TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 every Canadian province requires 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. http://
www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm
Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchor- age system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren.
• Child seats with fixed lower attachments can be installed in the outboard positions only. Child seats with flexible lower attachments can be used in all three seating positions.
• Never use the same lower anchorage to attach more than one child restraint. If you are
installing LATCH-compatible child restraints next to each other, you must use the seat
belt for the center position. You can then use either the LATCH anchors or the vehicle’s
seat belt for installing the next child seat in the outboard position.
• The LATCH lower anchorages are round bars, located at the rear of the seat cush-
ion 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 intersection of the seatback
and seat cushion surfaces.
• In addition, there are tether strap anchor- ages 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.

• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you canattach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages that are designated for that seating position.
• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint 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 restraint.
• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward
into the seat.
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.
• 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 belt webbing to retract back into the retractor. As the belt
webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This means the safety seat belt is now in
the Automatic Locking mode.
• 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 step above.
• 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.
• 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 insidethe 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.
• 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.
• 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.
FRONT SEATS
Power Seats
• The power seat switches are located onthe outboard side of the front seat cush-
ions.
• The power seat switch controls forward/ back, up/down and tilt adjustment.
• 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 the lumbar 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.

REAR SEAT
Folding Rear Seatback
• Pull on the loops, located near the outertop of 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
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.

WARNING!
• Do not let children play with the sunroof, or leave children unattended in the vehiclewith the key fob in or near the vehicle. 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
occurs with 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.
SIX-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
• This vehicle may be equipped with a fuel efficient Dual-Dry Clutch, Six Speed AutomaticTransmission. This transmission offers a sportier driving experience with faster
AutoStick® shifting.
• During low-speed driving conditions in first gear, vehicle momentum changes may feel exaggerated in response to changes in accelerator pedal position. This behavior is
normal and is similar to vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
NOTE:
• Very aggressive driving may result in some clutch odor similar to a manual transmission. An active warning message will display in the Instrument Cluster if cool down actions are
needed.
•
The first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition,
and precision shifts will develop within a few hundred miles (kilometers).
• At low speeds you may hear mechanical noises similar to a manual transmission as the transmission changes gears. These noises are normal and will not damage the trans-
mission.
• Before and after the engine is started, you may hear a hydraulic pump for a short period of time. This noise is normal and will not damage the transmission.
Shifting The Transmission
• The transmission shift lever position (PRND) is displayed both on the shift lever and in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
