case. Replace with a CR1620 or
equivalent battery.
5. Close the lid and install the
screw securely. Door Locks
{ WarningUnlocked 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 will not
open it. The chance of being
thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash is increased if the
doors are not locked. So, all
passengers should wear
safety belts properly and the
doors should be locked
whenever the vehicle is
driven. .
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
(Continued) Warning (Continued) injuries or even death from
heat stroke. Always lock the
vehicle whenever leaving it. .
Outsiders can easily enter
through an unlocked door
when you slow down or stop
the vehicle. Locking the doors
can help prevent this from
happening.
Manual Door Locks Lock and unlock the doors from the
outside using the key or the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter,
if equipped.
If the vehicle is equipped with
Keyless Entry, see Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation on

key, the power door lock switch,
or the RKE transmitter. .

and locked and the ignition key is in
the OFF position.
Vehicle Security System
Activation The security system will activate as
follows: .

horn sounds intermittently. The
alarm automatically turns off
after a period of time. The alarm

The vehicle is automatically
immobilized when the key is
removed.
This security light blinks whenever
the ignition is placed in LOCK, OFF,
or ACC. The system is automatically
disarmed when the vehicle is
started with the correct key. The key
uses a transponder that matches an
immobilizer control unit in the
vehicle and automatically disarms
the system. Only the correct key
starts the vehicle. The vehicle may
not start if the key is damaged.
If the immobilizer system is
malfunctioning, the security light will
remain on while the ignition switch
is placed in ON.
If the engine will not start using a
registered key:
1. Leave the ignition in ON for
about five seconds.
2. Turn the ignition to OFF or
LOCK, and wait for about
10 seconds.

Seats and Restraints 3-3Head Restraint Removal and
Reinstallation
{ WarningIf the head restraints are removed
for any reason, they should be
securely stored to prevent them
from causing injury to passengers
or damage to the vehicle in case
of sudden braking or an accident.
Use the following procedure to
remove the head restraint:
1. Pull the head restraint up to the
highest position.
2. Press and hold the lock knob.
3. Remove the head restraint from
the seat.
4. Store the head restraint properly
in a secure place so it is not
loose in the vehicle.
5. Reinstall and properly adjust the
head restraint before an
occupant uses the seating
position. Use the following procedure to
reinstall the head restraint.
1. Align the head restraint stalks
with the holes in the seat. Make
sure that the head restraint is
facing the correct direction. The
stalk with the notch (notches)
must be installed in the hole with
the lock knobs.
2. Push and hold the lock knob and
push the head restraint down.
3. Properly adjust the head
restraint before an occupant
uses the seating position.
{ Warning
With head restraints that are not
installed and adjusted properly,
there is a greater chance that
occupants will suffer a neck/
spinal injury in a crash. Do not
drive until the head restraints for
all occupants are installed and
adjusted properly. Front Seats Seat Adjustment
{ WarningYou can lose control of the
vehicle if you try to adjust a driver
seat while the vehicle is moving.
Adjust the driver seat only when
the vehicle is not moving.

3-6 Seats and Restraints
Front Seat Armrest
There is an armrest on the inboard
side of the driver seat. To raise or
lower the armrest, push up or pull
down on the armrest.
Folding Seatback The front passenger seatback may
fold flat. { WarningIf you fold the seatback forward to
carry longer objects, such as skis,
be sure any such cargo is not
near an airbag. In a crash, an
inflating airbag might force that
object toward a person. This
could cause severe injury or even
death. Secure objects away from
the area in which an airbag would
inflate. For more information, see
Where Are the Airbags? on
page 3-17 and Vehicle Load
Limits on page 9-9 .
{ Warning
Things you put on this seatback
can strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.
Remove or secure all items
before driving. { CautionFolding a seat with the safety
belts still fastened may cause
damage to the seat or the safety
belts. Always unbuckle the safety
belts and return them to their
normal stowed position before
folding a seat.
To fold the seatback:
1. Lower the head restraint all the
way. See Head Restraints on
page 3-2 .
2. Move the seat as far back as
possible. See Seat Adjustment
on page 3-3 .

Seats and Restraints 3-112. Pick up the latch plate and pull
the belt across you. Do not let it
get twisted.
The lap-shoulder belt may lock if
you pull the belt across you very
quickly. If this happens, let the
belt go back slightly to unlock it.
Then pull the belt across you
more slowly.
If the shoulder portion of the
passenger belt is pulled out all
the way, the child restraint
locking feature may be engaged.
If this happens, let the belt go
back all the way and start again. 3. Push the latch plate into the
buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to
make sure it is secure. If the belt
is not long enough, see Safety
Belt Extender on page 3-13 .
Position the release button on
the buckle so that the safety belt
could be quickly unbuckled if
necessary. 4. If equipped with a shoulder belt
height adjuster, move it to the
height that is right for you. See
“ Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster ”
later in this section for
instructions on use and
important safety information.
5. To make the lap part tight, pull
up on the shoulder belt.

Seats and Restraints 3-13This could cause breathing
problems for people with a history of
asthma or other breathing trouble.
Pretensioners work only once. If the
pretensioners activate in a crash,
they will need to be replaced, and
the vehicle's safety belt system will
probably need other new parts. See
Replacing Safety Belt System Parts
after a Crash on page 3-14 .
Safety Belt Use During
Pregnancy Safety belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women. Like all
occupants, they are more likely to
be seriously injured if they do not
wear safety belts. A pregnant woman should wear a
lap-shoulder belt, and the lap
portion should be worn as low as
possible, below the rounding,
throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus is
to protect the mother. When a safety
belt is worn properly, it is more likely
that the fetus will not be hurt in a
crash. For pregnant women, as for
anyone, the key to making safety
belts effective is wearing them
properly. Safety Belt Extender If the vehicle's safety belt will fasten
around you, you should use it.
But if a safety belt is not long
enough, your dealer will order you
an extender. When you go in to
order it, take the heaviest coat you
will wear, so the extender will be
long enough for you. To help avoid
personal injury, do not let someone
else use it, and use it only for the
seat it is made to fit. The extender
has been designed for adults. Never
use it for securing child seats. To
wear it, attach it to the regular safety
belt. See the instruction sheet that
comes with the extender.
Safety System Check Now and then, check that the safety
belt reminder light, safety belts,
buckles, latch plates, retractors, and
anchorages are all working properly.
Look for any other loose or
damaged safety belt system parts
that might keep a safety belt system
from doing its job. See your dealer
