20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Continuous Automatic Operation
This is activated by pushing one of the two buttons for
longer than half a second. The window will stop when
it is fully opened, or when the button is pushed again.
It can be used on both the driver side and passenger
side, only for lowering the window.
Electric Window System Reset
After a break in power supply for the control units
(battery replaced or disconnected or protective fuses for
the electric window control units replaced), the auto-
matic operation of the windows must be restored.
The restoration procedure must be performed as de-
scribed below with the doors closed:
1. Completely open the driver’s door window keepingthe operating button pushed for at least three sec-
onds after the (lower) end of travel position is
reached.
2. Completely raise the driver side window and hold the button down for at least three seconds once the
(upper) end of travel position has been reached.
3. Proceed in the same way as described in points 1 and 2 for the passenger side door. 4. Make sure that the reset is correct by checking that
the windows work automatically.
WARNING!
Improper actuation of the power windows may be
dangerous. Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, and do not let children play with power
windows. Before and during window operation
make sure no one and no object (including cloth-
ing) is in the path of the moving glass or its
mechanism. Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to children.
Occupants, particularly unattended children, can
become entrapped by the windows while operating
the power window switches. Such entrapment may
result in serious injury or death.

NOTE:Maintain a tight grip on the decklid when
raising, in order to prevent any external occurrence (e.g.
a gust of wind) from suddenly opening the decklid to
end of travel. Additionally, in order to prevent any
damage to the vehicle or broken windows, do not force
the decklid beyond the opening position necessary to
secure the supporting rod in the hole of the retaining
clip.
Closing Procedure
1. Hold the decklid up with one hand and use the other to remove rod from housing and reinsert it in its
locking device.
2. Lower the decklid approximately 7.8 inches (20 cm) from the engine compartment and let it drop. Make
sure that the decklid is completely closed and not
only fastened in safety position by trying to open it.
If it is not completely closed, do not push the decklid
down, but raise it and repeat the procedure.
NOTE: Always check that the decklid is closed correctly
to prevent it from opening while the vehicle is travel-
ling.WARNING!
• The maximum permitted load in the luggage
compartment, in addition to the kits provided, is
33.1 lbs. (15 kg). Do not exceed the maximum
permitted load in the luggage compartment.
• When accessing the rear luggage compartment, do
not come into contact with engine, or other com-
ponents, that may be hot and could burn you if
touched.
• Access the luggage compartment only with the
vehicle stationary. Before exiting a vehicle, always
shift the vehicle into FIRST gear or REVERSE,
apply the parking brake, turn the vehicle OFF,
and remove the key fob from the ignition.
• The decklid may drop suddenly, causing serious
injury, if the supporting rod is not positioned
correctly.
• The decklid must always be closed properly, and
the lock engaged, while the vehicle is in motion.2

8. Do not lean against the door or window. If yourvehicle has side air bags, and deployment occurs, the
side air bags will inflate forcefully into the space
between occupants and the door and occupants
could be injured.
9. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact
the Customer Center. Phone numbers are provided
under If You Need Consumer Assistance.
WARNING!
•Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of
an air bag. A deploying passenger 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 injuries in a collision.
Some of the worst injuries happen when people are
thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibil-
ity of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking
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 passenger (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. 2

WARNING!
•Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee impact
bolsters in any way.
• Do not mount any accessories to the knee impact
bolsters such as alarm lights, stereos, citizen band
radios, etc.
Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver
Knee Air Bag mounted in the instrument panel below
the steering column. The Supplemental Driver Knee Air
Bag provides enhanced protection during a frontal
impact by working together with the seat belts, preten-
sioners, and front air bags.
Supplemental Door-Integrated Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtains (SABICs)
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Door-
Integrated Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs).
SABICs may help reduce the risk of head and other
injuries to front seat outboard occupants in certain side
impacts, in addition to the injury reduction potential
provided by the seat belts and body structure. The SABICs are located in the door trim below the side
windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled “SRS
AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG.”
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or
complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side
windows in certain side impact events.
The SABICs deploy upward, covering the side win-
dows. An inflating SABIC pushes the outside edge of
the trim out of the way and covers the window. The
SABICs inflate with enough force to injure occupants if
they are not belted and seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the SABICs inflate. Chil-
dren are at an even greater risk of injury from a
deploying air bag.
SABICs are designed to activate in certain side impacts.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) determines
whether the deployment of the SABIC in a particular
impact event is appropriate, based on the severity and
type of collision. The side impact sensors aid the ORC in
determining the appropriate response to impact events.
The system is calibrated to deploy the SABIC on the
impact side of the vehicle during impacts that require
SABIC occupant protection. In side impacts, the SABICs
deploy independently; a left side impact deploys the
2
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 39

left side SABIC only and a right-side impact deploys the
right side SABIC only. Vehicle damage by itself is not a
good indicator of whether or not SABICs should have
deployed.
SABICs will not deploy in all side collisions, including
some collisions at certain angles, or some side collisions
that do not impact the area of the passenger compart-
ment. SABICs may deploy during angled or offset
frontal collisions where the front air bags deploy.
SABICs are a supplement to the seat belt restraint
system. SABICs deploy in less time than it takes to blink
your eyes.
WARNING!
•Occupants, including children, who are up
against or very close to SABICs can be seriously
injured or killed. Occupants, including children,
should never lean on or sleep against the door,
side windows, or area where the side air bags
inflate, even if they are in an infant or child
restraint.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•Seat belts (and child restraints where appropriate)
are necessary for your protection in all collisions.
They also help keep you in position, away from
an inflating SABIC. To get the best protection
from the SABICs, occupants must wear their seat
belts properly and sit upright with their backs
against the seats. Children must be properly re-
strained in a child restraint or booster seat that is
appropriate for the size of the child.
• Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high
enough to block the deployment of the SABICs.
The door trim below the side windows where the
SABIC and its deployment path are located
should remain free from any obstructions.
• SABICs need room to inflate. Do not lean against
the door or window. Sit upright in the center of
the seat.
• Being too close to the SABICs during deployment
could cause you to be severely injured or killed.
• Relying on the SABICs alone could lead to more
severe injuries in a collision. The SABICs work
with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In

WARNING!(Continued)
some collisions, SABICs won’t deploy at all. Al-
ways wear your seat belt even though you have
SABICs.
NOTE: Air bag covers may not be obvious to you, but
they will open during air bag deployment.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or
complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side
windows in certain side impact events.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the
internal circuits and interconnecting wiring associated

If A Deployment Occurs
The front air bags are designed to deflate immediately
after deployment.
NOTE: Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in all
collisions. This does not mean something is wrong with
the air bag system.
If you do have a collision which deploys the air bags,
any or all of the following may occur:
• The air bag material may sometimes cause abrasions
and/or skin reddening to the occupants as the air
bags deploy and unfold. The abrasions are similar to
friction rope burns or those you might get sliding
along a carpet or gymnasium floor. They are not
