76 Seats and Restraints
Rear-facing child restraints should
not be installed in the vehicle, even
if the airbag is off.
If a child restraint uses a top tether,
seeLower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) 071 for
top tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor
if a national or local law requires
that the top tether be anchored, or if
the instructions that come with the
child restraint say that the top strap
must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have
a top tether, and that the tether be
attached.
Securing a Forward-Facing Child
Restraint
When using the lap-shoulder belt to
secure a forward-facing child
restraint in this position, follow the
instructions that came with the child
restraint and the following
instructions: 1. Move the seat as far back as it
will go before securing the
forward-facing child restraint.
Move the seat upward or the
seatback to an upright position,
if needed, to get a tight
installation of the child
restraint.
When the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag, the off indicator on the
passenger airbag status
indicator should light and stay
lit. See Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator 090.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder portions
of the vehicle’s seat belt
through or around the restraint.
The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
4. Push the latch plate into the
buckle until it clicks.
Position the release button on
the buckle, away from the child
restraint system, so that the
seat belt could be quickly
unbuckled if necessary.

86 Instruments and Controls
Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly
when the engine is started to
indicate they are working. When
one of the warning lights comes on
and stays on while driving, or when
one of the gauges shows there may
be a problem, check the section that
explains what to do. Waiting to do
repairs can be costly and even
dangerous.

Here are four things that some
owners ask about. None of these
show a problem with the fuel gauge:
.At the service station, the gas
pump shuts off before the gauge
reads full.
. It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge may have indicated the
tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than
half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
. The indicator moves a little when
turning a corner or speeding up.
. The gauge goes back to empty
when the ignition is turned off.
Seat Belt Reminders
The light and chime remind you to
fasten your seat belts. The light
illuminates when the ignition is
placed in ON or START and remains
illuminated until the driver ’s seat belt
is fastened. At the same time, the
chime sounds for about six seconds
unless the driver ’s seat belt is
securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light may also
illuminate if the front passenger ’s
seat belt is not fastened when the
front passenger seat is occupied.
For seven seconds after the ignition
switch is placed in ON, the system
does not activate the warning light
for the front passenger.
{Warning
If the seat belt warning light stays
on continuously while the ignition
is turned ON with all doors closed
and all seat belts fastened, it may
indicate a malfunction in the
system. Have the system
checked by your dealer.
See Seat Belts 043.
Airbag Readiness Light
This light shows if there is an
electrical problem with the airbag
system. The system check includes
the airbag sensor(s), passenger
sensing system, the pretensioners,
the airbag modules, the wiring, and
the crash sensing and diagnostic
module. For more information on the
airbag system, see Airbag System
0 49.
The airbag readiness light comes on
for several seconds when the
vehicle is started. If the light does
not come on then, have it fixed
immediately.

{Warning
If the airbag readiness light stays
on or comes on and flashes after
the vehicle is started or comes on
while driving, it means the airbag
system might not be working
properly. The airbags in the
vehicle might not inflate in a
crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid
injury, have the vehicle serviced
right away.
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
{Warning
The front passenger airbag is
designed to automatically turn off
under some conditions. Read this
section carefully to learn how it
operates. Proper use of the seat,
seat belt, and child restraints is
necessary for most effective(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
protection. Failure to follow all
instructions in this manual
concerning the use of seats, seat
belts, and child restraints can
increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.
The passenger airbag status
indicator is under the climate
controls.
After the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, the passenger
airbag status indicator on the
instrument panel will light for about
seven seconds and then go out or
stay lit depending on the front
outboard seat occupied status. The
passenger airbag status indicator
operates as follows:
.Passenger seat occupied by a
small adult, child, or child
restraint: The passenger airbag
status indicator lights to indicate
that the front passenger frontal
airbag is off and will not inflate in
a collision.
. Occupied passenger seat and
the passenger meets the
conditions outlined in this
manual: The passenger airbag
status indicator is not lit to
indicate that the front passenger
frontal airbag is operational.

.Passenger seat unoccupied: The
passenger airbag status
indicator lights to indicate that
the front passenger frontal
airbag is off and will not inflate in
a collision.
See Passenger Sensing System
0 56 for more information.
Charging System Light
This light will come on briefly when
the ignition is turned on, and the
engine is not running, as a check to
show it is working.
It should go out when the engine is
started. If it stays on, or comes on
while driving, there may be a
problem with the electrical charging
system. Have it checked by your
dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery. If a short
distance must be driven with the light on, turn off all accessories,
such as the radio and air
conditioner, to help reduce the drain
on the battery.
Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (Check Engine
Light)
A computer system called OBD II
(On-Board Diagnostics-Second
Generation) monitors the operation
of the vehicle to ensure emissions
are at acceptable levels, helping to
maintain a clean environment. The
malfunction indicator lamp comes
on when the vehicle is placed in
ON, as a check to show it is
working. If it does not, have the
vehicle serviced by your dealer. See
Ignition Positions
0145 for more
information.
If the malfunction indicator lamp
comes on while the engine is
running, this indicates that the
OBD II system has detected a
problem and diagnosis and service
might be required.
Malfunctions often are indicated by
the system before any problem is
apparent. Being aware of the light
can prevent more serious damage
to the vehicle. This system also
assists the service technician in
correctly diagnosing any
malfunction.
Caution
If the vehicle is continually driven
with this light on, the emission
controls might not work as well,
the vehicle fuel economy might
not be as good, and the engine
might not run as smoothly. This
could lead to costly repairs that
might not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.

92 Instruments and Controls
Caution
Modifications made to the engine,
transmission, exhaust, intake,
or fuel system of the vehicle or
the replacement of the original
tires with other than those of the
same size and type as the
originals can affect the vehicle's
emission controls and can cause
this light to come on.
Modifications to these systems
could lead to costly repairs not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
This could also result in a failure
to pass a required Emission
Inspection/Maintenance test. See
Accessories and Modifications
0178.
This light comes on during a
malfunction in one of two ways:
Light Flashing : A misfire condition
has been detected. A misfire
increases vehicle emissions and
could damage the emission control
system on the vehicle. Diagnosis
and service might be required. To prevent more serious damage to
the vehicle:
.
Do not drive at speeds above
72 km/h (45 mph)
. Avoid hard accelerations.
. Avoid steep uphill grades.
If the light continues to flash, find a
safe place to stop and park the
vehicle. Turn the vehicle off, wait at
least 10 seconds, and restart the
engine. If the light is still flashing,
follow the previous steps and see
your dealer for service as soon as
possible.
Light On Steady : An emission
control system malfunction has
been detected on the vehicle.
Diagnosis and service might be
required.
The following may correct an
emission control system
malfunction:
. Check that the fuel cap is fully
installed. See Filling the Tank
0 172. The diagnostic system
can determine if the fuel cap has
been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing fuel
cap allows fuel to evaporate into
the atmosphere. A few driving
trips with the cap properly
installed should turn the light off.
. Check that good quality fuel is
used. Poor fuel quality causes
the engine not to run as
efficiently as designed and may
cause stalling after start-up,
stalling when the vehicle is
changed into gear, misfiring,
hesitation on acceleration,
or stumbling on acceleration.
These conditions might go away
once the engine is warmed up.
If one or more of these conditions
occurs, change the fuel brand used.
It may require at least one full tank
of the proper fuel to turn the light off.
See Fuel 0170.
If none of the above have made the
light turn off, your dealer can check
the vehicle. The dealer has the
proper test equipment and
diagnostic tools to fix any
mechanical or electrical problems
that might have developed.
