by hand until it has retracted

completely.

When exiting the vehicle, be sure the belt is properly

stowed so that it will not get caught in the closing

door.

Never insert any foreign objects into the buckle or

retractor mechanism.

occupants.

1. Move the anchor up and down while

holding the release button.

2. Position the anchor so that the belt rests

across the center of your chest and over

your shoulder.

The shoulder anchor height can be adjusted to four

levels. If the belt contacts your neck, lower the height

1Advice for Pregnant Women

Advice for Pregnant Women

■

Each time you have a checkup, ask your doctor if it is

okay for you to drive.

If you are pregnant, the best way to protect yourself and your unborn child when

driving or riding in a vehicle is to always wear a seat belt and keep the lap part of the

belt as low as possible across the hips.

To reduce the risk of injuries to both you and your

unborn child that can be caused by an inflating front

airbag:

• When driving, sit upright and adjust the seat as far

back as possible while allowing full control of the

vehicle.

Wear the shoulder belt

across the chest avoiding

the abdomen.

• When sitting in the front passenger’s seat, adjust

the seat as far back as possible.

Wear the lap part of the

belt as low as possible

across the hips.

WARNING

• Pull each belt out fully, and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.

• Check that the latch plates and buckles work smoothly and the belts retract

easily.

u If a belt does not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the problem. Only

use a mild soap and warm water. Do not use bleach or cleaning solvents. Make

sure the belt is completely dry before allowing it to retract.

Not checking or maintaining seat belts can

result in serious injury or death if the seat

belts do not work properly when needed.

Check your seat belts regularly and have

any problem corrected as soon as possible.

Any belt that is not in good condition or working properly will not provide proper

protection and should be replaced as soon as possible.

A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level of

protection in a subsequent crash. Have your seat belts inspected by a dealer after

any collision.

1Important Facts About Your Airbags

Important Facts About Your Airbags

■

Do not attempt to deactivate your airbags. Together,

airbags and seat belts provide the best protection.

Airbags can pose serious hazards. To do their job, airbags must inflate with

tremendous force. So, while airbags help save lives, they can cause burns, bruises,

and other minor injuries, sometimes even fatal ones if occupants are not wearing

their seat belts properly and sitting correctly.

When driving, keep hands and arms out of the

deployment path of the front airbag by holding each

side of the steering wheel. Do not cross an arm over

the airbag cover.

What you should do: Always wear your seat belt properly and sit upright and as

far back from the steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the

vehicle. A front passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as

possible.

Remember, however, that no safety system can prevent all injuries or deaths that

can occur in a severe crash, even when seat belts are properly worn and the airbags

deploy.

Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag.

Carrying hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other sharp

object in your mouth, can result in injuries if your front airbag inflates.

Do not attach or place objects on the front and front knee airbag covers.

Objects on the covers marked SRS AIRBAG could interfere with the proper

operation of the airbags or be propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone if the

airbags inflate.

48

uuAirbagsuTypes of Airbags

Types of Airbags

Your vehicle is equipped with four types of airbags:

• Front airbags: Airbags in front of the driver’s and front passenger’s seats.

• Front knee airbags: Airbags under the steering column and under the glove

box.

• Side airbags: Airbags in the driver’s and front passenger’s seat-backs.

• Side curtain airbags: Airbags above the side windows.

Each is discussed in the following pages.

1Types of Airbags

The airbags can inflate whenever the power mode is

in ON.

After an airbag inflates in a crash, you may see a

small amount of smoke. This is from the combustion

process of the inflator material and is not harmful.

People with respiratory problems may experience

some temporary discomfort. If this occurs, get out of

the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Front Airbags (SRS)

The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help protect

the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger.

1Front Airbags (SRS)

During a frontal crash severe enough to cause one or

both front airbags to deploy, the airbags can inflate

at different rates, depending on the severity of the

crash, whether or not the seat belts are latched, and/

or other factors. Frontal airbags are designed to

supplement the seat belts to help reduce the

likelihood of head and chest injuries in frontal

crashes.

SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are designed to

supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the occupant’s primary

restraint system.

Housing Locations

■

The front airbags are housed in the center of the steering wheel for the driver, and

in the dashboard for the front passenger. Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG.

Continued

49

uuAirbagsuFront Airbags (SRS)

Operation

■

Front airbags are designed to inflate during moderate-to-severe frontal collisions.

When the vehicle decelerates suddenly, the sensors send information to the control

unit which signals one or both front airbags to inflate.

A frontal collision can be either head-on or angled between two vehicles, or when a

vehicle crashes into a stationary object, such as a concrete wall.

1How the Front Airbags Work

How the Front Airbags Work

■

Although the driver’s and front passenger’s airbags

normally inflate within a split second of each other, it

is possible for only one airbag to deploy. This can

happen if the severity of a collision is at the margin,

or threshold, that determines whether or not the

airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will

provide sufficient protection, and the supplemental

protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.

While your seat belt restrains your torso, the

front airbag provides supplemental protection

for your head and chest.

The front airbags deflate immediately so that

they won’t interfere with the driver’s visibility

or the ability to steer or operate other

controls.

The total time for inflation and deflation is so fast that most occupants are not

aware that the airbags deployed until they see them lying in front of them.

50

uuAirbagsuFront Airbags (SRS)

■ When front airbags should not deploy

Minor frontal crashes: Front airbags were designed to supplement seat belts and

help save lives, not to prevent minor scrapes, or even broken bones that might occur

during a less than moderate-to-severe frontal crash.

Side impacts: Front airbags can provide protection when a sudden deceleration

causes a driver or front passenger to move toward the front of the vehicle. Side

airbags and side curtain airbags have been specifically designed to help reduce the

severity of injuries that can occur during a moderate-to-severe side impact which

can cause the driver or passenger to move toward the side of the vehicle.

Rear impacts: Head restraints and seat belts are your best protection during a rear

impact. Front airbags cannot provide any significant protection and are not designed

to deploy in such collisions.

Rollovers: In a rollover, your best form of protection is a seat belt or, if your vehicle

is equipped with a rollover sensor, both a seat belt and a side curtain airbag. Front

airbags, however, are not designed to deploy in a rollover as they would provide

little if any protection.

■ When front airbags deploy with little or no visible damage

Because the airbag system senses sudden deceleration, a strong impact to the

vehicle framework or suspension might cause one or more of the airbags to deploy.

Examples include running into a curb, the edge of a hole, or other low fixed object

that causes a sudden deceleration in the vehicle chassis. Since the impact is

underneath the vehicle, damage may not be readily apparent.

■ When front airbags may not deploy, even though exterior damage

appears severe

Since crushable body parts absorb crash energy during an impact, the amount of

visible damage does not always indicate proper airbag operation. In fact, some

collisions can result in severe damage but no airbag deployment because the airbags

would not have been needed or would not have provided protection even if they

had deployed.

1Advanced Airbags

Advanced Airbags

■

If there is a problem with the driver’s seat position

sensor or the passenger’s seat weight sensors, the

SRS indicator will come on, and in the event of a

crash, the airbag will deploy (regardless of the driver’s

seating position or passenger’s occupant

classification) with a force corresponding to the

severity of the impact.

The airbags have advanced features to help reduce the likelihood of airbag related

injuries to smaller occupants.

The driver’s advanced airbag system includes a

We advise against allowing a child age 12 or

under to ride in the front passenger’s seat.

However, if you do allow a small child or

infant to ride in the front passenger’s seat, the

uuAirbagsuKnee Airbags

Knee Airbags

The knee SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help keep

the driver and/or front passenger in the proper position and to help maximize the

benefit provided by the vehicle’s other safety features.

1Knee Airbags

Do not attach accessories on or near a knee airbag as

they can interfere with the proper operation of the

airbag, or even hurt someone if the airbag inflates.

SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are designed to

restraint system.

The driver and front passenger should not store any

items under the seat or behind their feet. The items

can interfere with proper airbag deployment in the

event of a moderate to severe frontal collision and

may result in inadequate protection.

prevent the airbag from deploying properly and

increases your risk of serious injury.

■ When a side airbag deploys with little or no visible damage

Because the airbag system senses sudden acceleration, a strong impact to the side

of the vehicle’s framework can cause a side airbag to deploy. In such cases, there

may be little or no damage, but the side impact sensors detected a severe enough

impact to deploy the airbag.

■ When a side airbag may not deploy, even though visible damage appears

severe

It is possible for a side airbag not to deploy during an impact that results in

apparently severe damage. This can occur when the point of impact was toward the

far front or rear of the vehicle, or when the vehicle’s crushable body parts absorbed

most of the crash energy. In either case, the side airbag would not have been

needed nor provided protection even if it had deployed.

58

uuAirbagsuSide Curtain Airbags

Side Curtain Airbags

The side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and passengers in the

outer seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact. The side curtain

airbags equipped in this vehicle are also designed to help reduce the likelihood of

partial and complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in crashes,

particularly rollover crashes.

1Side Curtain Airbags

To get the best protection from the side curtain

airbags, occupants should wear their seat belts

properly and sit upright and well back in their seats.

Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof

pillars as they can interfere with the proper operation

of the side curtain airbags.

Housing Locations

■

The side curtain airbags are located in the

ceiling above the side windows on both sides

of the vehicle.

If the impact is on the passenger’s side, the

passenger’s side curtain airbag deploys even if there

are no occupants on that side of the vehicle.

If the SRS control unit senses that your vehicle is

about to rollover, it immediately deploys both side

curtain airbags and activates both front seat belt

tensioners.

depending on physique and posture, the system may

not recognize him/her as an adult and thus deactivate

the passenger’s airbag.

If this occurs, please confirm that the conditions set

forth in the above bullet points on the previous page

are met.

If the above conditions are met and the indicator is

still on, then with the transmission in (P, set the

uuAirbagsuAirbag Care

Airbag Care

You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace any

airbag system components yourself. However, you should have your vehicle

inspected by a dealer in the following situations:

1Airbag Care

We recommend against the use of salvaged airbag

system components, including the airbag, tensioners,

sensors, and control unit.

■ When the airbags have deployed

If an airbag has inflated, the control unit and other related parts must be replaced.

Similarly, once an automatic seat belt tensioner has been activated, it must be

replaced.

■ When the vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe collision

Even if the airbags did not inflate, have your dealer inspect the following: the driver’s

seat position sensor, weight sensors in the passenger’s seat, front seat belt

tensioners, and each seat belt that was worn during the crash.

■ Do not remove or modify a front seat without consulting a dealer

This would likely disable or affect the proper operation of the driver’s seat position

sensor or the weight sensors in the passenger’s seat. If it is necessary to remove or

modify a front seat to accommodate a person with disabilities, contact a Honda

dealer, or for U.S. vehicles, American Honda Automobile Customer Service at

1-800-999-1009 and for Canadian vehicles, Honda Canada Customer Relations at

1-888-9-HONDA-9.

Child Safety

Protecting Child Passengers

Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are

either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle crashes are the

number one cause of death of children ages 12 and under.

1Protecting Child Passengers

3

WARNING

Children who are unrestrained or

improperly restrained can be seriously

injured or killed in a crash.

To reduce the number of child deaths and injuries, every state, Canadian province

and territory requires that infants and children be properly restrained when they ride

in a vehicle.

Any child too small for a seat belt should be

properly restrained in a child seat. A larger

child should be properly restrained with a

seat belt, using a booster seat if necessary.

Children should sit properly restrained in a rear seat. This is because:

• An inflating front or side airbag can injure

or kill a child sitting in the front seat.

• A child in the front seat is more likely to

interfere with the driver’s ability to safely

control the vehicle.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

and Transport Canada recommend that all children

ages 12 and under be properly restrained in a rear

seat. Some states or provinces/territories have laws

restricting where children may ride.

• Statistics show that children of all sizes and

ages are safer when they are properly

restrained in a rear seat.

64

uuChild SafetyuProtecting Child Passengers

• Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt correctly must be restrained in an

approved child seat that is properly secured to the vehicle using either the seat

belt or the lower anchors of the LATCH system.

1Protecting Child Passengers

3

WARNING

Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or

wrap one around their neck can result in

serious injury or death.

• Never hold a child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them in the

event of a collision.

Instruct children not to play with any seat

belt and make sure any unused seat belt a

child can reach is buckled, fully retracted,

and locked.

• Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt would

likely press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries.

• Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be very

seriously injured in a crash.

To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle

and allow the seat belt to wind up all the way.

• Do not allow children to operate the doors, windows, or seat adjustments.

To remind you of the passenger’s front airbag

hazards and child safety, your vehicle has warning

labels on the dashboard (U.S. models) and on the

front visors. Please read and follow the instructions

on these labels.

• Do not leave children in the vehicle unattended, especially in hot weather when

the inside of the vehicle can get hot enough to kill them. They could also activate

vehicle controls causing it to move unexpectedly.

An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing child seat until the infant

reaches the seat manufacturer’s weight or height limit for the seat.

■ Positioning a rear-facing child seat

3

WARNING

Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front

seat can result in serious injury or death

during a crash.

Child seats must be placed and secured in a

rear seating position.

Always place a rear-facing child seat in the

rear seat, not the front.

Experts recommend use of a rear-facing seat for a

child so long as the child’s height and weight are

appropriate for a rear-facing seat.

Infants should never be seated in a forward-facing

position.

When properly installed, a rear-facing child seat may prevent the driver or a front

passenger from moving their seat all the way back, or from locking their seat-back

in the desired position. Make sure that there is no contact between the child seat

and the seat in front of it.

Always refer to the child seat manufacturer’s

instructions before installation.

It can also interfere with proper operation of the passenger’s advanced front airbag

system.

Do not allow a front seat to rest against a child seat

installed in a rear seating position.

The weight sensor in the front seat may not correctly

detect the actual weight of the occupant.

2 Airbags P. 46

If this occurs, we recommend that you install the child seat directly behind the front

passenger’s seat, move the seat as far forward as needed, and leave it unoccupied.

Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing child seat.

■

If a child has exceeded the weight and height limitations of a rearward-facing child

seat, the child should be properly restrained in a firmly secured forward-facing child

seat until they exceed the weight and height limitations for the forward-facing child

seat.

3

WARNING

Placing a forward-facing child seat in the

front seat can result in serious injury or

death if the front airbag inflates.

■ Forward-facing child seat placement

We strongly recommend placing a forward-

facing child seat in a rear seating position.

If you must place a forward-facing child

seat in front, move the vehicle seat as far

back as possible, and properly restrain the

child.

Educate yourself about the laws and regulations

regarding child seat use where you are driving, and

follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions.

Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can be hazardous, even with

advanced front airbags that automatically turn the passenger’s front airbag off. A

rear seat is the safest place for a child.

1Selecting a Child Seat

Selecting a Child Seat

■

Installation of a LATCH-compatible child seat is

simple.

Most child seats are LATCH-compatible (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children).

Some have a rigid-type connector, while others have a flexible-type connector. Both

are equally easy to use. Some existing and previously owned child seats can only be

installed using the seat belt. Whichever type you choose, follow the child seat

manufacturer’s use and care instructions including recommended expiration dates

as well as the instructions in this manual. Proper installation is key to maximizing

your child’s safety.

LATCH-compatible child seats have been developed

to simplify the installation process and reduce the

likelihood of injuries caused by incorrect installation.

In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCH-compatible

child seat can be installed using the seat belt and a top tether for added security.

This is because all child seats are required to be designed so that they can be secured

with a lap belt or the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt. In addition, the child seat

manufacturer may advise that a seat belt be used to attach a LATCH-compatible seat

once a child reaches a specified weight. Please read the child seat owner’s manual

for proper installation instructions.

■ Important consideration when selecting a child seat

Make sure the child seat meets the following three requirements:

• The child seat is the correct type and size for the child.

• The child seat is the correct type for the seating position.

• The child seat is compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or

Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

must sit in front.

3

WARNING

Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in

front can result in injury or death if the

passenger’s front airbag inflates.

Checking Seat Belt Fit

■

If a larger child must ride in front, move the

vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible,

have the child sit up properly and wear the

seat belt properly, using a booster seat if

needed.

When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear seat using the lap/

shoulder seat belt. Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then answer the

following questions.

■ Checklist

• Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over

the edge of the seat?

• Does the shoulder belt cross between the

child’s neck and arm?

• Is the lap part of the seat belt as low as

possible, touching the child’s thighs?

• Will the child be able to stay seated like this

for the whole trip?

If you answer yes to all these questions, the child is ready to wear the lap/shoulder

seat belt correctly. If you answer no to any question, the child needs to ride on a

booster seat until the seat belt fits properly without a booster seat.

Booster Seats

■

When installing a booster seat, make sure to read the

instructions that came with it, and install the seat

accordingly.

There are high- and low-type booster seats. Choose a

booster seat that allows the child to wear the seat

belt correctly.

If a lap/shoulder seat belt cannot be used

properly, position the child in a booster seat in

the rear seat. For the child’s safety, check that

the child meets the booster seat

manufacturer’s recommendations.

Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces and

territories require children to use a booster seat until

they reach a given age or weight (e.g. 6 years or 60

lbs). Be sure to check current laws in the state or

province, or territory where you intend to drive.

Protecting Larger Children - Final Checks

Your vehicle has a rear seat where children can be properly restrained. If you ever

have to carry a group of children, and a child must ride in front:

• Make sure you read and fully understand the instructions and safety information

in this manual.

• Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible.

• Have the child sit upright and well back in the seat.

• Check that the seat belt is properly positioned so that the child is secure in the

seat.

■ Monitoring child passengers

We strongly recommend that you keep an eye on child passengers. Even older, more

mature children sometimes need to be reminded to fasten their seat belts and sit up

properly.

WARNING

Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.

■ Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever

• The exhaust system is making an unusual noise.

• The exhaust system may have been damaged.

• The vehicle is raised for an oil change.

Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and

even kill you.

Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that

expose you to carbon monoxide.

When you operate a vehicle with the trunk open, airflow can pull exhaust gas into

the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with the trunk open,

open all the windows and set the climate control system as shown below.

An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up

with carbon monoxide gas.

Do not run the engine with the garage door closed.

Even when the garage door is open, drive out of the

garage immediately after starting the engine.

1. Select the fresh air mode.

2. Select the
