Side air bag (if equipped)
Side air bags are stored in the left
side of the driver’s seat and right side
of the front passenger’s seat.

(side collision), they will inflate.

(Continued)
• If the driver brakes the vehicle
heavily prior to an impact,
unbelted occupants will be
thrown forward. If the front
passenger is not wearing the
safety belts, they will be
directly in front of the air bag
when deployment occurs.In
that situation,serious injury
or death is possible.
• Never allow front passenger
to put their hands, feet or face
on or close to the instrument
panel. In the event of air bag
deployment,such a misposi-
tioned occupant would be
likely to suffer severe injury or
death.
• Never allow children, pregnant
women or weak persons to sit
in the front passenger seat.
They may be seriously injured
by the air bag inflation when
air bag deploys.
(Continued)(Continued)
• Never allow children, pregnant
women or weak persons to sit
in the front passenger seat.
Do not put child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger's
seat either. They may be seri-
ously injured by the airbag
inflation when airbag deploys.
• Do not put objects or stickers
on the instrument panel. Do
not apply any accessory to the
front windshield. Do not install
aftermarket mirrors or acces-
sories on the factory-installed
rearview mirror. Any of these
could interfere with the
deployment of the air bag or
could hit your body at high
speed and cause severe bodi-
ly injury and even death.

Outside rearview mirror
Be sure to adjust mirror angles
before driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both
left-hand and right-hand outside
rearview mirrors. The mirrors can
either be adjusted remotely with the
control levers or remote switch,
depending on the type your vehicle
has. The mirror heads can be folded
back to prevent damage when using
an automatic car wash or passing in
a narrow street.
MIRRORS
CAUTION
Do not scrape ice off the mirror
face; this may damage the sur-
face of the glass. If ice should
restrict movement of the mirror,
do not force the mirror for
adjustment. To remove ice, use
a deicer spray, or a sponge or
soft cloth with very warm water.
WARNING
• The right outside rearview
mirror is convex. Objects seen
in the mirror are closer than
they appear.
•Use your interior rearview mir-
ror or direct observation to
determine the actual distance
of following vehicles when
changing lanes.

automatically controls the headlight
glare from vehicles behind you.

matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.When the ignition switch is ON, the

WARNING- Driving under
the influence of alcohol or
drugs
Drinking and driving is danger-
ous. Drunk driving is the num-
ber one contributor to the high-
way death toll each year. Even a
small amount of alcohol will
affect your reflexes, perceptions
and judgement.
You are much more likely to
have a serious accident if you
drink and drive.
If you are drinking or taking
drugs, don’t drive. Do not ride
with a driver who has been
drinking or taking drugs.
Choose a designated driver or
call a cab.
Driving while under the influ-
ence of drugs is as dangerous
or more dangerous than driving
drunk.
