The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags are designed to provide further
protection for the driver, front passen-
ger and second seat outside passen-
gers in addition to the primary safety
protection provided by the seat belts.
In response to a severe side impact, the
SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags work with the seat belts to help
reduce injury by inflating. The SRS side
airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the
driver ’s or front passenger ’s chest and the
SRS curtain shield airbags help reduce
injuries mainly to the driver’s, front pas-
senger ’s or second seat outside passen-
ger ’s head.

Make sure you turn the defoggers off
when the surfaces are clear. Leaving the
defoggers on for a long time could cause
the battery to discharge, especially during
stop−and− go driving. The defoggers are
not designed for drying rain water or for
melting snow.
CAUTION
On some models, since the mirror
surfaces can get hot, do not touch
them when the defogger switch is on.
NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the back
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the heater wires or connec-
tors.
If the back window is not fully closed, the
back window defogger will not work. Make
sure the back window is fully closed when
using the back window defogger. If the back window is opened while the
defogger is working, the defogger will au-
tomatically turn off. Even if the back win-
dow is fully closed after that, the defogger
will not automatically turn on.
