Seats


We recommend that you follow these guidelines: •


Sit in an upright position with the base of your spine as far back as possible.


• Do not recline the seatback more than


30 degrees.


• Adjust the head restraint so that the top of it is level with the top of your head and as far forward as possible. Make sure that you remain comfortable. Keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. We recommend a minimum of 10 in (25 cm) between your breastbone and the airbag cover.



• Hold the steering wheel with your arms


slightly bent. Bend your legs slightly so that you can press the pedals fully.



• Position the shoulder strap of the safety belt over the center of your shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.


Make sure that your driving position is comfortable and that you can maintain full control of your vehicle. HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNINGS


Fully adjust the head restraint before you sit in or operate your vehicle. This will help minimize the risk of neck


injury in the event of a crash. Do not adjust the head restraint when your vehicle is moving.


The head restraint is a safety device. Whenever possible it should be installed and properly adjusted when


the seat is occupied.


SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION


WARNINGS


Sitting improperly, out of position or with the seatback reclined too far can take weight off the seat cushion and affect the decision of the passenger sensing system, resulting in serious injury or death in the event of a crash. Always sit upright against your seat back, with your feet on the floor.


Do not recline the seatback as this can cause the occupant to slide under the safety belt, resulting in


serious injury in the event of a crash.


Do not place objects higher than the seatback to reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of a crash or during


heavy braking.


When you use them properly, the seat, head restraint, safety belt and airbags will provide optimum protection in the event of a crash.

E146309E144635 Universal Garage Door Opener (If Equipped)


HomeLink Wireless Control System (If Equipped)


WARNING


Do not use the system with any garage door opener that does not have the safety stop and reverse


feature as required by U.S. Federal Safety Standards (this includes any garage door opener manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death.


Note: Make sure that the garage door and security device are free from obstruction when you are programming. Do not program the system with the vehicle in the garage. Note: Make sure you keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future system programming. Note: We recommend that upon the sale or lease termination of your vehicle, you erase the programmed function buttons for security reasons. See Erasing the function button codes later in this section. Note: You can program a maximum of three devices. To change or replace any of the three devices after it has been initially programmed, you must first erase the current settings. See Erasing the function button codes later in this section.


The universal garage door opener replaces the common hand-held garage door opener with a three-button transmitter that is integrated into the driver’s sun visor. The system includes two primary features, a garage door opener and a platform for remote activation of devices within the home. As well as being programmed for garage doors, the system transmitter can be programmed to operate entry gate operators, security systems, entry door locks and home or office lighting. Additional system information can be found online at www.homelink.com or by calling the toll-free help line on 1-800-355-3515. In-vehicle programming This process is to program your hand-held transmitter and your in-vehicle HomeLink button. Note: Put a new battery in the hand-held transmitter. This will ensure quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.


1. With your vehicle parked outside of the


garage, turn your ignition to the on position, but do not start your vehicle.


2. Hold your hand-held garage door

ABCE143942E75193 Starting and Stopping the Engine


GENERAL INFORMATION


IGNITION SWITCH


WARNINGS


Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce very high temperatures in the engine and


exhaust system, creating the risk of fire or other damage.


0 (off) - The ignition is off. Note: When you switch the ignition off and leave your vehicle, do not leave your key in the ignition. This could cause your vehicle battery to lose charge. I (accessory) - Allows the electrical accessories, such as the radio, to operate while the engine is not running. Note: Do not leave the ignition key in this position for too long. This could cause your vehicle battery to lose charge. II (on) - All electrical circuits are operational and the warning lamps and indicators illuminate. III (start) - cranks the engine. KEYLESS STARTING Note: The keyless starting system may not function if the key is close to metal objects or electronic devices such as cellular phones. Note: A valid key must be located inside your vehicle to switch the ignition on and start the engine.


Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle on dry grass or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up


the engine compartment and exhaust system, creating the risk of fire.


Do not start the engine in a closed garage or in other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open the garage door before you start the engine.


If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust fumes.


If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics for approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers) after you reconnect it. This is because the engine management system must realign itself with the engine. You can disregard any unusual driving characteristics during this period. The powertrain control system meets all Canadian interference-causing equipment standard requirements regulating the impulse electrical field or radio noise. When you start the engine, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal before and during operation. Only use the accelerator pedal when you have difficulty starting the engine.
