WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not
properly buckled up. 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.
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

PLAYING iPod®/USB/MP3 DEVICES
• There are many ways to play music from iPod®/MP3 players or USB devices through yourvehicles sound system.
Audio Jack (AUX)
• The Audio Jack, located in the center console, allows a portable device, such as an MP3player or an iPod®, to be plugged into the radio and utilize the vehicles sound system,
using a 3.5 mm audio cable, to amplify the source and play through the vehicle speakers.
• Touching the “Player” soft-key then choose AUX source will change the mode to auxiliary device if the Audio Jack is connected, allowing the music from your portable device to be
heard through the vehicles speakers.
• The functions of the portable device are controlled using the device buttons. The volume may be controlled using the radio or portable device.
• To route the audio cable out of the center console, use the access cut out in the front of the console.
USB Port
• Connect your iPod® or compatible device using a USB cable into the USB Port. The USBPort is contained within the center console. USB Memory sticks with audio files can also
be used. Then, audio from the device can be played on the vehicles sound system while
providing metadata (artist, track title, album, etc.) information on the radio display.
• When connected, the iPod®/compatible USB device can be controlled using the radio or Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip to the next or previous track, browse, and list
the contents.
• The iPod® battery charges when plugged into the USB port (if supported by the specific device).
• To route the USB/iPod® cable out of the center console, use the access cut out in the front of the console.
NOTE:
• When connecting your iPod® device for the first time, the system may take several minutes to read your music, depending on the number of files. For example, the system
will take approximately five minutes for every 1000 songs loaded on the device. Also
during the reading process, the Shuffle and Browse functions will be disabled. This
process is needed to ensure the full use of your iPod® features and only happens the first
time it is connected. After the first time, the reading process of your iPod® will take
considerably less time unless changes are made or new songs are added to the playlist.
• The USB port supports certain Mini, Classic, Nano, Touch, and iPhone® devices. The USB port also supports playing music from compatible external USB Mass Storage Class
memory devices. Some iPod® software versions may not fully support the USB port
features. Please visit Apple’s website for iPod® software updates.
