Front Air Dam

Your vehicle is equipped with a front air dam which has
minimal ground clearance for aerodynamics. For this
reason, the air dam has a spring

-

loaded hinge provided

and it will retract with road contact.

In normal operation, the air dam will occasionally
contact some road surfaces (speed bumps, driveway
ramps, etc.). This can be heard inside the vehicle as a
scraping noise. This is normal and does not indicate
a problem.

Use care when approaching bumps or objects on road
surfaces and avoid them when possible.

Ignition Positions

CAUTION:

Leaving children in a vehicle with the ignition
key is dangerous for many reasons. A child or
others could be injured or even killed. They could
operate power windows or other controls or even
make the vehicle move. Don’t leave the keys in
the vehicle with children.

With the key in the ignition
switch, you can turn the
switch to four positions.

OFF: The only position from which you can remove the
key. Removing the key locks your steering wheel,
ignition and automatic transmission.

If you have an automatic transmission, the ignition
switch can’t be turned to OFF unless the shift lever is
in PARK (P).
