as the belt is allowed to retract. This
indicates that the retractor is in the
automatic locking mode.

belt is unbuckled and allowed to
retract completely, the retractor will
switch to the vehicle sensitive

[SR05968(ALL)04/95]
RWARNING
Position the shoulder belt height
adjuster so that the belt rests across
the middle of your shoulder. Be sure
the shoulder belt is properly
positioned on your shoulder each
time you use the belt. If the shoulder
belt is off your shoulder, on your
upper arm or neck, there is a greater
risk of severe injury in a collision.

Built-In Child Seat (Wagon Ð If equipped)
[SR26950(ALL)04/95]
The second row seat may include an optional
built-in child safety seat on the passenger side.
The child restraint is to be usedonlyby children
who are at least one year old, weigh between 9
and 27 kilograms (20 and 60 pounds) and whose
shoulders (top) are below the shoulder harness
slots in the seatback.
*
[SR27000(ALL)04/95]
If your child is less than one year old or weighs
less than 9 kilograms (20 pounds),alwaysuse a
rear facing infant or convertible seat because a
child of that size is not sufficiently developed to
withstand crash forces in a front facing position.
Follow the specific manufacturer's instructions
for weight and height restrictions.
*
[SR27051(ALL)03/95]
Children must be properly buckled before riding
in the vehicle. It is the law in every state and
province. This child seat conforms to all
Federal/Canadian motor vehicle safety
standards.
*
[SR27100(ALL)03/95]
Built-in child seat belt retractors
*
[SR27150(ALL)04/95]
The belts on the built-in child seat are equipped
with a retractor that locks when both belt
tongues are latched into the crotch safety belt
buckled.
[SR27251(ALL)04/95]
The retractor will automatically snug the belts
around the child. Frequently check the child
seat's lap and shoulder harness belts for correct
placement and tightness. Use the child seat only
if the harness belts will stay snug with a child
buckled in the seat. If belts do not remain snug,
take the vehicle to the dealer for child seat
repair.

Occasional brake squeal during light to moderate
stops does not affect the function of the brake
system and is normal. However, if the squeal
becomes louder or more frequent, have your
brakes inspected by your dealer or a qualified
service technician.
[DR17350(ALL)02/95]
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
(If equipped)
[DR17450(ALL)11/94]
If your vehicle is equipped with the anti-lock
brake system (ABS), the wheels will not lock and
slide when you press down hard on the brake
pedal. The ABS automatically starts releasing
and reapplying the front brakes independently
and the rear brakes together whenever your
vehicle's wheels start to lock. When this
happens, you will feel the brake pedal pulsate.
This is an indication that the ABS is working
correctly and is normal.
*
[DR17500(ALL)10/93]
If the brake pedal is applied while the vehicle is
driven over uneven road surfaces, the ABS may
cycle and the driver may sense a pulsation in
the brake pedal, accompanied by a slight up and
down movement of the pedal height and a
clicking sound. This may also happen when
driving on an inclined surface such as a
driveway while making a sharp turn. This is a
normal condition.
[DR17600(ALL)04/95]
Each time you turn the ignition key to the ON
position, the ABS will function through one test
cycle. When this happens, the ABS light will
come on for up to five seconds. If the light stays
on longer than five seconds, shut off the engine
and restart. If it remains on, it means the ABS is
disabled and should be serviced immediately to
restore the benefits of the anti-lock feature.
Normal braking is not affected unless the red
BRAKE system warning light is also lit.

318 [SV40050(ALL)04/95]Position the vehicle on a surface that is level on
the front-to-rear direction.
[SV40075(ALL)04/95]
If the vehicle cannot be placed on a true level
surface, the headlamps still can be adjusted
using the VHAD if the slope of the surface is
accurately known and does not differ by more
than 1.2" from true level. A difference of 2.27
inches in height of the surface between the front
and rear wheels corresponds to 1.2" slope.
[SV40100(ALL)04/95]
If the vertical adjuster is within +/s4
graduations about zero, the vertical headlamp
aim is within specification; and if the horizontal
adjuster is within +/s2 graduations about zero,
the horizontal headlamp aim is within
specification.

Replacing the High-Mount Brakelamp Bulb
[SV40830(ALL)04/95]
If you have the sedan, your vehicle has a
brakelamp mounted in the rear window, called a
high-mount brakelamp. The wagon has a
high-mount brakelamp on the outside. You may
need to remove this lamp to replace the
brakelamp bulb.
