Supplemental Side Air Bags
•ThisvehicleisequippedwithSupplementalSeat-MountedSideAirBags(SABs)locatedin
the outboard side of the front seats. The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG
label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
•ThisvehicleisequippedwithSupplementalSideAirBagInflatableCurtains(SABICs)located
above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of vehicle occupants
through side windows in certain side impact events.
•TheSABICsandSABs(“SideAirBags”)aredesignedtoactivateincertainsideimpactsand
certain rollover events. The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”) determines whether the
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.

Side Air Bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, Side Air

of the vehicle for any reason.

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:

LATCH – Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren

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.
Lower Anchorages

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.
•Ifyourvehicleisequippedwithasplitrearseat,makesurethetetherstrapdoesnotslipinto
the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the 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.
•IntheeventofdeploymentofanActiveHeadRestraint, refer to “Occupant Restraints” in your

WARNING!
•DonotplaceitemsoverthetopoftheActiveHeadRestraint,suchascoats,seatcoversor
portable DVD players. These items may interfere with the operation of the Active Head
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.

forward/rearward for occupant comfort.
Third Row Power Seat Switch
NOTE:
Disconnect the center shoulder belt from the
small buckle and lower the head restraints be-
fore attempting to fold/stow the power third
row seats.
A one-touch power folding seat switch is located
in the left rear trim panel as part of a switch bank.
Left and right third row seats can be folded
individually or together. The third row power
folding seats adjust to multiple positions.
The switch is only functional when the liftgate is
open and the vehicle is in PARK.
To abort seat operation while the seat is in
motion, press a different seat position selector
switch to stop the seat. Once the seat stops moving, then the desired position can be selected.
The third row power seat system includes obstacle detection for safe operation. When the system
detects an obstacle, the motors will stop and reverse the motion a short distance to move the seat
away from the obstacle. Should this occur, remove the obstacle and press the button again for the
desired position.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for manual third row seat folding instructions.
