Installing a child restraint on a
front passenger’ s seat is forbid-
den.
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in the front passenger’s seat. If the air
bag deploys, it would impact the rear-fac-
ing child restraint, causing serious or
fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraint in the front passenger’s
seat either. If the front passenger air bag
inflates, it would cause ser ious or fatal
injuries to the improperly positioned or
improperly restrained child.

WARNING
Automotive fuels are flammable/
explosive materials. When refuel-
ing, pleas e note the following
guidelines carefully. Failure to fol-
low these guidelines may result in
s evere per sonal injury, severe
burns or death by fire or explo sion.
• Before refueling alway s note the
location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available, at
the gas station facility.
Note and follow all safety precau-
tions and warning posted at the
facility.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel filler cap, you should elimi-
nate potentially dangerou s static
electricity discharge by touching
another metal part of the front of
the vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or
other gas source.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refueling.
Do not touch, rub or slide against
any item or fabric (polyes ter,
satin, nylon, etc.) capable of pro-
ducing static electricity. Static
electricity dis charge can ignite
fuel vapor s res ulting in explo-
sion. If you must re-enter the
vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially dangerous
s tatic electricity dis charge by
touching a metal part of the vehi-
cle, away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline source.
•
When us ing a portable fuel con-
tainer be s ure to place the contain-
er on the ground prior to refueling.
Static electricity dis charge from
the container can ignite fuel vapor s
caus ing a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehicle
s hould be maintained until the fill-
ing is complete. Us e only portable
fuel container s des igned to carry
and store gas oline.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Do not us e cellular phones
around a gas station or while
refueling any vehicle. Electric
current and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapor s
causing a fire. If you must use
your cellular phone u se it in a
place away from the ga s station.
• When refueling alway s shut the
engine off. Spark s produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapor s
causing a fire. Alway s insure that
the engine i s OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling i s
complete, check to make sure the
fuel filler cap and door are
securely closed, before starting

while at a gas station especially
during refueling. Automotive fuel
i s highly flammable and can,
when ignited, re sult in explosion
by flames.
• If a fire breaks out during refuel- ing, leave the vicinity of the vehi-
cle, and immediately contact the
manager of the ga s station or
contact the police and local fire
department. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.CAUTION

Electric type (if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automatical-
ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensor
mounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and through a
chemical reaction, automatically controls
the headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle. Type A (if equipped)
Press the button (
➀) to turn the automat-
ic- dimming function on, the mirror indi-
cator light will illuminate.

➀) once again to turn
the automatic- dimming function off. The
mirror indicator light will turn off.  Type B (if equipped)
Press the “O” button to turn the automat-
ic- dimming function off. The mirror indi-
cator light will turn off.
