4.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 webbing to retract back
into the retractor.As the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.This means
the seat belt is now in the Automatic Locking mode.
5.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 last step.
6.Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child re-
straint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle
seat.
7.If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether
anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap.
See below for directions to attach a tether anchor.
8.Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child
seat at the belt path.It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direc-
tion.
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 an-
chors or the vehicle seat belt.
Tether Strap Installation
1.Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the
anchor and the child seat.
2.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.

WARNING!
ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect the oc-
cupants.Follow the re-installation instructions above prior to operating the vehicle or
occupying a seat.
SEATS
Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint System of the vehicle.
WARNING!
•It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
•Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.
•Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
Forward/Rearward Adjustment
The adjusting bar is located at the front of the seats, near the floor.
While sitting in the seat, lift up on the bar
and move the seat forward or rearward.
Release the bar once the desired position is
reached.Then, using body pressure, move
forward and rearward on the seat to be
sure that the seat adjusters have latched.

WARNING!
•Adjusting a seat while driving may be dangerous.Moving a seat while driving could
result in loss of control which could cause a collision and serious injury or death.
•Seats should be adjusted before fastening the seat belts and while the vehicle is
parked.Serious injury or death could result from a poorly adjusted seat belt.
Recline Adjustment
The recline adjustment lever is located on the inboard side of the seat.To recline the
seatback, lift up the recline lever, lean back until the desired position has been reached,
and release the lever.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest.In a collision you could slide under the seat belt, which could result
in serious injury or death.

POWER SUNROOF
The power sunroof roof switch is located in the overhead console.
WARNING!
•Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Never leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil-
dren.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 seriously 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.
To Open
Push and hold the power sunroof switch rearward for approximately one second and the
sunroof will stop at the vented position.Push the switch a second time and hold for ap-
proximately one second and release, the sunroof will open fully, then stop automatically.
This is called “Express Open”.During Express Open operation, any movement of the sun-
roof switch will stop the sunroof.

– 12 Volt Charging System Light
This light shows the status of the 12 Volt electrical charging system.If the charging system
light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging
system.
It is recommended that you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

If the light is not on during startup, stays on, or turns on while driving we recommend
you contact the nearest authorized dealer and have the vehicle serviced immediately.

If the light is not on during startup, stays on, or turns on while driving have the vehicle
serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.
– Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, this light will turn on
for four to eight seconds as a bulb check.During the bulb check, if the driver's seat belt
is unbuckled, a chime will sound.After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver or
front passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Indicator Light will flash or
remain on continuously.Refer to “Seat Belt Systems” in “Things To Know Before Starting”
in your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.

This light is used to manage the electrical warning of the EPS (Electric Power Steering
System).When the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN position, the warning light will illu-
minate momentarily.If the warning light stays on, cycle the ignition to the OFF position
and back to ON/RUN.If the warning light stays on, contact your authorized dealer.
If the warning light switches on while driving, you may not have steering assistance.Al-
though it will still be possible to steer the car, the effort needed to operate the steering
wheel could be increased: contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.

tected with the Propulsion System.If the light comes on or remains on while driving, see
your authorized dealer.

EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR).The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deploy-
ment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s sys-
tems performed.The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and
safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data as:
•How various systems in your vehicle were operating.
•Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened.
•How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
•How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data
is recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.
name, gender, age, and crash location) is recorded.However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data
routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the ve-
hicle or the EDR is needed.In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties such as
law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
