• This vehicle may be equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) toprotect the driver, front, and rear passengers sitting next to a window. The SABIC air bags are
located above the side windows and their covers are labeled: SRS AIRBAG.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light
is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving,
have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air bags
work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the air bags won't
deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air Bag
deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags need room to inflate. Sit
back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the air bags 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 or younger 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.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEATCHECK (1–866–732–8243).
• Canadian residents, should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional information: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm

4. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat.Remove slack in the straps according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are equipped with a Switchable AutomaticLocking Retractor (ALR) that is designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight around
the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally,
and pull it tight if necessary.
• Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child restraint, up to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint.
To Install A Child Seat Using An ALR:
1. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the belt path of the
child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.
4. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to retract back into the retractor.
As the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This means the seat belt is now in the
Automatic Locking mode.
5. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able to pull out any webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat the last step.
6. Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.
7. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See below for
directions to attach a tether anchor.
8. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle
Seat Belt):
• When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap, up to thetether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the lower anchors or the
vehicle seat belt.
1. Rotate or lift the cover to access the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint.
2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.

3. If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the head restraint, andwhere possible, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the two posts.
If not possible, lower the head restraint and pass the tether strap around the outboard side of
the head restraint.
4. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage 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 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
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 air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in
this position.
• Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
• 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 manufac-
turer’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.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat, make sure the tether strap does not slip into
the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the 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 passen-
ger’s seat will move up or down, forward or
rearward.
• The recline switch controls the angle of the seatback. Press the switch forward or rear-
ward and the seatback will move in either
direction.

REAR SEAT
Folding Rear Seatback
• Pull on the loops, located near the outer top of the seatbacks, to fold down either or bothseatbacks. 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 securely
locked 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.
HEATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The heated seats are operated using the Uconnect® System.
• Press the Controls soft-key located on theUconnect® display.
• Press the Driver or Passenger seat soft-key once to select HI-level heating. Press the
soft-key a second time to select LO-level
heating. Press the soft-key a third time to
shut the heating elements OFF.
• If the High-level setting is selected, the sys- tem will automatically switch to Low-level
after approximately 60 minutes. The Low-
level setting will turn Off automatically after
approximately 45 minutes.

NOTE:
Any release of the switch will stop the movement and the shade will remain in a partially closed
condition until the switch is pushed and held forward again.
Pinch Protection Feature
• This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof during Express Closeoperation. If an obstruction in the path of the sunroof is detected, the sunroof will automati-
cally retract. Remove the obstruction if this occurs. Next, press the switch forward and release
to Express Close.
NOTE:
If three consecutive sunroof close attempts result in Pinch Protect reversals, the fourth close
attempt will be a Manual Close movement with Pinch Protect disabled.
WARNING!
• Do not let children play with the sunroof. Never leave children unattended in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, and do
not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or
ON/RUN position. 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.
• 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.
WIND BUFFETING
• Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting occurswith the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
• If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any window. This will minimize buffeting.
