Stowable Seat
If your vehicle has a third row seat, it is a power
folding seat.
The head rests must be removed before folding the
third row seat, seeHead Restraints on page 1-9.
The buttons to operate the power folding third row seat
are inside the liftgate and behind the second row seat on
the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
e:Press to tilt the seatback forward or rearward.
f:Press to fold the seat.
Notice:Folding a rear seat with the safety belts
still fastened may cause damage to the seat or
the safety belts. Always unbuckle the safety belts
and return them to their normal stowed position
before folding a rear seat.Before folding or unfolding the third row seat, all of the
following conditions must be met:
The liftgate or passenger’s side rear door must
be open.
The unlock button on either the remote keyless entry
transmitter or the door must be pressed three times
to enable the rear seat for two minutes, or the ignition
must be in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY.

The roof-rail airbags for the driver, right front passenger,
and second row outboard passengers are in the ceiling
above the side windows.
{CAUTION:
If something is between an occupant and an
airbag, the airbag might not inate properly
or it might force the object into that person
causing severe injury or even death. The path
of an inating airbag must be kept clear. Do
not put anything between an occupant and an
airbag, and do not attach or put anything on
the steering wheel hub or on or near any other
airbag covering.
Do not use seat accessories that block the
ination path of a seat-mounted side impact
airbag.
If your vehicle has roof-rail airbags, never
secure anything to the roof of your vehicle by
routing the rope or tie down through any door
or window opening. If you do, the path of an
inating roof-rail airbag will be blocked. Driver Side shown, Passenger Side similar
1-60

What Will You See After an Airbag
Inates?
After the frontal airbags and seat-mounted side impact
airbags inate, they quickly deate, so quickly that some
people may not even realize an airbag inated. Roof-rail
airbags may still be at least partially inated for some
time after they deploy. Some components of the airbag
module may be hot for several minutes. For location of
the airbag modules, seeWhat Makes an Airbag Inflate?
on page 1-63.
The parts of the airbag that come into contact with you
may be warm, but not too hot to touch. There may be
some smoke and dust coming from the vents in the
deated airbags. Airbag ination does not prevent the
driver from seeing out of the windshield or being able to
steer the vehicle, nor does it prevent people from leaving
the vehicle.
{CAUTION:
When an airbag inates, there may be dust
in the air. This dust could cause breathing
problems for people with a history of asthma or
other breathing trouble. To avoid this, everyone
in the vehicle should get out as soon as it is
safe to do so. If you have breathing problems
but cannot get out of the vehicle after an airbag
inates, then get fresh air by opening a window
or a door. If you experience breathing problems
following an airbag deployment, you should
seek medical attention.
Your vehicle has a feature that may automatically
unlock the doors, turn the interior lamps on, and turn
the hazard warning ashers on when the airbags inate.
You can lock the doors, turn the interior lamps off,
and turn the hazard warning ashers off by using the
controls for those features.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter functions,
including lock, unlock, power liftgate, vehicle locator/
panic alarm and remote vehicle start, if your vehicle has
this feature, will work up to 195 feet (60 m) away.
If your vehicle has the remote vehicle start feature,
you will be able start your vehicle with the RKE
transmitter. However, the range may be less while
the vehicle is running and you may need to be closer
to your vehicle to turn it off than you were to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter. SeeRemote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System on page 2-4.
Q(Lock):Press this symbol on the RKE transmitter to
lock the doors. This also arms the theft-deterrent system.
SeeTheft-Deterrent System on page 2-20for additional
information.
You can program your vehicle so that the exterior lamps
will ash and/or the horn will sound when you lock the
doors with the RKE transmitter. SeeDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 3-62for more information on
programming this feature.
"(Unlock):Press this symbol on the RKE transmitter
to unlock the driver’s door. This also disarms the
theft-deterrent system. Press the button again, within
ve seconds, to unlock the rest of the doors.With Remote Start
(Without Remote Start
Similar)

You can program your vehicle so that the exterior lamps
will ash when you unlock the doors with the RKE
transmitter. SeeDIC Vehicle Customization on page 3-62
for more information on programming this feature.
If your vehicle is programmed for remote conrmation,
the doors must be closed for this feature to work.
If a door is open, remote conrmation will be canceled.
/(Remote Vehicle Start):Your vehicle may be
started from outside the vehicle using the RKE
transmitter. SeeRemote Vehicle Start on page 2-7.
L(Panic Alarm):Press and release this button to
locate your vehicle. The turn signal lamps will ash and
the horn will sound three times. Press and hold this
button for more than two seconds to activate the panic
alarm. The turn signal lamps will ash and the horn
will sound repeatedly for 30 seconds. The alarm will
turn off when the ignition is turned to ON/RUN or
the alarm button is pressed again. The ignition must
be in LOCK/OFF for the panic alarm to work.
&(Power Liftgate):Press and hold this button
on the RKE transmitter to open and close the liftgate.
The taillamps will ash and a chime will sound to
indicate when the liftgate is opening and closing.
Matching Transmitter(s) to
Your Vehicle
Each RKE transmitter is coded to prevent another
transmitter from unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter
is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased
through your dealer/retailer. Remember to bring any
additional transmitters with you so that all of them
can be re-coded to match the new transmitter. Once your
dealer/retailer has coded the new transmitter, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can
have a maximum of eight transmitters matched to it.
See RELEARN REMOTE KEY underDIC Operation and
Displays on page 3-48
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your RKE transmitter
should last about four years.
The battery is weak if the transmitter will not work at the
normal range in any location. If you have to get close to
your vehicle before the transmitter works, it is probably
time to change the battery.
The REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY message in
the vehicle’s DIC will display if the RKE transmitter
battery is low. See “REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE
KEY” underDIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-53.
2-6

Laws in some communities may restrict the use of
remote starters. For example, some laws may require
a person using remote start to have the vehicle in
view when doing so. Check local regulations for any
requirements on remote starting of vehicles.
Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle is
low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
Your RKE transmitter, with the remote start button,
provides an increased range of operation. However,
the range may be less while the vehicle is running.
As a result, you may need to be closer to your vehicle
to turn it off than you were to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, seeRemote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation on page 2-5for
additional information./(Remote Start):This button will be on the RKE
transmitter if you have remote start.
To start the vehicle using the remote start feature:
1. Aim the transmitter at the vehicle.
2. Press and release the transmitter’s lock button,
then immediately press and hold the transmitter’s
remote start button until the turn signal lights
ash or if the vehicle’s lights are not visible,
press and hold the remote start button for at
least four seconds. The vehicle’s doors will lock.
Pressing the remote start button again after
the vehicle has started will turn off the vehicle.
When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will turn
on and remain on while the vehicle is running.
3. If it is the rst remote start since the vehicle has
been driven, repeat these steps, while the engine
is still running, to extend the engine running
time by 10 minutes. Remote start can be extended
one time.
After entering the vehicle during a remote start, insert
and turn the key to ON/RUN to drive the vehicle.
If the vehicle is left running it will automatically shut off
after 10 minutes unless a time extension has been done.
