REMOTE START
• Press the REMOTE START buttonx2on the Key Fob twice within five seconds. Pressing
the REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off.
• To drive the vehicle, with a valid Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Key Fob within 5 ft (1.5m) of the driver's side of the vehicle, grab the front driver door handle to unlock the driver's door
automatically, then press the Start/Stop switch. Or press the UNLOCK button, insert the
Key Fob in the ignition and turn to the ON/RUN position.
• With remote start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
• The vehicle must be started with the Key Fob after two consecutive timeouts.
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is
poisonous and can cause you or others to be severely injured or killed when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause you and others to be
severely injured or killed.

Accessory Positions With Engine Off
NOTE:
The following functions are with the driver’s foot OFF the Brake Pedal (transmission in PARK
or NEUTRAL).
Beginning With The Ignition Switch In The OFF Position:
• Push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to cycle the ignition to the ACC position.
• Push the ENGINE START/STOP button a second time to cycle the ignition to the ON/RUNposition.

(engine not running) position and the trans-
mission is in PARK, the system will auto-
matically time out after 30 minutes of inac-
tivity and the ignition is returned to the OFF
position.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
This Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors, liftgate, and ignition switch for unauthor-
ized operation.
When the alarm is activated, the interior switches for door locks are disabled. The Vehicle
Security Alarm provides both audio and visual signals repeatedly for three minutes. If the
disturbance is still present (driver's door, passenger door, other doors, ignition) after three
minutes, the parking lights and tail lights will flash for an additional 15 minutes.
To Arm
Cycle the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button until the button display indicates that
the vehicle ignition is “OFF”. Push the power door lock switch while the door is open, push
the Key Fob LOCK button, or with one of the Key Fobs located outside the vehicle and within
5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver's and passenger front door handles, push the Keyless Enter-N-Go™
LOCK button located on the door handle.

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
LATCH — Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren
• Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH, whichstands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.
•
The second row seating positions have lower anchors and top tether anchors. The second
row center (60/40 bench seat only) and third row seating positions have a top tether anchor
only.
•You may use the LATCH anchorage system
until the combined weight of the child and
the child 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).
•The lower anchorages are round bars
that are found 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 gap between the seatback and
seat cushion.

•There are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located on the
back of the seat. To access them, pull the carpeted floor panel away from the seat back,
this will expose the top tether strap anchorages. DO NOT USE the cargo tie down loops
located on the load floor as tether anchorages.
WARNING!
Do not install a child restraint in the center position using the LATCH system. This
position is not approved for installing child seats using the LATCH attachments. You
must use the seat belt and tether anchor to install a child seat in the center seating
position.
Vehicles With Center Arm Rest Tether
• For rearward facing infant seats secured in the center seat position with the vehicle seat belts, the rear center seat position has an armrest tether that secures the arm rest in the
upward position.
1. To access the center seat arm rest tether, first lower the arm rest. The tether is located behind the armrest and hooked onto the plastic seat backing.
2. Pull down on the tether to unhook it from the plastic seat backing.
3. Raise the armrest and attach the tether hook to the strap located on the front of the arm rest.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The LATCH Lower Anchors
NOTE:
Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child restraints.
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the child seat so that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
2. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages in the selected seating position.

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.
1. To access the top tether strap anchorages behind the rear seat, pull the carpeted floorpanel away from the seat back, this will expose the top tether strap anchorages.
2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.
3. If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the head restraint, and where possible, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the two
posts. If not possible, lower the head restraint and pass the tether strap around the
outboard side of the head restraint.
4. For the center seating position, route the tether strap over the seatback and headrest.
5.
Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage and remove
slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE the cargo tie down loops located on the load floor as tether anchorages.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside the 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-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.
• 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
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.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat, make sure the tether strap does not
slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.

ELECTRONIC SHIFTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a fuel efficient
eight-speed transmission. The Electronic
gear selector is located on the center console.
The transmission gear (PRND) is displayed
both above the shifter control and in the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
• To select a gear range, simply rotate theshifter control.
NOTE:
You must press the brake pedal to shift the
transmission out of PARK or from NEUTRAL
into DRIVE or REVERSE.
• To shift past multiple gear ranges at once (such as PARK to DRIVE), simply rotate
the switch to the appropriate detent.
• Select the DRIVE range for normal driving.
WARNING!
•Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury
or damage.
• Your vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not in PARK. Make sure the transmission is in PARK before leaving the vehicle.
• It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate
quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or
something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and your foot is
firmly pressing the brake pedal.
• Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting
a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK, turn the
engine OFF, and remove the key fob. When the ignition is in the OFF position, the
transmission is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle against unwanted movement.
• When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position remove the key fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.
• 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 transmission gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to children), and do not leave the ignition of 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.

Closing Sunroof
Express Closing
• Press the switch forward and release it within one-half second. The sunroof will fullyclose automatically from any position.
Manual Closing
• Press and hold the switch forward to close the sunroof. Any release of the switch will stop the movement, and the sunroof will remain in a partially closed position until the switch
is pressed again.
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 auto-
matically 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 Pinch Protect reversals, the fourth
close attempt will be a Manual Close movement with Pinch Protect disabled.
WARNING!
• Do not let children play with the sunroof. Never leave children unattended in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle,
and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the
ACC or ON/RUN mode. 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.
