ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times. Lap/Shoulder Belts All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with combination lap/shoulder belts. The belt webbing retractor is designed to lock during very sudden stops or impacts.
W ARNING! (Continued) • W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse. Y ou might suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out of part of the belt. Follow these instructions to wear your seat belt safely and to keep your pas- sengers safe, too.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries.
W ARNING! (Continued) • A belt that is worn under your arm is very danger - ous. Y our body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle in a collision, increasing head and neck injury . A belt worn under the arm can cause internal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder bones.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as possible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat, the shoul- der belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to posi- tion the belt away from your neck. Push and fully depress the button above the webbing to r elease the anchorage, then move it up or down to the position that fits you best.
In the rear seat, move towar d the center of the seat to position the belt away from your neck. Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure Use the following procedur e to untwist a twisted lap/ shoulder belt. 1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point.
3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This indicates the safety belt is now in the Automatic Locking Mode.
How the Active Head Restraints (AHR) W ork The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) determines whether the severity or type of rear impact r equire the Active Head Restraints (AHR) to deploy . In case of AHR deployment both driver and front passenger seat AHR’s will be deployed.
CAUTION! All occupants, including the driver , should not oper- ate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the head restraints are placed in their proper positions in order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of an accident.
3. Pull down then rearward towards the r ear of the vehicle then down to engage the locking mechanism. 1 — Downward Movement 2 — Rearward Movement 3 — Final Downward Movement T o Engage Locking .
4. The AHR fr ont soft foam and trim half should lock into the back decorative plastic half. NOTE: • If you have difficulties or pr oblems resetting the head restraints, see an authorized dealer . • For safety reasons, have the Active Head Restraints checked by a qualified specialist at an authorized dealer .
BeltAlert 威 Programming The BeltAlert 威 can be enabled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by performing the following steps: NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first 60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON or ST AR T position.
Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug acr oss the hips as possible. Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take the force if ther e is a collision.
NOTE: These airbags are certified to the new Federal regulations for Advanced Airbags. The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation based on the severity and type of collision.
Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Front Airbag • Front Passenger Airbag • Supplemen.
W ARNING! • No objects should be placed over or near the airbag on the instrument panel, because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate. • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to open them manually .
When the bag deploys, it opens the seam between the front and side of the seat’s trim cover . Each bag deploys independently , that is a left side impact deploys the left bag only and a right-side impact deploys only the right bag.
The system includes sensors adjacent to both front and rear seat occupants that ar e calibrated to deploy the SABIC airbags during impacts that requir e airbag occu- pant protection.
W ARNING! Infants in rear-facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front airbag. An airbag deployment can cause severe injury or death to infants in that position.
W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions, the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.
The Advanced Front Airbags will not deploy in all fr ontal collisions, including some that may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck underrides, and angle of fset collisions.
It also includes diagnostics that will illuminate the instru- ment cluster Airbag W arning Light if a malfunction is noted. The diagnostics also recor d the nature of the malfunction. W ARNING! Ignoring the Airbag W arning Light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision.
The ORC determines if a side collision requir es the side airbags to inflate based on the severity and type of collision. The ORC monitors the readiness of the electr onic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST AR T or ON positions.
Because airbag sensors estimate deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage are not good indicators of whether or not an airbag should have deployed. NOTE: In a rollover the pr etensioners and/or SABIC airbags may deploy on both sides of the vehicle.
If you do have a collision which deploys the airbags, any or all of the following may occur: • The nylon airbag material may sometimes cause abra- sions and/or skin reddening to the driver and fr ont passenger as the airbags deploy and unfold.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the airbag system is not there to protect you.
Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. While the airbag system is designed to be mainte- nance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately .
2. Under certain circumstances, EDR data may not be recor ded (e.g., loss of battery power). In conjunction with other data gathered during a com- plete accident investigation, the electronic data may.
3. Requested by police under a legal warrant. 4. Otherwise required by law . Data parameters that are r ecorded: • Diagnostic trouble code(s) and warning light status for electronically-contr olled .
There ar e differ ent sizes and types of restraints for children fr om newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child seat Owner’s Manual to ensure you have the corr ect seat for your child. Use the restraint that is corr ect for your child.
than one year . These child seats are also held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the LA TCH child restraint anchorage system. Refer to “LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren)”.
3. Lift the seat cushion up and push back to lock it in the booster seat position. 4. Place the child upright in the seat with their back firmly against the seatback. 5. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the seat belt. 6. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the seat belt to go around the child’s lap.
NOTE: The lap portion of the seat belt should be low on the hips and as snug as possible. 7. Once the seat belt is long enough to fit properly , insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” 8. T o remove the slack fr om the lap belt, pull upward on the shoulder portion of the seat belt.
• Check belt fit periodically . A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind their back.
Here are some tips on getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any r estraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. W e also recommend that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it befor e you buy it.
connection to the top tether anchors have been available for some time. For some older child restraints, many child restraint manufactur ers offer add-on tether strap kits or retr ofit kits. Y ou are urged to take advantage of all the available attachments provided with your child r e- straint in any vehicle.
Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge you to follow the manufacturer’s dir ections carefully when installing your child r estraint. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as described her e. Again, carefully follow the installation instr uctions that are pr ovided with the child restraint system.
hook for attachment to the tether strap anchor and a means of adjusting the tension of the strap. Y ou will first loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap so that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchors.
W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
T o attach a child restraint tether strap: • Route the tether strap to provide the most dir ect path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat, preferably between the head r estraint posts underneath the head restraint. • If necessary , move the seat forward to provide better access to the tether anchor .
NOTE: Ensure that the tether strap does not slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap. W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the br eak-in and not inter- preted as an indication of dif ficulty . SAFETY TIPS T ransporting Passengers NEVER TRANSPOR T P ASSENGERS IN THE CARGO AREA.
Exhaust Gas W ARNING! • Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside the V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the seat belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be r eplaced after a collision.
Door Latches Check for positive closing, latching, and locking. Fluid Leaks Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel, power steering fluid, or brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should be located and corrected immediately .

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if present, instr uct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
Normal Starting (Tip Start) NOTE: Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or pressing the accelerator pedal. Do not press the accelerator . Use the Fob with Integrated Key to briefly turn the ignition switch to the ST AR T position and release it as soon as the starter engages.
If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold W eather” proce- dures, it may be flooded. T o clear any excess fuel, push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it. Then, turn the ignition switch to the ST AR T position and release it as soon as the starter engages.
AUTOMA TIC TRANSAXLE CAUTION! Damage to the transaxle may occur if the following precautions are not observed: • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, you should always shift the vehicle into P ARK, remove the key fob from the ignition switch, and apply the parking brake.
2. Insert the key fob into the ignition switch and rotate it to the ON position. 3. Remove the cubby bin liner located in the center console behind the shift lever . 4. Insert a screwdriver or similar small tool into the hole at the front of the cubby bin and push the manual override release lever forwar d.
Gear Ranges P ARK This range supplements the parking brake by locking the transaxle. The engine can be started in this range. Never attempt to use P ARK while vehicle is in motion.
REVERSE This range is for moving the vehicle backward. Shift into REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. NEUTRAL This range is used when vehicle is standing for pro- longed periods with engine running. Engine may be started in this range.

and to the right (+) an upshift. The gear position will display in the instrument cluster on the transaxle range indicator . NOTE: In AutoStick 威 mode, the transaxle will only shift up or down when the driver moves the shift lever to the right (+) or left (-).
• Mostly the transaxle will stay in the manually selected ratio, however: − If the system detects powertrain overheating, the transaxle will revert to the automatic shift mode and remain in that mode until the powertrain cools of f.
W ARNING! Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous. Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the front wheels. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and possibly have an accident. Accelerate slowly and carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice, snow , wet, mud, loose sand, etc.
Flowing/Rising W ater W ARNING! Do not drive on, or cross, a road or a path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off). Flowing water can wear away the road or path’s surface and cause your vehicle to sink into deeper water . Furthermore, flowing and/or rising water can carry your vehicle away swiftly .
CAUTION! • Driving through standing water may cause dam- age to your vehicle’ s drivetrain components. Al- ways inspect your vehicle’ s fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission, axle, etc.) for signs of contamination (i.e., fluid that is milky or foamy in appearance) after driving through standing water .
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and incr eased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for some reason the power assist is interr upted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.
Power Steering Fluid Check Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined service interval is not requir ed. The fluid should only be checked if a leak is suspected, abnormal noises are apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as antici- pated.
The foot operated parking brake is located below the lower left corner of the instrument panel. T o apply the park brake, firmly push the park brake pedal fully . T o release the parking brake, pr ess the park brake pedal a second time and let your foot up as you feel the brake disengage.
to move the shift lever out of P ARK. The parking brake should always be applied whenever the driver is not in the vehicle. W ARNING! • Never use the P ARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
BRAKE SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake systems. If either of the two hydraulic systems loses normal capability , the remaining system will still function.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The system controls hydraulic brake pressur e to prevent wheel lock-up to help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic brake control system commonly r eferred to as ESP . This system includes Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Brake Assist System (BAS), T raction Control System (TCS), Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), and Electr onic Stability Program (ESP).
These are all normal characteristics of ABS. W ARNING! • The ABS contains sophisticated electronic equip- ment that may be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment. This interference can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capa- bility .
All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same size and type and tires must be pr operly inflated to produce accurate signals for the computer . Anti-Lock Brake Light The Anti-Lock Brake Light monitors the ABS. The light will turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
W ARNING! BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. BAS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
driving maneuvers. It cannot prevent wheel lift due to other factors, such as road conditions, leaving the r oad- way , or striking objects or other vehicles. W ARNING! Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi- tions, and driving conditions, influence the chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur .
ESP/TCS Indicator Light The ESP/TCS Indicator Light located in the instrument cluster , starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes active.
should only be turned to “Partial Off” for specific r easons as noted. Refer to “Partial Off” for additional informa- tion. Partial Of f The ESP OFF button is located in the switch bank above the climate Control. T o enter the “Partial Off” mode, momentarily press the ESP OFF button and the ESP/TCS Indicator Light will illuminate.
ESP/BAS W arning Light and ESP/TCS Indicator Light The malfunction indicator for the ESP is com- bined with the BAS indicator . The ESP/BAS Malfunction Indicator Light and the ESP/TCS Indicator Light in the instrument cluster both turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
NOTE: The TSC is disabled when the ESP system is in the “Partial Off” mode. W ARNING! • TSC cannot stop all trailers from swaying. Always use caution when towing a trailer and follow the tongue weight recommendations. Refer to ”V e- hicle Loading” and “T railer T owing” in “Starting and Operating” for further information.
NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.

W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the ve- hicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always “cold tire inflation pr essure.
loading may be requir ed for high-speed vehicle opera- tion. Refer to original equipment or an authorized tire dealer for recommended safe operating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pr essures. W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous.
W ARNING! T emporary use spare tires are for emergency use only . W ith these tires, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). T emporary-use spare tires have limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced.
Refer to “Freeing A Stuck V ehicle” in “What T o Do In Emergencies” for further information. W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure some- one.
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
TIRE CHAINS Due to limited clearance, tire chains ar e not recom- mended. CAUTION! Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are used. SNOW TIRES Some areas of the country r equire the use of snow tir es during the winter .
Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper mainte- nance intervals. More fr equent rotation is permissible if desired. The r easons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to r otation being performed. The suggested rotation method is shown in the following diagram.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pr essure if the tire pr essure falls below the low-pr essure warning limit for any reason, including low temperatur e effects and natural pressur e loss through the tir e.

T railer and T ongue Weight Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer . This places 10% to 15% of the Gross T railer W eight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your vehicle.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional factory-installed options or authorized dealer-installed options must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and that it will not shift during travel. When trailering cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be difficult for the driver to control. Y ou could lose control of your vehicle and have an accident.
T owing Requirements – T ires − Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tir e. − Proper tir e inflation pressur es are essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Refer to “T ires – General Information” in “Starting and Oper- ating” for proper tir e inflation procedur es.
CAUTION! If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg) loaded, it should have its own brakes, and they should be of adequate capacity . Failure to do this could lead to accelerated brake lining wear , higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer connector . Refer to the following illustrations.

Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system. Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust system, .
Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not requir e maintenance. However , it is im- portant to keep the engine properly tuned to assur e proper catalyst operation and pr event possible catalyst damage. CAUTION! Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition.
T o minimize the possibility of catalyst damage: • Do not shut OFF the engine or interrupt the ignition when the transaxle is in gear and the vehicle is in motion. • Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. • Do not idle the engine with any ignition coil connec- tors disconnected for prolonged periods.
Check the coolant recovery bottle tubing for brittle r ub- ber , cracking, tears, cuts, and tightness of the connection at the bottle and radiator . Inspect the entire system for leaks. Cooling System – Drain, Flush and Refill Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” for further information.
CAUTION! (Continued) • This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based engine coolant (anti- freeze). Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) is not recommended. Adding Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant (antifreeze) that allows extended maintenance intervals.
Please note that it is the owner’s responsibility to main- tain the proper level of pr otection against freezing ac- cording to the temperatur es occurring in the area wher e the vehicle is operated.
Disposal of Used Coolant Used ethylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) is a regulated substance r equiring proper disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for your community .
humidity accumulating on the radiator and being vapor- ized when the thermostat opens, allowing hot engine coolant (antifreeze) to enter the radiator . If an examination of your engine compartment shows no evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely driven.
Brake System In order to assur e brake system performance, all brake system components should be inspected periodically . Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” for further information. W ARNING! Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and possibly an accident.
W ARNING! • Use only manufacturer’s recommended brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Y our V ehicle” for further information. Using the wrong type of brake fluid can severely damage your brake system and/or impair its performance.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not allow petroleum based fluid to contami- nate the brake fluid. Brake seal components could be damaged, causing partial or complete brake failure. This could result in an accident. Automatic T ransaxle The automatic transaxle and differ ential assembly are contained within a single housing.
7. W ipe the dipstick clean and reinsert until seated. Then, remove dipstick and note the r eading. a. If the fluid is hot, the r eading should be in the crosshatched ar ea marked “HOT” (between the upper two holes in the dipstick). b. If the fluid is cold, the fluid level should be between the lower two holes in the area marked “COLD.
Fluid Level Check – 3.5L Engine The automatic transaxle has no dipstick and is dealer serviced only . Fluid and Filter Changes Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” for further information. In addition, change the fluid and filter if the transaxle is disassembled for any reason.
Appearance Care and Protection from Corrosion Protection of Body and Paint from Corrosion V ehicle body care requir ements vary according to geo- graphic locations and usage.
• Use a high quality cleaner wax, such as MOP AR 威 Cleaner W ax to remove road film, stains and to pr otect your paint finish. T ake care never to scratch the paint. • A void using abrasive compounds and power buffing that may diminish the gloss or thin out the paint finish.
• Use MOP AR 威 T ouch Up Paint or equivalent on scratches as soon as possible. Y our authorized dealer has touch up paint to match the color of your vehicle. Wheel and Wheel T rim Care All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome-plated wheels should be cleaned r egularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corr osion.
Interior Care Instrument Panel Cover The instrument panel cover has a low glar e surface, which minimizes reflections in the windshield. Do not use protectants or other pr oducts, which may cause undesirable reflections. Use soap and warm water to restor e the low glare surface.
Cleaning Headlights Y our vehicle has plastic headlights that are lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage than glass headlights. Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and ther efore differ ent lens cleaning procedur es must be followed.
Seat Belt Maintenance Do not bleach, dye, or clean the belts with chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric. Sun damage can also weaken the fabric. If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water . Do not remove the belts fr om the car to wash them.
CAUTION! • When installing the power module cover , it is important to ensure the cover is properly posi- tioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow water to get into the TIPM, and possibly result in an electrical system failure. • When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the correct amperage rating.
