*SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System airbag)
*SRS: This stands for supplemental re-
straint system. This name is used be-
cause the airbag system supplements the
vehicle
’s seatbelts.
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash
sensing and diagnostic module, which will
record the use of the seatbelt(s) by the
driver and front passenger when any of
the SRS frontal and side airbags deploys.
Vehicle with driver ’s and
front passenger ’s SRS air-
bags and lap/shoulder re-
straints
Your vehicle is equipped with a supple-
mental restraint system in addition to a
lap/shoulder belt at each front seating po-
sition.
The supplemental restraint system (SRS)
consists of two airbags (driver ’s and front
passenger ’s frontal airbags) or four air-
bags (driver ’s and front passenger ’s fron-
tal airbags and driver ’s and front passen-
ger ’s side airbags).
These SRS airbags are designed only
as a supplement to the primary protec-
tion provided by the seatbelt.

Always remove the headrest when
mounting a child restraint system
with a top tether. Otherwise, the top
tether cannot be fastened tightly.

Never allow a child to kneel on the
front passenger ’s seat facing the
side window or to wrap his/her arms
around the front seat seatback. In
the event of an accident, the force of
the SRS side airbag deployment
could injure the child seriously be-
cause his/her head or arms or other
parts of the body are too close to the
SRS side airbag. Since your vehicle
is also equipped with a passenger ’s
SRS frontal airbag, children aged 12
and under should be placed in the
rear seat anyway and should be
properly restrained at all times.
100623
Do not attach accessories to the
door trim or near either SRS side air-
bags and do not place objects near
the SRS side airbags. In the event of
the SRS side airbag deployment,
they could be propelled dangerous-
ly toward the vehicle ’s occupants
and cause injuries.

Immobilizer (Turbo models)
The immobilizer system is designed to
prevent an unauthorized person from
starting the engine. Only keys registered
with your vehicle ’s immobilizer system
can be used to operate your vehicle. Even
if an unregistered key fits into the ignition
switch and can be turned to the “START ”
position, the engine will automatically stop
after several seconds.
Each immobilizer key contains a tran-
sponder in which the key ’s ID code is
stored. When a key is inserted into the ig-
nition switch and turned to the “ON ” posi-
tion, the transponder transmits the key ’s
ID code to the immobilizer system ’s re-
ceiver. If the transmitted ID code matches
the ID code registered in the immobilizer
system, the system allows the engine to
be started. Since the ID code is transmit-
ted and acted upon almost instantly, the
immobilizer system does not impede nor-
mal starting of the engine.
If the engine fails to start, pull out the key
once before trying again. (Refer to the “Ig-
nition switch ” section [chapter 3].)
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of In-
dustry Canada. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including in-
terference that may cause undesired
operation.
Changes or modifications not express-
ly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user
’s
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE
To protect your vehicle from theft,
please pay close attention to the fol-
lowing security precautions:
Never leave your vehicle unattended
with its keys inside.
Before leaving your vehicle, close all
windows and lock the doors and rear
gate.
Do not leave spare keys or any
record of your key number in the vehi-
cle.
Security ID plate
1) Key number plate
2) Security ID plate
The security ID is stamped on the metal
plate attached to the key set. Write down
the security ID and keep it in another safe
place, not in the vehicle. This number is
needed to make a replacement key if you
lose your key or lock it inside the vehicle.
This number is also needed for replace-
ment or repair of the engine control unit,
immobilizer control unit.
Security indicator light
The security indicator light deters potential
thieves by indicating that the vehicle is
equipped with an immobilizer system. It
Do not place the key under direct
sunlight or anywhere it may be-
come hot.
Do not get the key wet. If the key
gets wet, wipe it dry with a cloth
immediately.
