General Information

&

California Perchlorate Advi-
sory

Certain vehicle components such as air-
bag modules, seatbelt pretensioners and
keyless entry transmitter batteries may
contain perchlorate material. Special
handling may apply for service or vehicle
end of life disposal. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/
hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

&

Noise from under the Vehicle

NOTE

You may hear a noise from under the
vehicle approximately 5 to 10 hours
after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK”/“OFF” position. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction. This
noise is caused by the operation of the
fuel evaporation leakage checking sys-
tem and the operation is normal. The
noise will stop after approximately 15
minutes.

&

Event Data Recorder

This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an air bag

deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data
that will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
.

How various systems in your vehicle

were operating;
.

Whether or not the driver and passen-

ger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
.

How far (if at all) the driver was

depressing the accelerator and/or brake
pedal; and,
.

How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash
location) are recorded. However, other
parties, such as law enforcement, could
combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely ac-
quired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the

vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition
to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties,
such as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the informa-
tion if they have access to the vehicle or
the EDR.

1-1. Front Seats

WARNING

.

Never adjust the seat while driv-

ing, as it may cause loss of
vehicle control and personal in-
jury.

.

Before adjusting the seat, make

sure the hands and feet of rear
seat passengers and cargo are
clear of the adjusting mechan-
ism.

.

After adjusting the seat, move it

back and forth to make sure it is
securely locked. If the seat is not
securely locked, it may move or
the seatbelt may not operate
properly.

.

Do not put objects under the front

seats. They may interfere with
front seat locking and cause an
accident.

.

Seatbelts provide maximum re-

straint when the occupant sits
well back and upright in the seat.
To reduce the risk of sliding
under the seatbelt in a collision,
the front seatbacks should be
always used in the upright posi-
tion while the vehicle is running.

If the front seatbacks are not
used in the upright position in a
collision, the risk of sliding under
the lap belt and of the lap belt
sliding up over the abdomen will
increase, and both can result in
serious internal injury or death.

.

The SRS airbags deploy with

considerable speed and force.
Occupants who are out of proper
position when the SRS airbag
deploys could suffer very serious
injuries. Because the SRS airbag
needs enough space for deploy-
ment, the driver should always sit
upright and well back in the seat
as far from the steering wheel as
practical while still maintaining
full vehicle control and the front
passenger should move the seat
as far back as possible and sit
upright and well back in the seat.

WARNING

Seat children in the rear seat prop-
erly restrained at all times. The SRS
airbag deploys with considerable
speed and force and can injure or
even kill children, especially if they
are not restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults, their
risk of being injured from deploy-
ment is greater. For that reason, we
strongly recommend that ALL chil-
dren (including those in child re-
straint systems) sit in the REAR seat
properly restrained at all times in a
child restraint system or in a seat-
belt, whichever is appropriate for the
child’s age, height and weight. Se-
