Here Are Questions Many People Ask
About Safety Belts
-- and the Answers
Q:
Won't I be trapped in the vehicle after an
accident if I'm wearing a safety belt?
A:You could be -- whether you're wearing a safety
belt or not. But you can unbuckle a safety belt,
even if you're upside down. And your chance of
being conscious during and after an accident, so
you can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if
you are belted.
Q:If my vehicle has air bags, why should I have to
wear safety belts?
A:Air bags are in many vehicles today and will be in
most of them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only; so they work with
safety belts
-- not instead of them. Every air bag
system ever offered for sale has required the use of
safety belts. Even if you're in a vehicle that has air
bags, you still have to buckle up to get the most
protection. That's true not only in frontal collisions,
but especially in side and other collisions.
Q:If I'm a good driver, and I never drive far from
home, why should I wear safety belts?
A:You may be an excellent driver, but if you're in an
accident
-- even one that isn't your fault -- you
and your passengers can be hurt. Being a good
driver doesn't protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 km)
of home. And the greatest number of serious
injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less
than 40 mph (65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.

2-2
Windows
CAUTION:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the windows
closed is dangerous. A child can be overcome
by the extreme heat and can suffer permanent
injuries or even death from heat stroke.
Never leave a child alone in a vehicle, especially
with the windows closed in warm or hot weather.

2-7
Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.

Passengers -- especially children -- can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked,
the handle won't open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in
a crash if the doors aren't locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the doors
whenever you drive.

Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.

Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or stop
your vehicle. Locking your doors can help
prevent this from happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
Because your vehicle has the theft
-deterrent system,
you must unlock the doors with the key or remote
keyless entry transmitter to avoid setting off the alarm.
From the outside, use either the key or the remote
keyless entry transmitter.
From the inside, use the
manual lock levers located
at the top of the door panel
near the window.
Push down on the manual lock lever to lock the door.
To unlock the door, pull up on the lever.

2-17
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft
-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you
can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it's an
easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
-- so
don't do it.
When you park your vehicle and open the driver's
door, you'll hear a chime reminding you to remove
your key from the ignition and take it with you.
Always do this. Your ignition and transaxle will be
locked. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots
Even if you park in a lot where someone will be
watching your vehicle, it's still best to lock it up and
take your keys. But what if you have to leave your
ignition key?

If possible, park in a busy, well
-lit area.

Put your valuables in a storage area, like your
trunk or glove box.

Be sure to close and lock the storage area.

Close all windows.

Move the valet lockout switch to ON.

Lock the glove box.

Lock all doors except the driver's.

Give the valet key to the valet. Then take the
master key with you.

2-48 Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during
the day. DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully
functional daytime running lamps are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system will make the high
-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when the following
conditions are met:

It is still daylight and the ignition is on,

the exterior lamp control is in the off position and

the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are on, only your high
-beam headlamps
(at reduced brightness) will be on. No other exterior
lamps such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be
on when the DRL are being used. Your instrument panel
won't be lit up either.
When the Twilight Sentinel
 lever is on and it's dark
enough outside, the high
-beam headlamps (at reduced
intensity) will turn off and normal low
-beam headlamp
operation will occur. When the Twilight Sentinel lever is on and it's bright
enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and the
high
-beam headlamps at reduced brightness will
take over.
If it's dark enough outside and the Twilight Sentinel
lever is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message
will display on the Driver's Information Center (DIC).
This message informs the driver that turning on the
exterior lamps is recommended even though the DRL
are still illuminated. Turning on the Twilight Sentinel
or the headlamps will deactivate the DRL and remove
the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message. If the
parking lamps or the fog lamps were turned on instead,
the DRL will still deactivate and the HEADLAMPS
SUGGESTED message will continue to be displayed.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off at night,
turn off the Twilight Sentinel and shift the transaxle
into PARK (P). Placing your vehicle in PARK (P)
disables the DRL. The DRL will stay off until you
shift out of PARK (P).
To drive your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the
Twilight Sentinel and manually turn on the parking
lamps or fog lamps (if equipped).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.

2-65
Global positioning locating capabilities will not be
available if satellite signals are obstructed.
OnStar will not function if the vehicle's battery is
discharged or disconnected. It may also be inoperative
if the vehicle is in an accident and the OnStar or vehicle
electrical system components are damaged.
OnStar is the communication link between you
and existing governmental emergency and roadside
service providers. OnStar will receive your call and use
reasonable effort to contact an appropriate provider.
OnStar cannot promise that the providers will respond
in a timely manner or at all.Assist Handles
An assist handle above each door can be used when
getting out of your vehicle.
Garment Hooks
For your convenience, a garment hook is attached to
each rear assist handle.
Umbrella Holder (If Equipped)
The driver's front seat cushion may come equipped
with an umbrella holder. Gently slide the umbrella into
the slot located under the front portion of the driver's
seat cushion.
Floor Mats
Your vehicle is equipped with rubber-backed front and
rear floor mats. Keep them clean by vacuuming and
using a spot cleaner, if necessary. Do not machine wash.

2-87 Fuel Gage
United States Canada
The fuel gage shows approximately how much fuel is in
the tank. It works only when the ignition is in ON.If the fuel supply gets down to approximately
three gallons (11.4 L) of fuel remaining in the tank,
the FUEL LEVEL LOW message will appear on
the Driver Information Center (DIC) and a single
chime will sound.
Here are a few concerns some owners have had about
the fuel gage. All of these situations are normal and do
not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage:

At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads full.

GAL FUEL USED on the DIC does not correspond
exactly to the amount of fuel remaining as shown on
the fuel gage.

The gage may change when you turn, stop quickly
or accelerate quickly.

2-111 Comfort Controls and Radio
System Personalization
These features allow both drivers to personalize their
own climate control settings as well as their radio
settings. For more information, see ªClimate Control
Personalizationº and ªRadio Personalizationº in
the Index.
The outside temperature is always available for display
if it has been selected for a DIC display when your
vehicle is running unless an overriding DIC message
appears. You can change the temperature from
Fahrenheit to Celsius by pressing the ENG/MET
(English/metric) button on the instrument panel.
For more information on the DIC, see ªDIC Messagesº
in the Index.
The electronic sensor can be affected by road or engine
heat during idling, slow driving or when the engine is
first started after a short trip. To ensure proper automatic
climate control operation, the outside air temperature
display may not update as quickly as expected. This is to allow the air surrounding the outside
temperature sensor to be as close to the actual
outside conditions as possible. This is determined
by how much time has elapsed since the vehicle has
been turned off and by vehicle speed.
Continuous Variable Road Sensing
Suspension (CVRSS) -- STS Only
The CVRSS automatically adjusts the ride of your
vehicle. Automatic ride control is achieved through a
computer used to control and monitor the suspension
system. The controller receives input from various
sensors to determine the proper system response.
If the controller detects a problem within the system,
the DIC will display a SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS
message. If this message appears, have your vehicle
serviced at your dealership.

3-10 HVAC Steering Wheel Controls
(If Equipped)
Some heating and cooling
controls can be adjusted at
the steering wheel. Other
touch controls operate some
audio controls. See ªAudio
Steering Wheel Controlsº in
the Index.
~TEMP !(Temperature): Press the up arrow on
the control to increase the temperature and the down
arrow to decrease temperature.
!~
(Fan): Press the up arrow on the control to increase
the fan speed and the down arrow to decrease fan speed.
Climate Control Personalization
(If Equipped)
This feature allows two different drivers to store and
recall their own climate control settings. These settings
include the set temperatures for the driver and front
passenger, the air conditioning, the mode and the
fan speed. (This feature does not recall recirculation
or defrost).
Each driver (1 or 2) has a corresponding number located
on the back of the remote keyless entry transmitter.
Settings recalled by the system are determined by which
transmitter is used to unlock the vehicle. After the
button with the unlock symbol is pressed, the settings
are automatically recalled.
The settings can also be recalled when the key is placed
in the ignition. If the settings are recalled this way, the
system will recall the settings of the last driver. If these
are not the correct settings, you must press the button
with the unlock symbol on remote keyless entry
transmitter that was used when you saved your settings.
