1-16 In Brief
Parking Assist
If equipped, this system uses
sensors on the rear bumper to
assist with parking and avoiding
objects while in R (Reverse).
It operates at speeds less than
8 km/h (5 mph). Rear Parking Assist
(RPA) uses audible beeps to
provide distance and system
information.
Keep the sensors on the vehicle's
rear bumper clean to ensure proper
operation.
SeeParking Assist on page 9-48.
Power Outlets
The vehicle has two accessory
power outlets; one is below the
climate control system and the other
is inside the center console storage.
They can be used to plug in
electrical equipment, such as a cell
phone or an MP3 player. The accessory power outlets do not
work when the key is removed from
the ignition and the driver door is
opened. This helps to preserve the
battery life of the vehicle.
See
Power Outlets on page 5-5.
Universal Remote System
If equipped, this system provides a
way to replace up to three remote
control transmitters used to activate
devices such as garage door
openers, security systems, and
home automation devices.
Read the instructions completely
before attempting to program the
Universal Remote system. Because
of the steps involved, it may be
helpful to have another person available to assist you with
programming the Universal Remote
system.
See
Universal Remote System on
page 5-48.
Sunroof
The ignition must be in ON/RUN,
ACC/ACCESSORY, or Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) to operate
the sunroof. See Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) on
page 9-23.
On vehicles with a sunroof, the
switch is on the overhead console.

{Warning
Leaving children in a vehicle with
the ignition key is dangerous for
many reasons. Children or others
could be badly injured or even
killed. They could operate the
power windows or other controls
or even make the vehicle move.
The windows will function with the
keys in the ignition and children
could be seriously injured or killed
if caught in the path of a closing
window. Do not leave the keys in
a vehicle with children.

window goes under the roof seal.
Express Window Operation
Coupe and Convertible Top
The window switches have an
express-up and down feature that
raises or lowers the window without
holding the switch. Pull the switch
up or press it down all the way and
release it. Stop the window by
operating the switch in the same
direction.

To express-up a front window, the
same side rear window must be
closed.
To close all the windows, pull all
window switches up fully and
release within four seconds. This
will result in the windows closing
automatically.
Express Window Anti-Pinch
Feature
When express-up is active, the
window will auto-reverse if there is
an obstruction or severe icing. The
window returns to normal operation
after the obstruction or condition is
removed.
If conditions prevent a window from
closing and it continues to
auto-reverse, the window can be
closed by having the ignition in ON/
RUN and holding the window switch
up until the window is closed.
Express Window Anti-Pinch
Override
{Warning
If express override is activated,
the window will not reverse
automatically. You or others could
be injured and the window could
be damaged. Before you use(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
express override, make sure that
all people and obstructions are
clear of the window path.
In an emergency, the anti-pinch
feature can be overridden in a
supervised mode. Hold the window
switch all the way up to the second
position. The window will rise for as
long as the switch is held. Once the
switch is released, the express
mode is re-activated.
In this mode, the window can still
close on an object in its path. Use
care when using the override mode.
Programming the Power
Windows
If the battery on the vehicle has
been recharged or disconnected,
or is not working, you may need to
reprogram the windows for the
express-up feature to work. Before
reprogramming, replace or recharge
the vehicle's battery.

If the sunshade is closed, it opens
automatically when the sunroof
opens past the vented position.
{Caution
Forcing the sunshade forward of
the sliding glass panel may cause
damage and the sunroof may not

could cause an issue with sunroof
operation or noise. It could also plug
the water drainage system.
Periodically open the sunroof and
remove any obstacles or loose
debris. Wipe the sunroof seal and
roof sealing area using a clean
cloth, mild soap, and water. Do not
remove grease from the sunroof.

3-12 Seats and Restraints
To unlatch the belt, push the button
on the buckle. The belt should
return to its stowed position.
Before a door is closed, be sure the
safety belt is out of the way. If a
door is slammed against a safety
belt, damage can occur to both the
safety belt and the vehicle.
Safety Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has safety belt
pretensioners for the front outboard
occupants. Although the safety belt
pretensioners cannot be seen, they
are part of the safety belt assembly.They can help tighten the safety
belts during the early stages of a
moderate to severe frontal,
near-frontal, or rear crash if the
threshold conditions for pretensioner
activation are met. If the vehicle has
side impact airbags, safety belt
pretensioners can help tighten the
safety belts in a side crash. And,
if the vehicle has roof-rail airbags
the safety belt pretensioners can
help tighten the safety belts during a
rollover crash.
Pretensioners work only once. If the
pretensioners activate in a crash,
the pretensioners and probably
other parts of the vehicle's safety
belt system will need to be replaced.
See
Replacing Safety Belt System
Parts after a Crash on page 3-15.
Rear Safety Belt Comfort
Guides
This vehicle may have rear safety
belt comfort guides. If not, they are
available through your dealer. Rear shoulder belt comfort guides
may provide added safety belt
comfort for older children who have
outgrown booster seats and for
some adults. When installed on a
shoulder belt, the comfort guide
positions the shoulder belt away
from the neck and head.
To install:1. Pull the elastic cord out from
between the edge of the
seatback and the interior body to
remove the guide from its
storage clip.

3-16 Seats and Restraints
Airbag System
The vehicle has the following
airbags:
.A frontal airbag for the driver.
.A frontal airbag for the front
outboard passenger.
.A seat-mounted side impact
airbag for the driver.
.A seat-mounted side impact
airbag for the front outboard
passenger.
The vehicle may also have the
following airbags:
.A roof-rail airbag for the driver
and the passenger seated
directly behind the driver.
.A roof-rail airbag for the front
outboard passenger and the
passenger seated directly
behind the front outboard
passenger. All vehicle airbags in your vehicle
will have the word AIRBAG in the
trim or on a label near the
deployment opening.
For frontal airbags, the word
AIRBAG will appear on the middle
part of the steering wheel for the
driver and on the instrument panel
for the front outboard passenger.
For seat-mounted side impact
airbags, the word AIRBAG is on the
side of the seatback closest to
the door.
For roof-rail airbags, the word
AIRBAG is on the ceiling or trim.
Airbags are designed to supplement
the protection provided by safety
belts. Even though today's airbags
are also designed to help reduce
the risk of injury from the force of an
inflating bag, all airbags must inflate
very quickly to do their job.
Here are the most important things
to know about the airbag system:
{Warning
You can be severely injured or
killed in a crash if you are not
wearing your safety belt, even
with airbags. Airbags are
designed to work with safety
belts, not replace them. Also,
airbags are not designed to inflate
in every crash. In some crashes
safety belts are the only restraint.
See
When Should an Airbag
Inflate? on page 3-19.
Wearing your safety belt during a
crash helps reduce the chance of
hitting things inside the vehicle or
being ejected from it. Airbags are
“supplemental restraints” to the
safety belts. Everyone in the
vehicle should wear a safety belt
properly, whether or not there is
an airbag for that person.
