The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies
force to the strong pelvic bones. And
you'd be less
likely to slide under the lap belt. If
you slid under it, the belt would apply force at your
abdomen.
This could cause serious or even fatal injuries.
The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder
and
across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to
take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks
if there's a sudden stop or a crash.
On four-door models, the safety belt also locks if you
pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.
A CAUTION:
You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is
too loose. In a crash, you would move forward
too much, which could increase injury. The
shoulder belt should fit
against your body.

Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should
last about two years.

3 1/2 seconds to
unlock and unlatch
the rear glass. If your vehicle has
an automatic transmission, the transmission must be
in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
If your vehicle has
a manual transmission, you must engage the
parking brake.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters
with you when you go to your
dealer. When
the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only two transmitters
matched
to it.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won’t
work at the normal range in any location.
If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time to change the battery.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.
