WARNING!(Continued)
Do not put anything on or aroundthe air bag covers or attempt to
open them manually. You may
damage the air bags and you
could be injured because the air
bags may no longer be functional.
The protective covers for the air
bag cushions are designed to open
only when the air bags are inflat-
ing.
Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee bolster in any way.
Do not mount any accessories to the knee bolster such as alarm
lights, stereos, citizen band ra-
dios, etc.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB)
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB) may provide enhanced
protection to help protect an occupant
during a side impact. The SAB is
marked with an air bag label sewn
into the outboard side of the front
seats. When the air bag deploys, it opens the
seam between the front and side of the
seat’s trim cover. Each air bag deploys
independently; a left side impact de-
ploys the left air bag only and a right-
side impact deploys the right air bag
only.
Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)
SABIC air bags may offer side-impact
protection to front and rear seat out-
board occupants in addition to that
provided by the body structure. Each
air bag features inflated chambers
placed adjacent to the head of each
outboard occupant that reduce the po-
tential for side-impact head injuries. The SABIC deploy downward, cover-
ing both windows on the impact side.
NOTE:
Air Bag covers may not be obvi-
ous in the interior trim, but they
will open during air bag deploy-
ment.
Being too close to the side air bags during deployment could
cause you to be severely injured
or killed.
SAB and SABIC air bags are a supple-
ment to the seat belt restraint system.
Occupants, including children who
are up against or very close to SAB or
SABIC air bags can be seriously in-
jured or killed. Occupants, especially
children, should not lean on or sleep

against the door, side windows, or
area where the SAB or SABIC air bags
inflate, even if they are in an infant or
child restraint. Always sit upright as
possible with your back against the
seat back, use the seat belts properly,
and use the appropriate sized child
restraint, infant restraint or booster
seat recommended for the size and
weight of the child.
The system includes side impact sen-
sors that are calibrated to deploy the
side air bags during impacts that re-
quire air bag occupant protection.
WARNING!
Your vehicle is equipped withSABIC air bags, do not have any
accessory items installed which
will alter the roof, including add-
ing a sunroof to your vehicle. Do
not add roof racks that require
permanent attachments (bolts or
screws) for installation on the ve-
hicle roof. Do not drill into the
roof of the vehicle for any reason.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Your vehicle is equipped with leftand right Supplemental Side Air
Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC),
do not stack luggage or other
cargo up high enough to block the
location of the SABIC. The area
where the SABIC is located
should remain free from any ob-
structions.
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.
Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag
The Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag provides enhanced protection
and works together with the Driver
Advanced Front Air Bag during a
frontal impact.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help pro-
tect the knees of the driver and front passenger, and position the front oc-
cupants for the best interaction with
the Advanced Front Air Bags.
Along with seat belts and pretension-
ers, Advanced Front Air Bags and the
Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag
work with the knee impact bolsters to
provide improved protection for the
driver and front passenger.
AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT
SENSORS AND CONTROLS
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)
The ORC is part of a regulated safety
system required for this vehicle.
The ORC determines if deployment of
the front and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor's signals,
a central electronic ORC deploys the
Advanced Front Air Bags, SABIC air
bags, SAB, Supplemental Driver Side
Knee Air Bag, and front seat belt pre-
tensioners, as required, depending on
several factors, including the severity
and type of impact.

The inflating side curtain air bag
pushes the outside edge of the head-
liner out of the way and covers the
window. The air bag inflates in about
30 milliseconds (about one-quarter of
the time that it takes to blink your
eyes) with enough force to injure you
if you are not belted and seated prop-
erly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the side curtain air bag
inflates. This especially applies to
children. The side curtain air bag is
only about 9 cm thick when it is in-
flated.
Because air bag sensors estimate de-
celeration over time, vehicle speed
and damage are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sen-
sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact
events.Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica-
tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the En-
hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine.
Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the igni-
tion is cycled off.
Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is
removed.
Unlock the doors automatically.
In order to reset the Enhanced Acci-
dent Response System functions after
an event, the ignition switch must be
changed from IGN ON to IGN OFF. If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are de-
signed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
NOTE: Front and/or side air bags
will not deploy in all collisions.
This does not mean something is
wrong with the air bag system.
If you do have a collision, which de-
ploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:
The nylon air bag material may
sometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags de-
ploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or
those you might get sliding along a
carpet or gymnasium floor. They
are not caused by contact with
chemicals. They are not permanent
and normally heal quickly. How-
ever, if you haven't healed signifi-
cantly within a few days, or if you
have any blistering, see your doctor
immediately.

window. These tether strap anchor-
ages are under a plastic cover with the
tether anchorage symbol on it.
ISOFIX child restraint systems will be
equipped with a rigid bar on each
side. Each will have a hook or connec-
tor to attach to the lower anchorage
and a way to tighten the connection to
the anchorage. Forward-facing child
restraints and some rear-facing infant
restraints may also be equipped with
a tether strap. The tether strap will
have a hook at the end to attach to the
top tether anchorage and a way to
tighten the strap after it is attached to
the anchorage.Center Seat ISOFIX
If a child restraint installed in the
center position blocks the seat belt
webbing or buckle for the outboard
position, do not use that outboard po-
sition. If a child seat in the center
position blocks the outboard ISOFIX
anchors or seat belt, do not install a
child seat in that outboard position.
WARNING!
Never use the same lower anchor-
age to attach more than one child
restraint. Please refer to “To Install
a ISOFIX-Compatible Child Re-
straint” for typical installation in-
structions.
Always follow the directions of the
child restraint manufacturer when in-
stalling your child restraint. Not all
child restraint systems will be in-
stalled as described here. To Install An ISOFIX-compatible
Child Restraint
1. If the selected seating position has
a Switchable Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) seat belt, stow the seat
belt, following the instructions below.
See the section “Installing Child Re-
straints Using the Vehicle Seat Belt”
to check what type of seat belt each
seating position has.
2. Loosen the adjusters on the lower
connectors and on the tether strap of
the child seat so that you can more
easily attach the connectors to the ve-
hicle anchorages.
3. Place the child seat between the
lower anchorages for that seating po-
sition. For some second row seats, you
may need to recline the seat and / or
raise the head restraint to get a better
fit. If the rear seat can be moved for-
ward and rearward in the vehicle, you
may wish to move it to its rear-most
position to make room for the child
seat. You may also move the front seat
forward to allow more room for the
car seat.

WARNING!(Continued)
If you are required to drive withthe trunk/liftgate/rear doors
open, make sure that all windows
are closed and the climate control
BLOWER switch is set at high
speed. DO NOT use the recircula-
tion mode.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into
the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex-
haust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system, when
exhaust fumes can be detected inside
the vehicle, or when the underside or
rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a
competent mechanic inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and adjacent
body areas for broken, damaged, de-
teriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the passenger compartment. In
addition, inspect the exhaust system
each time the vehicle is raised for lu-
brication or oil change. Replace as
required.
SAFETY CHECKS YOU
SHOULD MAKE INSIDE
THE VEHICLE
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be re-
placed immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision. Rear seat
belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regard-
ing belt or retractor condition, replace
the belt.
Air Bag Warning Light
The light should come on
and remain on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition
switch is first turned ON. If the light is
not lit during starting, see your autho-
rized dealer. If the light stays on,
flickers, or comes on while driving,
have the system checked by an autho-
rized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the de-
frost mode and place the blower con-
trol on high speed. You should be able
to feel the air directed against the
windshield. See your authorized
dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly se-
cured so that they cannot slip out of

For best performance, adjust therearview mirror to provide at least 1
cm gap between the overhead con-
sole (for versions/markets, where
provided) and the mirror.
Always wait for the beep before speaking. Speak normally, without pausing,
just as you would speak to a person
sitting a few meters away from you.
Make sure that no one other than you is speaking during a voice com-
mand period.
Performance is maximized under: low-to-medium blower setting,
low-to-medium vehicle speed,
low road noise,
smooth road surface,
fully closed windows,
dry weather condition.
Even though the system is designed for several different accents, the
system may not always work for
some.
When navigating through an auto- mated system such as voice mail, or
when sending a page, before speak-
ing the digit string, make sure to
say “Send”.
Storing names in your favorites phonebook when the vehicle is not
in motion is recommended. Phonebook (Mobile and Favorites)

Wind buffeting can be described as
the perception of pressure on the ears
or a helicopter-type sound in the ears.
Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffet-
ing with the windows down, or the
sunroof (for versions/markets, where
provided) in certain open or partially
open positions. This is a normal oc-
currence and can be minimized. If the
buffeting occurs with the rear win-
dows open, open the front and rear
windows together to minimize the
buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with
the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof
opening to minimize the buffeting or
open any window.
