THEFT ALARM
To Arm
•Equipped with Keyless Go: Press the Keyless Go Start/Stop button until the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) indicates that the vehicle ignition is
“OFF,” then press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the
door is open.
• Not equipped with Keyless Go: Press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door
lock switch while the door is open.
To Disarm
• Equipped with Keyless Go: Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button and press the
Keyless Go Start/Stop button (requires at least one valid Key Fob in the vehicle).
• Not equipped with Keyless Go: Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button and turn the
ignition to the ON position.
SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and
others in your vehicle are buckled up properly.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted
for ignoring it.
GETTING STARTED

WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectileinside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you
are. The child and others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle
should be in a proper restraint for the child’s size.
• Rearward-facing child seats must NEVERbe used in the front seat of a vehicle
with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury
or death to infants in this position.
Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle’s second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren. LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed at all three rear
seating positions.
• Both rear outboard seating positions and the rear center seating position have lower anchors and top tether anchors.
• Child seats with flexible or fixed rigid attachments can be installed in all rear seating positions. Child seats can be installed using the LATCHsystem in either or
both outboard seating positions or the center position, but not all three at the
same time. If a child seat is installed in an outboard seating position using the
lower anchors, then the vehicle seatbelt must be used for the center position.
• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common
lower anchorage.
• The rear seat lower anchorages are roundbars, located at the rear of the seat
cushion where it meets the seatback. They
are just visible when you lean into the rear
seat to install the child restraint. You will
easily feel them if you run your finger
along the intersection of the seatback and
seat cushion surfaces.
• In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located in the panel between the rear seatback and the rear window. These tether
strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.
• Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seat cover material.
13
GETTING STARTED

• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you areplacing the child restrain and attach the tether strap to the anchorage, being
careful to route the tether strap to provide the most direct path between the
anchor and the child restrain.
• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat.
WARNING!
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead tofailure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child
restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the
child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the
retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch
plate into the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap
portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint. These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.
• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.
• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
FRONT SEATS
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement
of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly
adjusted, and you could be injured. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked.

Power Seats
• The power seat switches are located on theoutboard side of the front seat cushions.
• The seat switch controls, forward/ backward, up/down or to recline the seat.
The passenger’s seat will move up or down,
forward or rearward.
• The recline switch controls the angle of the seatback. Press the switch forward or
rearward and the seatback will move in
either direction.
CAUTION!
DO NOT place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it
may cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if
movement is stopped by an obstruction in the seat’s path.
Lumbar Support
• Rotate the control lever forward to increase and rearward to decrease the desired
amount of lumbar support.
CAUTION!
DO NOT place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it
may cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if
movement is stopped by an obstruction in the seat’s path.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting
against your ch est. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be
seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.

REAR SEAT
Folding Rear Seatback
• Pull on the loops to fold down either or both seatbacks. These loops can be tucked
away when not in use.
• When the seatback is raised to the upright position, make sure it is latched by strongly
pulling on the top of the seatback above
the seat strap.
WARNING!
• Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback isnot securely locked into position, the seat will not provide the proper stability for
child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious
injury.
• The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks in the locked-up or folded down position) should not be used as a play area by children
when the vehicle is in motion. They could be seriously injured in an accident.
Children should be seated and using the proper restraint system.

• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion
or other physical conditions must exercise care when using the seat heater. It
may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of
time.
• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has
been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.

TIRE PRESSURES
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly
and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE: Refer to the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for more information on the life of
tires.
WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents. Under-inflation is
the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component
separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock.
Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your
vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can
fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
