Enhanced Driver Seat Belt Use Reminder System
(BeltAlertŸ)
If the driver 's seat belt has not been buckled within 60
seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle speed is
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the Enhanced Warning
System (BeltAlertŸ) will alert the driver to buckle their
seat belt. The driver should also instruct all other occu-
pants to buckle their seat belts. Once the warning is
triggered, the Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlertŸ)
will continue to chime and flash the Seat Belt Warning
Light for 96 seconds or until the driver 's seat belt is
buckled.The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlertŸ) will be
reactivated if the driver 's seat belt is unbuckled for more
than 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5
mph (8 km/h).
The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlertŸ) can be en-
abled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by
following these steps:
NOTE:
The following steps must occur within the first 60
seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON
or START position. The manufacturer does not recom-
mend deactivating the Enhanced Warning System
(BeltAlertŸ).
·Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, and
buckle the driver 's seat belt.
·Turn the ignition key to the ACCESSORY/RUN
position (engine does not need to be running), and
wait for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn off.
·Within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle, unbuckle
and then re-buckle the driver 's seat belt at least three
times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt
buckled.

completed the programming.
The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlertŸ) can be reac-
tivated by repeating this procedure.

(BeltAlertŸ) has been deactivated, the Seat Belt Warning
Light will continue to illuminate while the driver 's seat
belt remains unfastened.

be used in the rear seat whenever possible. If they
must be used in the front passenger seat, move the
seat to the full rear position. Failure to do so could
kill or cause serious injuries to the child.
²Older children up to and including 12 year olds,
should be seated in the rear seat with their seat
belt properly worn and with an appropriate
booster seat if needed.

WARNING!
²Air bags inflate very quickly and with great force.
In certain situations, contact with an inflating air
bag may cause small cuts, abrasions, and bruises.
Event Data Recording
Your vehicle is equipped with an ``EDR'' - Event Data
Recorder which is capable of collecting and storing data
in the event of an air bag deployment.
The EDR may record the following information:
± Condition of specific vehicle systems;
± Whether the driver and front passenger seat belts were
buckled;
± Condition of SRS warning light;
± Diagnostic code(s).

SRS warning light
There is a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning
light on the instrument panel. The system checks itself
each time the ignition is turned on and the light indicates
if there is a problem.
When the ignition key is turned to the ``ON'' or ``START''
position, the warning light should come on for several
seconds and then go out. This means the system isworking properly. The SRS warning light is shared by the
driver 's air bag, the front passenger 's air bag, and the
optional side air bags.
The air bags will operate only when the ignition switch is
in the ``ON'' or ``START'' position
WARNING!
²If any of the following conditions occur, the SRS
is not working properly and you should immedi-
ately have it inspected by an authorized dealer;
²The SRS warning light does not illuminate
when you start the vehicle.
²The SRS warning light does not go out after
several seconds.
²The SRS warning light comes on while driving.
SRS servicing
The entire SRS must be inspected by an authorized dealer
10 years after the vehicle's manufacture date as shown on
the certification label located on the center pillar of the
vehicle, on the driver's side.

CAUTION!
While driving, care should always be taken to main-
tain normal engine operating temperature. If the
indicator enters the ªHº (hot) position while driving,
the engine is overheating. (Refer to ªEngine over-
heatingº on page 277.)
Turn signal indicators/hazard warning lights
The arrow will flash in unison with the
corresponding exterior turn signals when
the turn signal lever is operated.
Both arrows will flash intermittently when the hazard
warning flasher switch is pressed.
NOTE: If the signal indicator blinks too fast, the cause
may be a faulty turn-signal connection or faulty lamp
bulb.
High beam indicator
A blue light illuminates when the head-
lights are on high beam.
Theft-alarm indicator
When the theft-alarm system has been
armed, the indicator located in the instru-
ment cluster will illuminate and go off in 20
seconds, indicating the system is armed. (See ªTheft-
alarm systemº on page 48.)
Door-ajar warning light and chime
This light illuminates when any door is
open or not completely closed.
When the vehicle is moving at more than 5
mph (8 km/h) and the door is open or ajar,
a chime will sound to inform the driver that
the door is not properly shut.
CAUTION!
Before driving, check to ensure that the door-ajar
warning light is off.
