• With the ignition in the ON/RUN position, the Trunk Open symbol will display in the instrument cluster indicating that the trunk is open. The odometer display will reappear
once the trunk is closed.
• With the ignition in the OFF position or the key removed from the ignition switch, the Trunk Open symbol will display until the trunk is closed.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information on trunk operation with the Passive Entry feature.
Trunk Emergency Release
• As a security measure, a Trunk Internal Emergency Release lever is built into the trunklatching mechanism. In the event of an individual being locked inside the trunk, the trunk

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as asupplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver's Advanced Front Air Bag is
mounted in the center of the steering wheel. The passenger's Advanced Front Air Bag is
mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove compartment. The words AIRBAG are
embossed on the air bag covers. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental
Driver Side Knee Air Bag mounted in the instrument panel below the steering column.
• The Advanced Front Air Bags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the air bag to have different rates of inflation based on several factors, including the severity and type
of collision.
• This vehicle may be equipped with driver and/or front passenger seat track position sensors that may adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags based upon
seat position.
• This vehicle may be equipped with a driver and/or front passenger seat belt buckle switch that detects whether the driver or front passenger seat belt is fastened. The seat belt
buckle switch may adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags.
• This vehicle may be equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) to protect 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: 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).
NOTE:
The Air Bag System is designed to be maintenance free.

WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags 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 informa- tion: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm

Autostick® (3.6L 8–Speed Transmission, If Equipped)
•Autostick® is only available on vehicles
equipped with SPORT mode.
• When the transmission is in DRIVE, it will operate automatically, shifting between
the eight available gears. While in SPORT
mode, the transmission will only shift be-
tween seven of the eight available gears.
• To engage AutoStick®, simply tap one of the steering wheel-mounted shift
paddles (+/-).
• In AutoStick® mode, the transmission will only shift up or down when (+/-) is manu-
ally selected by the driver, except as de-
scribed below. It will remain in the se-
lected gear until another upshift or
downshift is chosen.
• When AutoStick® is active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the EVIC.
• If AutoStick® is engaged while in DRIVE mode, lack of accelerator pedal activity will cause the transmission to revert to automatic operation. The transmission will also
upshift automatically once redline, (where the tachometer needle points to the red
portion of the gauge) is reached. If the accelerator is pressed to the floor, the transmis-
sion will downshift when possible (based on current vehicle speed and gear).
• When AutoStick® is used in SPORT mode, the transmission will only shift up or down when commanded by the driver, except as noted below.
• In either DRIVE or SPORT mode, the transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows to a stop (to prevent engine lugging) and will display the current gear.
Tapping the (+) paddle (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear. After a stop, the driver
should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle accelerates.
NOTE:
To disengage AutoStick® mode, press and hold the (+) shift paddle until “D” or “S” is once
again displayed in the EVIC. You can shift in or out of the AutoStick® mode at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.
