deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular side impact or rollover event is appropriate,
based on the severity and type of collision. Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of
whether or not Side Air Bags should have deployed.
WARNING!
• Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in
the center of the seat.

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.
• Canadian residents should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional information:

restraint is 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether anchor instead of the LATCH system
once the combined weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
Locating The LATCH Lower Anchorages
The lower anchorages are round bars that are found 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 gap between the seatback and
seat cushion.

To I n s t a l l A C h i l d S e a t U s i n g A n A L R :
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.
To I n s t a l l A C h i l d S e a t U s i n g A C i n c h i n g L a t c h P l a t e :
1. Place the child seat in the center of the seating position.
2. Next, 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.
3. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
4. Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint
while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.
5. 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.
6. 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 the
tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the lower anchors or the
vehicle seat belt.

WARNING!
Securely lock the seat cushion into position before using the seat. Otherwise, the seat will not
provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat
cushion could cause serious injury.
WARNING!
•Inacollision,anunrestrainedchild,evenatinybaby,canbecomeaprojectileinsidethe
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-facingchildseatsmustneverbeusedinthefrontseatofavehiclewithafront
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.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in the
event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is
located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants must be properly installed and adjusted prior to
operating the vehicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints should never be adjusted while the
vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted or removed
could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision.

Active Head Restraints — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable components, and vehicles with this equipment
cannot be readily identified by any markings, only through visual inspection of the head restraint.
The Active Head Restraints (AHR) will be split in two halves, with the front half being soft foam
and trim, the back half being decorative plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the front half of the head restraint extends forward to
minimize the gap between the back of the occupant’s head and the AHR. This system is designed
to help prevent or reduce the extent of injuries to the driver and front passenger in certain types
of rear impacts. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further
information.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head restraint, press the
push button, located at the base of the head restraint, and push downward on the head restraint.
For comfort the Active Head Restraints can be tilted forward and rearward. To tilt the head
restraint closer to the back of your head, pull forward on the bottom of the head restraint. Push
rearward on the bottom of the head restraint to move the head restraint away from your head.
NOTE:
•Theheadrestraintsshouldonlyberemovedbyqualifiedtechnicians,forservicepurposesonly.
If either of the head restraints require removal, see your authorized dealer.

Restraint in the event of a collision and could result in serious injury or death.
•ActiveHeadRestraintsmaybedeployediftheyarestruckbyanobjectsuchasahand,
foot or loose cargo. To avoid accidental deployment of the Active Head Restraint ensure
that all cargo is secured, as loose cargo could contact the Active Head Restraint during
sudden stops. Failure to follow this warning could cause personal injury if the Active Head
Restraint is deployed.
Head Restraints — Second Row Quad Seats
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head restraint, press the
push button, located at the base of the head restraint, and push downward on the head restraint.
Head Restraints — Second Row Bench
If your vehicle is equipped with a second row bench seat, the head restraints are not adjustable.
Head Restraints — Third Row
The head restraint in the center position can be raised and lowered for tether routing. Refer to
“Occupant Restraints” in your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.

Pinch Protection Feature
• This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof during Express Close
operation. 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 P inch Protect reversals, the fourth close
attempt will be a Manual Close movement with Pinch Protect disabled.
WARNING!
