6. To tighten the belt, push down on the child
restraint, pull the shoulder portion of the belt
to tighten the lap portion of the belt and
feed the shoulder belt back into the retractor.
If you are using a forward-facing child
restraint, you may find it helpful to use your
knee to push down on the child restraint
as you tighten the belt. You should not be able
to pull more of the belt from the retractor
once the lock has been set.7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
8. If the airbag or airbags are off, the off symbol
on the instrument panel near the clock will be
lit and stay lit when the key is turned to
ON or START.
If a child restraint has been installed and the off
symbol is not lit, turn the vehicle off. Remove
the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the
child restraint.
If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting
the vehicle, the off symbol is still not lit, check to
make sure that the vehicle’s seatback is not
pressing the child restraint into the seat cushion.
If this happens, slightly recline the vehicle’s
seatback and adjust the seat cushion if possible.
Also make sure the child restraint is not trapped
under the vehicle head restraint. If this happens,
adjust the head restraint.

Passenger Sensing System
Your vehicle has a passenger sensing system for
the right front passenger position. The passenger
airbag status indicator will be visible when you
turn your ignition key to ON or START.
The airbag off symbol
will be visible near the
clock, located in the
center of the instrument
panel, during the
system check.
When the system check is complete, the airbag off
symbol will be visible under certain conditions.
SeePassenger Airbag Status Indicator on
page 165. The passenger sensing system will turn
off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped)
under certain conditions. The driver’s airbags are
not part of the passenger sensing system.The passenger sensing system works with a
sensor that is part of the right front passenger’s
seat cushion. The sensor is designed to detect the
presence of a properly-seated occupant and
determine if the passenger’s frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped)
should be enabled (may inflate) or not.
Accident statistics show that children are safer if
they are restrained in the rear, rather than the front
seat. We recommend that child restraints be
secured in a rear seat, including an infant riding in
a rear-facing infant seat, a child riding in a
forward-facing child seat, and an older child riding
in a booster seat.
Your vehicle has a rear seat that will accommodate
a rear-facing child restraint. A label on the sun
visor says, “Never put a rear-facing child seat
in the front.” This is because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys.

The passenger sensing system is designed to turn
off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped) if:
•The right front passenger seat is unoccupied.
•The system determines that an infant is
present in a rear-facing infant seat.
•The system determines that a small child is
present in a forward-facing child restraint.
•The system determines that a small child is
present in a booster seat.
•A right front passenger takes his/her weight off
of the seat for a period of time.
•The right front passenger seat is occupied by
a smaller person, such as a child who has
outgrown child restraints.
•Or, if there is a critical problem with the airbag
system or the passenger sensing system.When the passenger sensing system has turned
off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag
and seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped),
the off symbol near the clock will light and stay
lit to remind you that the airbag or airbags are off.
SeePassenger Airbag Status Indicator on
page 165.
If a child restraint has been installed and the off
symbol is not lit, turn the vehicle off. Remove
the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the
child restraint following the child restraint
manufacturer’s directions and refer toSecuring a
Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position
on page 62.

Clock
Your vehicle has a digital clock. If you have the
wagon, the clock is located in the center of the
instrument panel below the air outlets. If you have a
hatchback, the clock is located in the center of the
instrument panel above the air outlets. When the
ignition is turned to ACC or ON, the time is
displayed in the digital clock. There are
three adjusting buttons for the digital clock:H (Hour):To go forward one hour, press the
H button once. To go forward more than one hour,
press and hold the button until the correct hour
is reached.
M (Minute):To go forward one minute, press
the M button once. To go forward more than
one minute, press and hold the button until the
correct minute is reached.
S (Set):To reset the time to the nearest hour,
press the S button.
For example, if this button is pressed while the
time is between 8:00 and 8:29, the display is set to
8:00. If this button is pressed while the time is
between 8:30 and 8:59, the display is set to 9:00.
After disconnecting the battery or replacing the
fuse, reset the clock.

Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating,
cooling and ventilation for your vehicle.
9(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan
speed. In any setting other than off, the fan
will run continuously with the ignition on. The fan
must be on in order for the air conditioning
compressor to run.To change the current mode, select one of the
following from the middle knob:
E(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
((Bi-Level):This mode directs about half of the
air to the instrument panel outlets, and then
directs the remaining air to the floor outlets.
5(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the floor outlets. Some of the air will also be
directed to the windshield, instrument panel side
outlets, and the rear outlets. Be sure to keep
the area under the front seats clear to allow the
flow of air to the rear compartment.
The middle knob can also be used to select the
defog and defrost modes. Information on defogging
and defrosting can be found later in this section.
Temperature Control:Turn the right knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to manually
increase or decrease the temperature inside your
vehicle. Turn the knob to the blue area to get
cool air and to the red area to get warm air.

Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity or moisture condensing on the cool
window glass. This can be minimized if the climate
control system is used properly. There are
two modes to clear fog or frost from your
windshield. Use the defog mode to clear the
windows of fog or moisture and warm the
passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove fog
or frost from the windshield more quickly.
Select one of these available modes from the
right knob.
É(Defog):This mode directs most of the air to
the windshield and the floor outlets. A small
amount of air is also directed to the outboard
outlets for the side windows and to the instrument
panel side outlets.When you select this mode, the system runs the
air-conditioning compressor. To defog the windows
faster, turn the temperature control knob
clockwise to the warmest setting.
0(Defrost):This mode directs most of the air to
the windshield and the outboard outlets for the
side windows. A small amount of air is also
directed to the instrument panel side outlets.
When you select this mode, the system runs the
air-conditioning compressor. To defrost the
windows faster, turn the temperature control knob
clockwise to the warmest setting.
Do not drive the vehicle until all windows are clear.

If the airbag readiness light stays on after you
start the vehicle or comes on when you are driving,
your airbag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.
{CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light stays on after
you start your vehicle, it means the airbag
system may not be working properly.
The airbags in your vehicle may not
in ate in a crash, or they could even
in ate without a crash. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your
vehicle serviced right away if the airbag
readiness light stays on after you start
your vehicle.
The airbag readiness light should flash for a few
seconds when you turn the ignition to ON.
If the light does not come on then, have it fixed so
it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
Your vehicle has a passenger airbag status
indicator in the clock, located in the center of the
instrument panel.
When the ignition key is
turned to ON or START,
the passenger airbag
status indicator will light
for several seconds
as a system check.
Then, after several more seconds, if the off
symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right front passenger’s
frontal airbag and seat-mounted side impact airbag
(if equipped). SeePassenger Sensing System
on page 76for more on this, including important
safety information.
