SAFETY How The SRS Air Bags Work This vehicle has front air bags and lap/shoulder belts for both the driver and front passenger. The front air bags are a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The SRS Air Bags are designed to provide further protection for passengers in addition to the seat belt functions. Be sure to wear seat belts properly. Seat Belt Pretensioners The seat belt pretensioners are designed to deploy in moderate or severe frontal, near frontal collisions.
deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria" in this chapter. For further details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria" in this chapter. Side Air Bags The side air bags are mounted in the outer sides of the seat backs. When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the system inflates the side air bag only on the side in which the vehicle was hit.
SAFETY With Passenger Occupant Classification System In addition, the passenger side bag is designed to only deploy when the passenger occupant classification sensor detects a passenger sitting on the passenger's seat. Warning! If a child restraint system, child, small teenager or adult in the front passenger seat is seated improperly, the occupant may provide an output signal to the OCS that is different from the occupant’s properly seated weight input.
03030101-121-001 Sun Visor Air Bag Labels Warning! Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the Side Air Bags; the performance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be pushed into you, causing serious injury.
SAFETY SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria This chart indicates the applicable SRS equipment that will deploy depending on the type of collision (the illustrations are the representative cases of collisions). Deployed air bags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and the seat belt retractor assemblies replaced by an authorized dealer immediately. Also, have the Occupant Restraint Controller System serviced as well.
(**) Passenger Occupant Classification System: the passenger front and side air bags and the seat belt pretensioner are designed to deploy when the passenger occupant classification sensor detects a passenger sitting on the passenger's seat. Note: In a frontal offset collision, the equipped air bags and pretensioners may all deploy depending on the direction, angle, and rate of impact.
SAFETY Limitations To SRS Air Bag In severe collisions such as those described in "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria" paragraph, the applicable SRS air bag equipment will deploy. However, in some accidents, the equipment may not deploy depending on the type of collision and its severity.
03040600-124-002 Roll-Over Collision Passenger Occupant Classification Sensor Your vehicle is equipped with a passenger occupant classification sensor as a part of the supplementary restraint system. This sensor is equipped in the passenger's seat cushion. This sensor measures the electrostatic capacity of the passenger's seat.
SAFETY If there is a fault present in the occupant classification sensor, both the Indicator Light and the Air Bag Warning Light will illuminate to show that the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag is deactivated. Should this occur, the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will remain deactivated until the fault is cleared. This indicates that you should take the vehicle to an authorized dealer for service immediately. Warning! Warning! Do not carry or hold any objects (e.g., backpacks, boxes, etc.
The passenger air bag deactivation indicator light may turn on for 10 seconds if the electrostatic capacity on the passenger seat changes. The air bag/seat belt pretensioner system warning light might turn on if the passenger seat receives a severe impact. If the passenger Air Bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on after installing a child restraint system on the passenger seat, first, reinstall your child restraint system according to the procedure in this User Guide.
SAFETY If the passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on when the ignition is cycled ON and does not turn on as indicated in the passenger air bag deactivation indicator light on/off condition chart, do not allow an occupant to sit in the passenger seat and contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible. The system may not work properly in an accident. Warning! Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an air bag.
Maintaining Your Air Bag System Warning! Modifications to any part of the air bag system could cause it to fail when you need it. You could be injured if the air bag system is not there to protect you. Do not modify the components or wiring, including adding any kind of badges or stickers to the steering wheel hub trim cover or the upper right side of the instrument panel. Do not modify the front bumper, vehicle body structure, or add aftermarket side steps or running boards.

STARTING AND OPERATING STARTING THE ENGINE Never press the accelerator pedal for starting the engine. 3. Place the start button in the ACC mode. Starting The Engine Models Equipped With A Manual Transmission 4. Place the start button in the ON mode, push and release it as soon as the engine starts. If the engine does not start within 10 seconds, push the start button to OFF mode and wait for 10-15 seconds before repeating the starting procedure.
BRAKE SYSTEM This vehicle has power-assisted brakes that adjust automatically through normal use. Should power-assist fail, you can stop by applying greater force than normal to the brake pedal. But the distance required to stop will be greater than usual. Note: Always depress the brake pedal with the right foot. Applying the brakes with the unaccustomed left foot could slow your reaction time to an emergency situation resulting in insufficient braking operation.
STARTING AND OPERATING Setting the Parking Brake Depress the brake pedal and then firmly pull the parking brake lever fully upwards with sufficient force to hold the vehicle in a stationary position. Releasing the Parking Brake Depress the brake pedal and pull the parking brake lever upwards, then press the release button. While holding the button, lower the parking brake lever all the way down to the released position.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION Manual Transmission Warning! You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended without having the park brake fully applied. The park brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle, especially on an incline. Caution! Never drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal, or attempt to hold the vehicle on a hill with the clutch pedal partially engaged, as this will cause abnormal wear on the clutch.
STARTING AND OPERATING Make sure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before shifting to REVERSE (R). Shifting to REVERSE (R) while the vehicle is still moving may damage the transmission. Reverse can only be engaged when the vehicle is completely stationary. With the engine running, wait at least two seconds with the clutch pedal fully pressed before engaging reverse to prevent damage to the gears.
Note: Even if you intend to use the automatic transmission functions as a traditional automatic, you should also be aware that you can inadvertently shift into manual shift mode and an inappropriate gear may be retained as the vehicle speed increases. If you notice the engine speed going higher or hear the engine racing, confirm you have not accidentally slipped into manual shift mode (refer to “Manual Shift Mode” paragraph in this section).
STARTING AND OPERATING It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal. Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in or near the vehicle.
Shift Lock Override Warning! Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe practices that limit your response to changing traffic or road conditions. You might lose control of the vehicle and have a collision. Warning! Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or personal injury.
STARTING AND OPERATING For Some Models Proceed as follows: 1. Push the lock release button on the gear selector while also pushing down on the Shift Lock Override button. 2. Move the gear selector. 3. Take the vehicle to your authorized dealer. To change to MANUAL (M) shift mode, shift the gear selector from DRIVE (D) to MANUAL (M). To return to automatic shift mode, shift the gear selector from MANUAL (M) to DRIVE (D).
Do not drive the vehicle with the tachometer needle in the red zone while in manual shift mode. During deceleration, the transmission may automatically shift down depending on vehicle speed. You can start out, from a stop, in first or second gear. Tapping the gear selector rearward (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear. Starting out in second gear can be helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
STARTING AND OPERATING SPORT MODE SPEED CONTROL The Sport mode increases steering feedback to the driver with slight increase in effort and changes the transmission shift schedules for more aggressive shifting. This driving mode is useful while driving on twisty roads where more steering precision is desired in spirited cornering. To activate Sport mode, toggle the Sport Mode button forward and hold for approximately 2 seconds. You will see “Sport” illuminate in the Instrument Panel cluster.
Deactivating Speed Control Push the OFF/CAN button. The warning light (amber) in the instrument cluster turns off. When A Speed Has Been Set: the warning light (green) in the instrument cluster is illuminated, push and hold the OFF/CAN button or push the OFF/CAN button twice to deactivate. When A Speed Has Not Been Set: warning light (amber) in the the instrument cluster is illuminated, push the OFF/CAN button to deactivate. Setting A Desired Speed Proceed as follows: 1.
STARTING AND OPERATING Note: Accelerate the vehicle to speed up temporarily with the accelerator pedal when the Speed Control is on. Increasing the speed will not interfere with, or change the set speed. Take your foot off the accelerator to return to the set speed.
REAR PARK ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED during parallel parking when the gear selector is in REVERSE. Rear Park Assist Parking and other potentially dangerous maneuvers are, however, always the driver’s responsibility. When performing these operations, always make sure that there are no other people (especially children) or animals on the route you want to drive into.
STARTING AND OPERATING PARKVIEW REAR BACKUP CAMERA — IF EQUIPPED Operation The camera is located on the trunk lid, above the license plate. When the display is cold, the images could be more blurred than usual, making it difficult to check the conditions of the area around the vehicle. Always use extreme caution and verify the real conditions of the area behind the vehicle with you own eyes. If water, snow, or mud is deposited on the camera lens, clean it with a soft cloth.
The camera’s cover is made of plastic. Do not apply degreasers, organic solvents, wax or glass polish to the camera’s cover. If some substance ends up on the cover, clean it off immediately with a soft cloth. (50 cm), for the red line and 39 inches (1 m) for the yellow line, from the rear bumper (central point of each line). Do not rub the cover too much, nor polish it with abrasive compounds or hard brushes. The cover could be damaged and create image problems.
STARTING AND OPERATING Note: 3. Once the vehicle starts to enter the parking space, proceed slowly in REVERSE while keeping the vehicle width guide lines away from the two sides of the parking space. Since there may be some differences between the displayed image and the real conditions, always visually inspect the area behind the vehicle, and the surrounding areas, to make sure they are completely clear. 4.
Adjusting The Image Quality 4. Select the icon on the top left of the screen to close the tabs. The image quality can be adjusted with the gear selector in the REVERSE position. Four adjustments can be made: brightness, contrast, tint and color. Give attention to the vehicle’s surroundings while making adjustments: Adjusting the rear-view camera image quality must always be done when the vehicle is stationary. Do not adjust the rear-view camera image quality while vehicle driving.
STARTING AND OPERATING 132 REFUELING THE VEHICLE Refueling The Vehicle Stop the engine before refueling. Fuel Requirements Vehicles with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors must use ONLY UNLEADED FUEL, which will reduce exhaust emissions and keep spark plug fouling to a minimum. Fuel: Premium unleaded fuel. Octane Rating (Anti-knock index): 91 (R + M)/2 method or above (96 RON or above) (U.S. federal law requires that octane ratings be posted on gasoline station pumps).
Caution! DO NOT use E-85, gasoline containing methanol, or gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol (E-15). Use of these blends may result in starting and drivability problems, damage critical fuel system components, cause emissions to exceed the applicable standard, and/or cause the “Malfunction Indicator Light” to illuminate. Please observe pump labels as they should clearly communicate if a fuel contains greater than 15% ethanol (E-15).
STARTING AND OPERATING An out-of-tune engine or certain fuel or ignition malfunctions can cause the catalytic converter to overheat. If you notice a pungent burning odor or some light smoke, your engine may be out of tune or malfunctioning and may require immediate service. Contact an authorized dealer for service assistance. The use of fuel additives, which are now being sold as octane enhancers, is not recommended. Most of these products contain high concentrations of methanol.
Fuel Filler Cap To remove the fuel filler cap, turn it counterclockwise. Attach the removed cap to the inner side of the fuel filler door. A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be burned. Always place gas containers on the ground while filling. Do not apply any object/plug to the end of the filler which is not provided for the vehicle.
STARTING AND OPERATING TOWING TRAILERS Trailer Towing Your car is not designed for towing. Recreational Towing An example of "recreational towing" is towing your vehicle behind a motorhome. The transmission is not designed for towing this vehicle on all four wheels. Caution! DO NOT flat tow this vehicle. Damage to the drivetrain will result.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE Engine Oil Warning! Be very careful when working in the engine compartment when the engine is hot: you may get burned. Engine Coolant Warning! Do not get too close to the radiator cooling fan: the electric fan may start; danger of injury. Loose clothing might be pulled by moving parts. Recommended Oil Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications” for further information. Inspecting engine oil level Proceed as follows: 1.
Inspecting Coolant Level Note: Changing the coolant should be done by an authorized dealer. Inspect the antifreeze protection and coolant level in the coolant reservoir at least once a year, at the beginning of the winter season, and before traveling where temperatures may drop below freezing. Inspect the condition and connections of all cooling system and heater hoses. Replace any that are worn or deteriorated.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE Warning! Use only manufacturer's recommended brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications” for further information. Using the wrong type of brake fluid can severely damage your brake system and/or impair its performance. The proper type of brake fluid for your vehicle is also identified on the original factory installed hydraulic master cylinder reservoir.
Battery gas is flammable and explosive. Keep flame or sparks away from the battery. Do not use a booster battery or any other booster source with an output greater than 12 Volts. Do not allow cable clamps to touch each other. Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling. BATTERY RECHARGING BATTERY CHARGING PROCEDURE Warning! Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE RAISING THE VEHICLE WHEELS AND TIRES If the vehicle needs to be raised, see an authorized dealer which is equipped with arm hoists or workshop lifts. The vehicle’s lifting points are marked symbols. on the side skirts with the Tire safety information will cover aspects of the following information: Tire Markings, Tire Identification Numbers, Tire Terminology and Definitions, Tire Pressures, and Tire Loading.
Tire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Example Size Designation: P215/65R15XL 95H, 215/65R15 96H, LT235/85R16C, T145/80D18 103M, 31x10.5 R15 LT P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standards, or "....blank...." = Passenger car tire based on European design standards, or LT = Light truck tire based on U.S.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE EXAMPLE: Load Identification: Absence of the following load identification symbols on the sidewall of the tire indicates a Standard Load (SL) tire: XL = Extra load (or reinforced) tire, or LL = Light load tire or C, D, E, F, G = Load range associated with the maximum load a tire can carry at a specified pressure Maximum Load – Maximum load indicates the maximum load this tire is designed to carry Maximum Pressure – Maximum pressure indicates the maximum permissible cold tire infl
EXAMPLE: 01 = Number representing the year in which the tire was manufactured (two digits) 01 means the year 2001 Prior to July 2000, tire manufacturers were only required to have one number to represent the year in which the tire was manufactured. Example: 031 could represent the 3rd week of 1981 or 1991 Tire Terminology And Definitions Term B-Pillar Definition The vehicle B-Pillar is the structural member of the body located behind the front door.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE Tire Loading And Tire Pressure 2. Total weight your vehicle can carry. Note: The proper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on the driver’s side B-Pillar or the rear edge of the driver's side door. 3. Tire size designed for your vehicle. Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire (if equipped), at least monthly and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. Loading 4. Cold tire inflation pressures for the front, rear, and spare tires.
Steps For Determining Correct Load Limit— (1) Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle's placard. (2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. (3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs. (4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE GUID-054900419-high.tif Warning! 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. Never overload them.
Tires — General Information Tire Pressure Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Four primary areas are affected by improper tire pressure: Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. Always drive with each tire inflated to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE maximum inflation pressure molded into the tire sidewall. Check tire pressures more often if subject to a wide range of outdoor temperatures, as tire pressures vary with temperature changes. Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12°F (7°C) of air temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the Winter.
Tire Spinning Distance driven. When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice conditions, do not spin your vehicle's wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds continuously without stopping. 0101119808US Tire Tread Warning! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE Refer to the Tire and Loading Information placard or the Vehicle Certification Label for the size designation of your tire. The Load Index and Speed Symbol for your tire will be found on the original equipment tire sidewall. See the Tire Sizing Chart example found in the “Tire Safety Information” section of this manual for more information relating to the Load Index and Speed Symbol of a tire. It is recommended to replace the two front tires or two rear tires as a pair.
Warning! Do not use Summer tires in snow/ice conditions. You could lose vehicle control, resulting in severe injury or death. Driving too fast for conditions also creates the possibility of loss of vehicle control. Snow Tires Some areas of the country require the use of snow tires during the Winter. Snow tires can be identified by a “mountain/snowflake” symbol on the tire sidewall. If you need snow tires, select tires equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tires.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 202 Warning! Compact and collapsible spares are for temporary emergency use only. With these spares, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). Temporary use spares have limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced. Be sure to follow the warnings, which apply to your spare. Failure to do so could result in spare tire failure and loss of vehicle control.
Wheel And Wheel Trim Care All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned regularly using mild (neutral Ph) soap and water to maintain their luster and to prevent corrosion. Wash wheels with the same soap solution recommended for the body of the vehicle and remember to always wash when the surfaces are not hot to the touch. Your wheels are susceptible to deterioration caused by salt, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, etc.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE Dark Vapor Chrome, Black Satin Chrome, or Low Gloss Clear Coat Wheels Caution! If your vehicle is equipped with these specialty wheels, DO NOT USE wheel cleaners, abrasives, or polishing compounds. They will permanently damage this finish and such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. HAND WASH ONLY USING MILD SOAP AND WATER WITH A SOFT CLOTH. Used on a regular basis; this is all that is required to maintain this finish.
Tire Rotation Recommendations Because your vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire, you cannot do a tire rotation safely with the jack that may come with your vehicle if so equipped. Contact an authorized dealer for tire rotation. The front and rear tires are subject to different loads and stress due to steering, maneuver and braking. For this reason they are subject to uneven wear. To resolve this problem, tires should be rotated at the appropriate time.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 206 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADES the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices, and differences in road characteristics and climate. The following tire grading categories were established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The specific grade rating assigned by the tire's manufacturer in each category is shown on the sidewall of the tires on your vehicle.
BODYWORK Warning! The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure. Preserving The Paintwork Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to prevent the formation of rust.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 208 Prevention: It is necessary to wash and wax your vehicle to preserve its finish according to the instructions in this section. These steps should be taken immediately after you suspect that acid rain has settled on your vehicle's finish. Damage caused by bird dropping/insects/tree sap Problem: Bird droppings contain acids. If these are not removed they can eat away the clear and color base coat of the vehicle's paintwork.
Maintaining The Finish Washing To help protect the finish from rust and deterioration, wash your vehicle thoroughly and frequently, at least once a month, with lukewarm or cold water. If the vehicle is washed improperly, the paint surface could be scratched. Here are some examples of how scratching could occur: The vehicle is washed without first rinsing off dirt and other foreign matter. The vehicle is washed with a rough, dry, or dirty cloth.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE Pay special attention to removing salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign material from the underside of the fenders, and make sure the drain holes in the lower edges of the doors and rocker panels are clean. Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings, industrial fallout, and similar deposits can damage the finish if not removed immediately. When prompt washing with plain water is ineffective, use a mild soap made for use on vehicles.
Interior Panels When the interior panels need to be cleaned, use soft material such as a soft cloth soaked in clean water and wrung out well and lightly wipe off dirt from the surface. If a panel requires further cleaning, wipe dirt off using a soft cloth soaked in mild detergent (about 5% solution) and wipe off any remaining detergent using a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung out well. Lap / Shoulder Belt Warning! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
