Your vehicle has seat
belts and other safety
features that help
protect you and your pas-
sengers in an accident.Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or deathin various types of cras
hes. For added protec-
tion during a severe fr
ontal collision, your
vehicle has a Supplemen
tal Restraint System
(SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen- gers. The seats, head restraints, and door
locks also are safety equipment, which must be used correctly. Always check the following before you drive: That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt.  That infants and small children are prop- erly secured in an appropriate childrestraint system in the rear seat.  That all doors are fully closed and locked.  That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.

WA R N I N G Persons who are unable to feel tempera- ture change or skin
pain due to age, ill-
ness, injury, medication, alcohol use, fatigue or other phys
ical conditions or
who have sensitive sk
in may suffer burns
when using the heated seat even at low temperatures. To reduce the risk of burns,people with such conditions must use care when using the heated seat.
CAUTION Switch off the heated seats when not in use. Operate the heaters at the “HI” position forquick heating. After the seat has becomewarm, set the heater switch to the “LO” posi- tion to keep it warm. S
light variations in the
seat temperature may be
felt while using the
heated seats. This is caused by the operation of the heater’s internal thermostat and does not indicate a malfunction. Do not place heavy obj
ects on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or
other pointed objects
into the seat. Do not place a blanket,
cushion, or other
insulating material on
the seat while using
the heater; doing so can
cause the heater ele-
ment to overheat. When cleaning the seat, do not use benzine, kerosene, gasoline, alc
ohol, or other organic
solvents; doing so can cause damage not only to the surface of the seat, but also to the heater. If water or any other li
quid is spilled on the
seat, allow it to dry thoroughly beforeattempting to use the heater. Turn the heater off immediately if it
appears to be malfunc-
tioning during use.

WA R N I N G Never adjust the seats to make a cargo area when the vehicle is
in motion or on a
slope. The seats co
uld move more than
necessary or move suddenly causing a serious accident
and/or injury.
After folding down a
seat or returning a
seat back to its or
iginal position, make
sure the seat is firmly secured. Also check to make sure that the seat belts are in front of the seatbacks, and not caughtbehind the seatbacks. If the seat is not secured, it could move causing a serious accident and/or injury. Do not allow anyone to ride in the cargo area while the vehicle
is in motion. People
who are not properly seated and restrained can be seriously injured or killed in an accident. The cargo area in the
rear of the vehicle
should never be used as a play area bychildren. All children should be properly restrained in a restra
int device that offers
the maximum protection for their size andage. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page 4-14.
