Power windows (if equipped)
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to operate.
Each door has a power window switch
that controls that door’s window.
However, the driver has a power window
lock switch which can block the operation
of passenger windows.
If you notice buffeting and pulsation
(wind shock) with either side window
open, you should open the opposite win-
dow slightly to reduce the condition.
✽
NOTICE
• To prevent the power window system
from the possibility of damage, do not
open or close two windows at the same
time. This will also ensure the longevi-
ty of the fuse.
• Never try to operate the main switch
on the driver's door and the individ-
ual door window switch in opposing
directions at the same time. If this is
done, the window will stop and cannot
be opened or closed.

window switch that controls all the win-
dows in the vehicle. To open or close a
window, press down (5) or pull up (5) the
front portion of the corresponding switch.Automatic power window down
(driver’s window, if equipped)
Depressing the power window switch
momentarily to the second detent posi-
tion (6) completely lowers the driver’s

released. To stop the window at the
desired position while the window is in
operation, pull up the switch momentarily
to the opposite direction of the window

bag injuries including the possi-
bility of severe injury or death,
always sit as far back as possible
by moving the seat far back, while
still maintaining good vehicle
control. Serious injury or death
may be caused due to the deploy-
ment of the passenger’s air bag.

result in loss of control, and an
accident causing death,serious
injury, or property damage.
• Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious
or fatal injury in a sudden stop or
collision.
• Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap por-
tion of the safety belt, or lap belt,
snug and low across the hips.
This position puts your safety
belts in the best position to pro-
tect you in case of an accident.

bag injuries including the possi-
bility of severe injury or death,
always sit as far back a
s possible
from the steering wheel so that
your chest is away at least 10

dent. If a front seat is reclined dur-
ing an accident, the occupant’s hips
may slide under the lap portion of
the safety belt applying great force
to the unprotected abdomen or
neck. Serious or fatal internal
injuries could result. Keep the seat-
backs in a comfortably upright
position whenever the vehicle is in
motion.

CAUTION
• When returning the rear seat-
backs to the upright position,
remember to return the rear
shoulder belts to their proper
position.
• Do not remove the floor carpet in
your vehicle. Emission control
system components cause high
exhaust temperatures under the
floor.
WARNING- Cargo
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from being thrown about
the vehicle in a collision and caus-
ing injury to the vehicle occupants.
CAUTION
• Make sure the engine is off, the
transaxle is in P and the parking
brake is applied whenever load-
ing or unloading cargo. Vehicle
may move if shift lever is inadver-
tently moved to another position.
• Be careful when loading cargo
through the rear passenger seats
to prevent damage to the vehicle
interior.
• When cargo is loaded through the
rear passenger seats,ensure the
cargo is properly secured to pre-
vent it from moving while driving.
Unsecured cargo in the passen-
ger compartment can cause dam-
age to the vehicle or injury to it’s
occupants.

Knowing your vehicle
Safety belt restraint system We strongly recommend that the driver
and all passengers be properly
restrained at all times by using the safety
belts provided with the vehicle. Proper
use of the safety belts decreases the risk
of severe injury or death in accidents or
sudden stops. In most states, and in
Canada, the law requires their use.
All seats have lap/shoulder belts. Inertial
locks in the safety belt retractors allow all
of the lap/shoulder safety belts to remain
unlocked during normal vehicle opera-
tion. This allows the occupants some
freedom of movement and increased
comfort while using the safety belts. If a
force is applied to the vehicle, such as a
strong stop, a sharp turn, or a collision,
the safety belt retractors will automatical-
ly lock the safety belts.
Since the inertial locks do not require a
collision in order to lock up, you may
become aware of the safety belts locking
while braking or going around sharp cor-
ners.
Always use the rear seat position(s) to
install your child restraint(s).The rear safety belts use a special auto-
lock feature designed to allow a child
restraint to be used in these positions
without an added locking clip. They nor-
mally lock only under extreme or emer-
gency conditions (emergency lock
mode). However they can be adjusted so
that they remain fixed and locked when a
child restraint system is placed in these
positions. (Use this auto-lock mode only
to secure a child restraint, never for pas-
sengers restrained by the safety belts.)
Page 3-42 gives instructions on placing
the safety belt in the auto lock mode.
The drivers safety belt can only operate
in the emergency lock mode.
WARNING- Safety belts
To minimize the risk of serious or
fatal injury in an accident, the driv-
er and all passengers should use
the appropriate safety restraints for
their age and size. The presence of
air bags does not change the need
to be properly restrained by a safe-
ty belt or size-appropriate child
restraint. In fact, air bags are
designed to work the best when
passengers are correctly restrained
in the vehicle.
• Be sure you are familiar with the
information in this section,
including the information on
infant and child restraints.
• Read the safety warnings on the
sun visors of your vehicle also.
WARNING- Child restraint
in front seat
Never install a child restraint sys-
tem in the front passenger position,
as an inflating air bag could cause
serious or fatal injury to a child in
that position.

Lap/shoulder belt
To f asten the front lap/shoulder belt:
1. Grasp the buckle and tongue plate.
2. Slowly pull the lap/shoulder belt out
from the retractor.3. Insert the tongue plate (1) into the
open end of the buckle (2) until an
audible “click” is heard, indicating the
belt is locked in the buckle.4. Position the lap portion (1) of the belt
across your lap as LOW ON THE HIPS
as possible to reduce the risk of sliding
under it during an accident. Adjust the
belt to a SNUG FIT by pulling up on
the shoulder portion (2) of the safety
belt. The belt retractor is designed to
take up excess webbing automatically
and to maintain tension on the belt. For
your safety, do not put any excess
slack into the safety belt at any loca-
tion.
