NOTE 1. In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to receive the registered ID code from the key. This means the engine will not start even when the regis- tered key is turned to the 9START9 position: • When the key comes into contact with a metallic or
magnetic object.
• When the key comes into contact with another immobilizing key, or with some other transponder.
In case like these, the theft-alarm indicator (located in the instrument cluster) will blink after 10 seconds. The theft-alarm indicator will flash for approximately 30

40 LOCKING AND UNLOCKING
WARNING!
† Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap) slowly to prevent fuel spray from the filler neck which may cause injury. † The volatility of some gasolines may cause a build up of pressure in the fuel tank that may increase while you drive. This pressure can result in a spray of gasoline and/or vapors when you remove the cap from a hot vehicle. Removing the cap slowly allows the pressure to vent and prevents fuel spray. † Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank filled. † Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regulations and will cause the malfunction indi- cator light to turn on.
The fuel filler is located on the right rear of the body. Hook a finger behind the fuel filler door, and pull the door toward you.

NOTE: If the fuel tank filler tube cap is not tight while driving, the “Malfunction indicator light (SERVICE EN- GINE SOON)” may illuminate when the onboard diag- nostic (OBD) system performs its self check. Always tighten the fuel tank filler tube cap until you hear clicking sounds. The indicator light will go off after driving several times. If the indicator light does not go off, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
† As the fuel system may be under pressure, remove the fuel tank filler tube cap slowly. Removing the cap slowly relieves any pressure or vacuum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If the cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before completely removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out and injure you or others. † If you need to replace the fuel tank filler tube cap, use only a cap specified for your model vehicle. † To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top-off”
the fuel tank again and again after filling.

Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or death in various types of crashes. For added protection during a severe frontal collision, your vehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with air bags for the driver and front seat passenger. The seats, head restraints, and door locks also are safety equipment, which must be used correctly. Always check the following before you drive: 7. Everyone in the vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt. 8. Infants and small children are properly secured in appropriate child restraints in the rear seat. 9. All doors are closed and locked. 10. Seat backs are fully upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.

† To reduce the risk of severe or fatal injury from a deploying passenger air bag, make sure the pas- senger is also properly wearing their seat belt, remains sitting well back and upright in their seat and the seat is moved as far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - air bag” on page 89. † Never hold an infant or child in your arms or on your lap when riding in a vehicle even if you are wearing your seat belt. Also never place any part of the seat belt you are wearing around an infant or child. To do so risks severe or fatal injury to your child in a collision or sudden stop. † All children 12 years old and under should always ride in the rear seat, properly restrained, in order to reduce risk of serious or fatal injury in a collision, including from the deployment of a front passenger air bag. Refer to “Child restraints” on page 76.

WARNING!
† Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate child restraint system. To reduce the risk of severe or fatal injury in a collision, including from the deployment of a front passenger air bag, children should be seated only in the rear seat. Infants must be in a rear-facing child safety seat and be seated only in the rear seat.
UNIBELT restraint system All seats are equipped with a UNIBELT system which uses a single combined lap-and-shoulder belt with an emergency locking retractor. This system is designed to provide comfort and safety by permitting full extension and automatic retraction of the belts during normal vehicle operation. A sensing device inside the belt retractor is designed to lock the retractor in the event of an abrupt change in vehicle motion. NOTE: For instruction on how to install a child restraint system, see “Installing a child restraint system with a UNIBELT” on page 82.

1. Get in the vehicle and sit in a normal correct posture. To reduce the risk of severe or fatal injury caused by an inflating air bag, adjust the driver’s seat to the rear most position that still allows you to fully apply the pedals, easily control the steering wheel and safely operate the vehicle. The front passenger should also adjust their seat as far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - air bag” on page 89.
All vehicle occupant’s should sit and remain seated all the way back in their seat with their back resting straight against the upright seat back.
WARNING!
To minimize the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision or sudden stop, both the driver and passenger seatbacks should always be in a nearly upright position while the vehicle is in motion. The protection provided by the seat belts may be reduced significantly when the seatback is reclined. There is greater risk that the driver or the passenger will slide under the belt and be seriously injured when the seatback is reclined.

2. Grasp the metal tongue and slide it up the webbing so that it becomes easy to pull across your body. After a couple of tries this will become an automatic one-handed motion.
3. Pull the seat belt out slowly while holding the metal tongue. This system will not lock up if you stop or hesitate, so relax and continue to “buckle-up”. Push the metal tongue into the buckle until a “click” is heard. Pull up on the belt to confirm the metal tongue is locked securely in the buckle. NOTE: If the seat belt is pulled to its full extension, it can enter the ALR mode and lock in position. If this occurs, allow the belt to fully retract and then repeat step 3.

4. Pull up on the shoulder portion of the belt to ensure that there is no slack in the lap belt. The belt will retain the small amount of slack necessary for comfort when you return to your normal seating position. If the belt is still too tight, pull out 6 to 8 inches of webbing, release the belt, and let it return to your chest.
NOTE: If a person wearing the seat belt moves their upper body or the belt completely unwinds, the retractor may switch to its Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) child restraint installation mode and lock (see page 82), thus preventing further movement. If this happens, the person should switch the retractor back to its Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode by unlatching the buckle and letting the belt fully retract. The person should then put the seat belt back on repeating steps 1 through 4.
WARNING!
† Be sure the lap belt portion fits snugly and as low as possible across the hips, not around the waist. Failure to do so may increase the chance or sever- ity of injury in the event of a collision. † Wear the seat belt without twisting it.

5. The shoulder belt portion will allow regular move- ment under normal conditions. The belt will lock in the event of an abrupt change in vehicle motion. 6. To release the belt, push the button on the buckle. The belt retracts automatically, so hold the tongue when the belt is released and while it retracts. Should the belt not fully return to its stowed position, pull the shoulder belt down slightly and release quickly.

WARNING!
To reduce risk of serious injury in a collision, adjust the anchor at a position so that the belt passes over your shoulder, but does not touch your neck. Always adjust the anchor when vehicle is not in motion. Make sure the anchor is securely latched after ad- justment.
Enhanced Driver Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert™) If the driver’s seat belt has not been buckled within 60
seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert™) will alert the driver to buckle their seat belt. The driver should also instruct all other occu- pants to buckle their seat belts. Once the warning is triggered, the Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert™) will continue to chime and flash the Seat Belt Warning Light for 96 seconds or until the driver’s seat belt is buckled.The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert™) will be reactivated if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled for more than 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5
mph (8 km/h). The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert™) can be en- abled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by following these steps: NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first 60
seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON or START position. The manufacturer does not recom- mend deactivating the Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert™). • Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, and buckle the driver’s seat belt. • Turn the ignition key to the ACCESSORY/RUN position (engine does not need to be running), and wait for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn off. • Within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver’s seat belt at least three times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt buckled.• Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. A single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully completed the programming. The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert™) can be reac- tivated by repeating this procedure. NOTE: Although the Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert™) has been deactivated, the Seat Belt Warning Light will continue to illuminate while the driver’s seat belt remains unfastened.

WARNING!
† The extender should only be used if the existing
belt is not long enough. Persons who can use the standard seat belt should not use an extender. Unnecessary use could result in serious personal injury in the event of a colli- sion. † When not required, the extender must be removed and stowed because the use of the extender when not required may deactivate the seat belt locking mechanism.
CHILD RESTRAINTS When transporting infants or small children in your vehicle, an appropriate child restraint system should always be used. This is required by law in most states. Child restraints specifically designed for infants and small children are offered by several manufacturers. Only choose a child restraint system with a label certifying it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
The child restraint system should be appropriate for your child’s weight and height and properly fit the vehicle’s seat.
All children should be restrained in a restraint device that offers the maximum protection for their size and age. • Children less than 1 year and less than 20 pounds must ride in a rear-facing child safety seat only in the rear seat.
• Children older than 1 year who weigh less than 40
pounds or are less than 40 inches tall should be in a forward-facing restraint in the rear seat.• Children who weigh more than 40 pounds or are more than 40 inches tall - regardless of age - should use a booster seat in the rear seat until the lap/shoulder belt fits properly.
WARNING!
† All children 12 years old and under should be seated in the rear seat, and properly restrained. Accident statistics indicate that children of all sizes and ages are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat rather than in the front seat. † Any child who is too large to use a child restraint should ride in the rear seat and wear the lap and shoulder belt properly. The shoulder belt should be over the shoulder and across the chest, not across the neck, and the lap belt should be low on the child’s hips, not across the stomach. If neces- sary, a booster seat should be used for proper seat belt fit; follow the booster seat manufacturer’s instructions. Only use a booster seat that certifies it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

WARNING!
Never hold an infant or child in your arms or on your lap when riding in a vehicle, even if you are wearing your seat belt. Also never place any part of your seat belt around an infant or child. To do so risks severe or fatal injury to the child in a collision or sudden stop.

Air bag cover
WARNING!
Your vehicle is also equipped with a front passenger air bag. REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINTS or INFANT RESTRAINTS must NOT be used in the front passenger seat as it places an infant too close to the passenger air bag. The force of an inflating air bag could kill or cause serious injuries to the child. Rear-facing child restraints or infant restraints must only be used in the rear seat.
WARNING!
FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINTS should al- ways be used in the rear seat whenever possible; if one must be used in the front passenger seat, adjust the seat as far back as possible and ensure that the child stays in the child seat properly restrained. Failure to do so could result in serious or fatal injury to the child.
WARNING!
† It is important to use an approved rear facing infant restraint until the infant is one year old to allow the infant’s neck and spine to develop enough to support the weight of their head in the event of a collision. † When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and follow the directions in this manual.
