TABLE OF CONTENTS

WARNING!(Continued)
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain and/orSeat-Mounted Side Airbag during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or
killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the airbags hav e deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the airbags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
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.
Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchoragesystem 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 LATCH system 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 round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback. The rear seat lower anchors can be readily identified by the symbol
located on the seatback directly above the anchorages and are just visible when you lean into
the rear seat to install the child restraint.
• 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. GETTING STARTED

• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the lowerstraps 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.
• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are placing 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 childrestraint rearward and downward into the
seat.
• For center seating position route the tether strap over the seatback and adjustable
headrest (with the headrest in the full down
position) then attach the hook to the tether
anchor located in the panel between the rear
seatback and the rear window.
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.

WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside thevehicle. 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 severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper
restraint for the child's size.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause infants in this position to be
severely injured or killed.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely 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.
FRONT SEATS
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.
Power Lumbar
• Push the switch forward to increase thelumbar support. Push the switch rearward to
decrease the lumbar support.
• Pushing upward or downward on the switch will raise and lower the position of the
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!
• Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement of theseat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly adjusted, and
you could be severely injured or killed. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be severely injured or
killed. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
REAR SEAT
Folding Rear Seatback
• Pull on the loops, located near the outer topof the seatbacks, 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 loop.
WARNING!
• Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not securelylocked into position, the seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or
passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause you and others to severely injured or
killed.
• 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 severely injured or killed in a collision. Children should be
seated and using the proper restraint system.

POWER SUNROOF
Manual Open/Close
• Press and hold the switch rearward to open or forward to close the sunroof. Any release of theswitch will stop the movement, and the sunroof will remain in a partially open or closed position
until the switch is pressed again.
Pinch Protection Feature
• This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof or the shade duringExpress Close operation. If an obstruction in the path of the sunroof or shade is detected, the
sunroof or shade will automatically return to the open position.
NOTE: Pinch protection is disabled while the switch is pressed and held during manual opening
and closing of the sunroof or shade.
WARNING!
• Never leave children in a vehicle with the key in the ignition switch. 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 severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt properly and
make sure all passengers are properly secured too.
• 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.
