SEAT BELT
•Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen.To remove slack in the lap portion,
pull up a bit on the shoulder belt.To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and
pull on the lap belt.A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck.
The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision.You are
more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt.The lap and
shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could move too far
forward, increasing the possibility of injury.Wear your seat belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the
belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced
after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices that are
designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not
buckled up properly.You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or
you can be thrown out of the vehicle.Always be sure you and others in your vehicle
are buckled up properly.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS
•This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right front passenger as a
supplement to the seat belt restraint system.The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in
every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing the
seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on the severity and type of collision.Advanced
Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains to protect the driver,
front and rear passengers sitting next to a window.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags to provide enhanced
protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag to provide enhanced
protection and work together with the Driver Advanced Front Air Bag during a frontal impact.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light
is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving,
have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.

•Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS).
WARNING!
•Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.The air
bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the air bags
won't deploy at all.Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front
Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death.Air bags need room
to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in
the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely
injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in
another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
•Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available.
According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather
than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems.This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
•Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchorage
system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren. LATCH child
restraint anchorage systems are installed in both rear seating positions.
• NEVER install compatible child seats so that two seats share a common lower anchorage.

• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a
constant speed.Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose
control.A collision could be the result. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy

Wind Stop
•The Wind Stop installs in the backseat area of the vehicle.The Wind Stop will not interfere with
power top operation.Therefore, it can remain installed when the top is up.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior water damage, stains or mildew on
the top material:
•Avoid high-pressure car washes, as they can damage the top material.Also, increased
water pressure may force water past the weather strips.
• Remove any standing water from the top and dry the surface before opening it.
Operating the top, opening a door or lowering a window while the top is wet may
allow water to drip into the vehicles interior.
• Use care when washing the vehicle, water pressure directed at the weather strip
seals may cause water to leak into the vehicles interior.
WARNING!
The convertible top does not provide the structural protection that a reinforced metal
roof does and the fabric top cannot be expected to prevent the ejection of the
occupants in a collision.Therefore, it is important that all occupants wear their seat
belts at all times. Death or serious injuries could occur if you are ejected from the
vehicle during a collision.
WIND BUFFETING
•Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting occurs with
the windows down, or top down (convertible models), adjust one or both windows up or down
slightly.
