WARNING!
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons.
A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not
to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children,
and do not leave a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go ™ in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
REMOTE START
• Press the REMOTE START buttonx2on the Key Fob twice within five seconds. Pressing

THEFT ALARM
To Arm The System
Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™
Remove the key from the ignition switch and either press a power door LOCK switch while
the driver or passenger door is open or press the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. After the last door is closed, or if all doors are closed, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will arm itself in about 16 seconds. During that time, the Vehicle Security Light will
flash. If it does not illuminate, the Vehicle Security Alarm is not arming. In addition, if you
open a door during the arming period, the Vehicle Security Alarm will cancel the arming
process. If you wish to rearm the Vehicle Security Alarm after closing the door, you must
repeat one of the previously-described arming sequences.
You may also disarm the ultrasonic intrusion sensor during the 16 second arming period by
pressing the lock button three times with a delay of no more than 5 seconds between key
presses. The horn will pulse twice to acknowledge that the ultrasonic intrusion sensor has
been disabled.
NOTE:
• The driver’s door key cylinder and the trunk button on the RKE transmitter cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
• The Vehicle Security Alarm remains armed during trunk entry. Pressing the TRUNK button will not disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. If someone enters the vehicle through
the trunk, and opens any door, the alarm will sound.
• When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.
• The ultrasonic intrusion sensor may be inadvertently activated by a child, pet or shifting package left within the vehicle after the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed.

SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in the lapportion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the
latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt
in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt. The lap
and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must
be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assem-
blies must be replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not
buckled up properly. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you
can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are
buckled up properly.

Manual Seat Adjustment
Forward/Rearward
• Lift up on the adjusting bar located at thefront of the seat near the floor and release
at the desired position. Then, using body
pressure, move forward and backward on
the seat to be sure that the seat adjusters
have latched.
Recliner
• Lean forward in the seat and lift the re-cliner lever, then lean back to the desired
position and release the lever.
• Lift the lever to return the seatback to an upright position.
Height Adjustment
• Ratchet the front lever, located on the outboard side of the seat, upward to raise the seat height.
• Ratchet the lever downward to lower the seat height.
CAUTION!
Do not place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it may cause
damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if movement is stopped by
an obstruction in the seat's path.
WARNING!
• Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly adjusted,
and you could be severely injured or killed. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is
parked.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting against
your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be severely injured
or killed. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.

• To drive, depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front of the shift lever and movethe shift lever from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
• Manual shifts can also be made using the AutoStick® shift control.
• This transmission is programmed to prevent shifting from Reverse to Drive or Drive to Reverse, if vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h). This safety feature helps protect your
transmission from damage.
NOTE:
• When stopped on an incline, it is recommended that you always hold the vehicle in place using the brakes. On steep inclines, Hill Start Assist (HSA) will temporarily hold the car in
position when the brake pedal is released. If the accelerator pedal is not applied after a
short time, the car will roll back. Either reapply the brake (to hold the vehicle) or press the
accelerator to climb the hill.
• During acceleration, gear changes will feel smooth compared to a vehicle with a tradi- tional manual transmission. This is a benefit of the dual clutch design that avoids power
loss during up-shifts.
Instrument Cluster Messages
• Messages will be displayed in the instrument cluster (if equipped with an EVIC) to alert the driver when certain conditions occur. These messages are described below.
MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
GEAR NOT AVAILABLE In AutoStick® mode, the gear selected by the
driver is not available due to a fault condi-
tion. See your authorized dealer for diagnosis and service.
SHIFT NOT ALLOWED The gear position requested by the driver is
currently blocked. This occurs if NEUTRAL is requested while moving, if REVERSE is re-
quested while moving (at 6 mph [10 km/h] or faster), if DRIVE is requested while moving
backwards (at 6 mph [10 km/h] or faster), or if 3rd gear or higher is requested at a stop.
Make sure the vehicle is stopped before en- gaging DRIVE or REVERSE.
SHIFT TO NEUTRAL THEN D or R The transmission has shifted itself into NEU- TRAL (due to a fault condition, or overheatdue to excessive idling when stopped in
DRIVE with the brakes released), but the shift lever remains in gear. Shift into NEUTRAL
and then back into gear for continued driving. If the transmission will not reengage, see your authorized dealer.

• Provide your name, vehicle identification number, license plate number, and your loca- tion, including the telephone number from which you are calling.
• Briefly describe the nature of the problem and answer a few simple questions.
• You will be given the name of the service provider and an estimated time of arrival. If you feel you are in an “unsafe situation”, please let us know. With your consent, we will
contact local police or safety authorities.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go out with the
engine running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continu-
ously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system.
• If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you
drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly, when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Moni- toring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
• IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR
PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLAC-
ARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:
AFTER INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE
FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
80

• Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate whenthe system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue each time the vehicle is restarted as long as the malfunction
exists.
• When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature
change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the
Winter. Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is 32°F
(0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals
1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
- Engine Temperature Warning Light
• This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
• If the light turns on or flashes continuously while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and
idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off
immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam
or boiling coolant.
