WARNING
cChildren may be severely injured or
killed when the supplemental front air
bags inflate if they are not properly re-
strained. Pre-teens and children should
be properly restrained in the rear seat, if
possible.
cNever install a rear-facing child re-
straint in the front seat. An inflating
supplemental front air bag could seri-
ously injure or kill your child. See “Child
restraints” later in this section for
details.
WARNING
Supplemental side air bag (if so
equipped):
cThe supplemental side air bag ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a
frontal impact, rear impact or lower se-
verity side collision. Always wear your
seat belt to help reduce the risk or se-
verity of injury in various kinds of
accidents.

cThe seat belts and the supplemental
side air bag are most effective when
you are sitting well back and upright in
the seat. The side air bag inflates with
great force. Do not allow anyone to
place their hand, leg or face near the
side air bag on the side of the seatback
of the front seat. Do not allow anyone
sitting in the front seat to extend their
hand out of the window or lean against
the door.
cWhen sitting in the rear seat, do not
hold onto the seatback of the front seat.
If the side air bag inflates, you may be
seriously injured. Be especially careful
with children, who should always be
properly restrained. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown
in the illustrations.
cDo not use seat covers on the front
seatbacks. They may interfere with
supplemental side air bag inflation.

MANUAL WINDOWS
The side windows can be opened or closed by
turning the hand crank on each door.
ELECTRIC SUNROOF
This sunroof only operates with the ignition
switch in the ON position.
NOTE:
If the battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, the sunroof may not operate cor-
rectly, and must be reset.
From any sunroof position (full open, partially
open, closed, partially vented and vented) , push
and hold the button in the forward position until
the sunroof vents in the full-up position. This
resets the sunroof motor memory and now the
sunroof will operate correctly.
Sliding the sunroof
To open the sunroof, push and hold the switch
toward DOWN/OPEN. The sunroof will stop
when the switch is released or when the sunroof
is fully open.
To close the sunroof, push and hold the switch
toward UP/CLOSE. The sunroof will stop when
the switch is released or when the sunroof is fully
closed.
Tilting the sunroof
Close the sunroof by pushing and holding the
switch toward UP/CLOSE. Release the switch,
then push and hold the UP/CLOSE switch to tilt
the sunroof up. The sunroof will stop when the
switch is released or when the sunroof reaches
the maximum tilt position.
To tilt the sunroof down, push and hold the switch
toward DOWN/OPEN. The sunroof will stop
when the switch is release or when the sunroof is
fully closed.
WARNING
cIn an accident you could be thrown from
the vehicle through an open sunroof.
Always use seat belts and child
restraints.

WARNING
cAlways have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat belts,
this provides greater safety in the event
of an accident by helping to prevent
persons from being thrown from the
vehicle. This also helps keep children
and others from unintentionally open-
ing the doors, and will help keep out
intruders.
cBefore opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
cDo not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls. Unattended
children could become involved in seri-
ous accidents.

WARNING
cOn hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or possi-
bly fatal injuries to people or animals.
Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support of
others in your vehicle. Unattended pets
should not be left alone either.
cClosely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously in-
jured. Keep the car locked, with the rear
seatback and trunk lid securely latched
when not in use, and prevent children’s
access to car keys.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
cDo not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is danger-
ous. It can cause unconsciousness or
death.cIf you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all win-
dows fully open, and have the vehicle
inspected immediately.
cDo not run the engine in closed spaces
such as a garage.
cDo not park the vehicle with the engine
running for any extended length of time.
cKeep the trunk lid closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gases could be
drawn into the passenger compart-
ment. If you must drive with the trunk lid
open, follow these precautions:
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the
air recirculation but-
ton (if so equipped) to off and the fan
control dial to 4 (high) to circulate
the air.
cIf electrical wiring or other cable con-
nections must pass to a trailer through
the seal on the trunk lid or the body,
follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dation to prevent carbon monoxide en-
try into the vehicle.
cThe exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:a. The vehicle is raised for service.
b. You suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering into the passenger
compartment.
c. You notice a change in the sound of
the exhaust system.
d. You have had an accident involving
damage to the exhaust system, un-
derbody, or rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST
The three-way catalyst is an emission control
device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust
gases in the three-way catalyst are burned at
high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.
WARNING
cThe exhaust gas and the exhaust sys-
tem are very hot. Keep people, animals
or flammable materials away from the
exhaust system components.
cDo not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite
and cause a fire.
