DISCLOSURES
Event Data RecordersThis 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 deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding 
how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typicall\
y
30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such d\
ata as:
•  How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
•  Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fasten\
ed;
•  How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or b\
rake
pedal; and,
•  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 are recorded by your vehicle 
only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under 
normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) are 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 vehicle 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.
The data belong to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by anyone else 
except as legally required or with the permission of the vehicle owner.
Service Diagnostic Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with service-related devices that record information 
about powertrain performance. The data can be used to verify emissions law 
requirements and/or help technicians diagnose and solve service problems. It may 
also be combined with data from other sources for research purposes, but 
it remains confidential.

SAFETYSAFETY
Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, 
odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your ve\
hicle and
follow the instructions set forth below, you will not accumulate dangerous levels 
of carbon monoxide gas in the vehicle interior.
Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever:
•  The exhaust system is making an unusual noise.
• 
The exhaust system may have been damaged.
•  The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
When you operate a vehicle with the tailgate open, airflow can pull ex\
haust gas
into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with the 
tailgate open, open all the windows and set the climate control system a\
s shown
below.
1. Select the fresh air mode.
2. Select the mode.
3. Set the fan speed to high.
4. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.
Adjust the climate control system in the same manner if you sit in your \
parked
vehicle with the engine running.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and 
even kill you.
Avoid
 any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide.
WARNING
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up with carbon monoxide gas. 
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even when the garage door is 
open, drive out of the garage immediately after starting the engine.
Seat Belts
A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags are designed to 
supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is equipped 
with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts and 
wear them properly.
Lap/Shoulder Seat Belts
All seven or eight seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts with 
emergency locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you move freely 
while keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop, the 
retractor locks to restrain your body. The second- and third-row passenger’s seat 
belts also have a lockable retractor for use with child seats.
The front seats are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners to enhance 
safety. The tensioners automatically tighten the front seat belts during a moderate 
to severe frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not seve\
re enough to
inflate the front airbags.
Proper Use of Seat Belts Follow these guidelines for proper use:
• 
All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that 
position for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduces the\

effectiveness of the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a 
crash.
• 
Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or 
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
• Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very 
seriously injured in a crash.
• 
Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improve 
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective 
capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
• Regularly check the condition of your seat belts. Check for frays, cuts, burns, 
and wear, and that the latches work smoothly and the belts retract easily.
• No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt or one that does not 
appear to be working correctly. Using a seat belt that is not working properly 
may not protect the occupant in a crash. Have a dealer check the belt as soon 
as possible.
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of a serious injury or 
death in a crash, even though your vehicle has airbags.
Be
 sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them 
properly.

tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.
NOTICE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly low, 
the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a message
appears on the multi-information display.
What to Do
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire
pressure and adjust the pressure to the specified
