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.

Security indicator light (Vehicle
security system)
The security indicator lights1is located on the
instrument panel near the windshield.
The security indicator light shows the status of
the vehicle security system.
The light operates whenever the ignition switch is
in the LOCK, OFF, or ACC position.
The vehicle security system has four phases. For
each phase the operation of the security indicator
light is different.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows.(The system can be
armed even if the windows are open.)2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Close the trunk lid and all doors. Lock all
doors. The doors can be locked with the key
or with the keyfob.
Keyfob operation:
cPush the
button on the keyfob.
All doors lock. The hazard lights flash
twice and the horn beeps once to indicate
all doors are locked.
cWhen the
button is pushed with
all doors locked, the hazard lights flash
twice and the horn beeps once as a re-
minder that the doors are already locked.
The horn may or may not beep once. Refer to
“Silencing the horn beep feature” later in this
section.
4. Confirm that the SECURITY indicator light
comes on. The SECURITY light stays on for
about 30 seconds. The vehicle security sys-
tem is now pre-armed. After about 30 sec-
onds the vehicle security system automati-
cally shifts into the armed phase. The
SECURITY light begins to flash once every 3
seconds. If, during the 30-second pre-arm
time period, the door is unlocked by the key
or the keyfob, or the ignition key is turned to
ACC or ON, the system will not arm.
