DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS
The Safety and Restraint System (SRS) is designed to work with the safety belts to
help protect the driver and passenger from certain upper body injuries in a frontal or
near-frontal collision. It is important that occupants be properly restrained as far
away from the air bag module as possible while maintaining vehicle control.
Move your seat as far as you can to the rear while still reaching
the pedals comfortably, and recline the seatback slightly –
one or two degrees – from the upright position. A difficulty with the SRS
system is indicated by one or more of the following: the
readiness light will either flash or stay lit; the readiness
light will not illuminate immediately after the ignition
is turned to the ON position; or, a series of five
beeps will repeat periodically until the problem is
repaired. If any of these happen, even
intermittently, immediately have the SRS serviced at
your dealership or by a qualified technician. Passenger
Front Air Bag On/Off Switch: This switch allows you to
deactivate the air bag if the passenger is an infant or child, age 12 or under, or if the passenger has a medical
condition that causes the air bag to pose a special risk. For more information on passenger air bag deactivation,
refer to the Seating and Safety Restraints chapter of your Owner's Guide.
Move the lever at your steering wheel down for a single wipe. For intermittent operation, move the lever up one
position and adjust the rotar y control to the desired speed. For normal operation, move the control up two
positions. For high speed operation, move the control up three positions. To mist the windshield, push and quickly
release the windshield washer control located at the end of the multi-function lever. To activate the windshield
washer, push the windshield washer control and release it when you want to stop the washer fluid spray. The
wipers will provide three wipes after the washer fluid is turned off.
