To remove the head restraints, proceed
as follows:
1. Recline the seat back to allow
clearance of the head restraint from the
vehicle’s roof.
2. Raise the head restraints to their
maximum height.
3. Push the adjustment button and the
release button at the side of the two
supports at the same time.
4. Pull upward on the head restraint to
fully remove it.
To reinstall the head restraints, proceed
as follows:
1. Hold down both the adjustment
button and release button while placing
the head restraint posts into the holes.
2. Then, reposition the head restraint to
the appropriate height for the
passengers.
3. Replace the seat back to the
appropriate position for passengers.Warning!
A loose head restraint thrown forward in
a collision or hard stop could cause serious
injury or death to occupants of the vehicle.
Always securely stow removed head
restraints in a location outside the occupant
compartment.
ALL the head restraints MUST be
reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect
the occupants. Follow the re-installation
instructions above prior to operating the

Power Window System Initialization
If power supply is interrupted, the
electric window automatic operation
must be re-initialized.
To perform the initialization procedure,
which must be done on each door with the
doors closed, manually fully close the
window to be initialized.
Warning!
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle,
and do not let children play with power
windows. Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. Occupants, particularly unattended
children, can become entrapped by the
windows while operating the power window
switches. Such entrapment may result in
serious injury or death.
POWER SUNROOF — IF
EQUIPPED
Power Sunroof
The power sunroof consists of a single
glass panel and is fitted with a power
sunshade the full length of the panel.
Operation of the sunroof is only possible
with the ignition in ON mode. Refer to
“Ignition System” in this chapter for
further information.
The sunroof has three preset positions:
Fully closed.
Comfort (intermediate opening).
Fully open.
Note: You cannot have the sunshade
closed when the sunroof is open.
Warning!
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, or with access to an unlocked
vehicle. Never leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. Do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with keyless ignition in the
ON mode. Occupants, particularly
unattended children, can become entrapped
by the power sunroof while operating the
power sunroof switch. Such entrapment
may result in serious injury or death.
In a collision, there is a greater risk of
being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be seriously injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are
also properly secured.
Do not allow small children to operate the
sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other
body parts, or any object, to project through
the sunroof opening. Injury may result.
Opening
To open the sunroof’s front panel, push
the open/close button toward the rear of
the vehicle to open to the comfort
position (half way). Pushing the button a
second time will open to the fully open
position.
The automatic motion can be interrupted
in any position by pushing the open/close
button again.

Caution!
Do not open the sun roof if a roof rack or
crossbars are fitted. Do not open the sun
roof if there is snow or ice on it: you may
damage it.
Closing
From the complete open position, push
the open/close button toward the front
of the vehicle. The roof will close
completely.
The automatic motion can be interrupted
in any position by pushing the open/close
button again.
Vent Opening
To bring the roof into vent position, push
and release the vent button.
This type of vent opening can be
activated regardless of the position of
the sunroof. When starting with the roof
in the closed position, pushing the vent
button automatically causes the sunroof
to open to the vent position. If the roof is
already open, the button must be held
until the roof reaches the vent-opening
position.
Pushing the vent button again during
automatic movement of the roof will stop
it.
Power Sun Shade
The sunshade is power operated.
Push the Power Shade open/close button
toward the rear of the vehicle to open the
sun shade.
Push the Power Shade open/close button
toward the front of the vehicle to close
the sun shade.
The automatic motion can be interrupted
in any position by pushing the Power
Shade on/off button again.
Pinch Protect Feature
The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle during the
closing movement. If an obstacle is
detected, the system intervenes and the
movement of the sunroof is immediately
reversed into opening.
Initialization Procedure
Automatic operation of the sunroof must
be initialized again in case of faulty
sunroof operation. It may also be
necessary to initialize the sunroof after
the vehicle’s battery as been
disconnected and then reconnected.Proceed as follows:
1. Push the open/close button to bring
the roof into the completely closed
position.
2. Cycle the ignition to STOP mode and
wait at least ten seconds.
3. Cycle the ignition to AVV mode. Refer
to “Ignition System” in this chapter for
further information.
4. Hold the open/close button down for
at least ten seconds. You should then
hear the mechanical stop of the roof
motor.
5. Within five seconds, hold the
open/close button down. The roof will
perform a complete opening and closing
cycle (to indicate that the initialization
procedure has been successful). If this
does not occur, the procedure must be
restarted from the beginning.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

SABICs may help reduce the risk of head
and other injuries to front and rear seat
outboard occupants in certain side
impacts, in addition to the injury
reduction potential provided by the seat
belts and body structure.
The SABIC deploys downward, covering
the side windows. An inflating SABIC
pushes the outside edge of the headliner
out of the way and covers the window.
The SABICs inflate with enough force to
injure occupants if they are not belted
and seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the SABICs
inflate. Children are at an even greater
risk of injury from a deploying air bag.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of
partial or complete ejection of vehicle
occupants through side windows in
certain side impact events.
Warning!
Do not mount equipment, or stack
luggage or other cargo up high enough to
block the deployment of the SABICs. The
trim covering above the side windows where
the SABIC and its deployment path are
located should remain free from any
obstructions.
In order for the SABICs to work as
intended, do not install any accessory items
in your vehicle which could alter the roof. Do
not add an aftermarket sunroof to your
vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require
permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on the vehicle roof. Do not
drill into the roof of the vehicle for any
reason.
Side Impacts
The Side Air Bags are designed to
activate in certain side impacts. The
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
determines whether the deployment of
the Side Air Bags in a particular impact
event is appropriate, based on the
severity and type of collision. The side
impact sensors aid the ORC in
determining the appropriate response to
impact events. The system is calibrated
to deploy the Side Air Bags on the impact
side of the vehicle during impacts that
require Side Air Bag occupant protection.
In side impacts, the Side Air Bags deploy
independently; a left side impact deploys
the left Side Air Bags only and a
right-side impact deploys the right Side
Air Bags only. Vehicle damage by itself is
not a good indicator of whether or not
Side Air Bags should have deployed.
The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all
side collisions, including some collisions
at certain angles, or some side collisions
that do not impact the area of the
passenger compartment. The Side Air
Bags may deploy during angled or offset
frontal collisions where the front air bags
deploy.
Side Air Bags are a supplement to the
seat belt restraint system. Side Air Bags
deploy in less time than it takes to blink
your eyes.
Warning!
Occupants, including children, who are up
against or very close to Side Air Bags can be
seriously injured or killed. Occupants,
including children, should never lean on or
sleep against the door, side windows, or
area where the side air bags inflate, even if
they are in an infant or child restraint.
Seat belts (and child restraints where
appropriate) are necessary for your
protection in all collisions. They also help
keep you in position, away from an inflating
Side Air Bag. To get the best protection
from the Side Air Bags, occupants must
wear their seat belts properly and sit
upright with their backs against the seats.
Children must be properly restrained in a
child restraint or booster seat that is
appropriate for the size of the child.
Warning!
Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not
lean against the door or window. Sit upright
in the center of the seat.
Being too close to the Side Air Bags
during deployment could cause you to be
severely injured or killed.
