Child-Protection Door Lock System —
Rear Doors
To provide a safer environment for small chil-
dren riding in the rear seats, the rear doors
are equipped with a Child-Protection Door
Lock system.

To use the system, open each rear door, use a
flat blade screwdriver (or emergency key) and
rotate the dial to the lock or unlock position.

Child-Protection Door Lock Function
NOTE:

When the child lock system is engaged, the
door can be opened only by using the outside
door handle even though the inside door lock
is in the unlocked position.

After engaging or disengaging the
Child-Protection Door Lock system, always
test the door from the inside to make
certain it is in the desired position.
For emergency exit with the system
engaged, rotate the door lock button until
the lock indicator is hidden (unlocked
position), roll down the window, and open
the door with the outside door handle.
NOTE:
Always use this device when carrying chil -
dren. After engaging the child lock on both
rear doors, check for effective engagement
by trying to open a door with the internal
handle. Once the Child-Protection Door Lock
system is engaged, it is impossible to open
the doors from inside the vehicle. Before
getting out of the car, be sure to check that
there is no one left inside.
SEATS
Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint
System of the vehicle.
WARNING!
Avoid trapping anyone in a vehicle in a
collision. Remember that the rear doors
can only be opened from the outside when
the Child-Protection locks are engaged
(locked).
WARNING!
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a colli -
sion, 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.

There are single window controls on each
passenger door trim panel, which operate the
passenger door windows. The window
controls will operate only when the ignition is
in the ACC or ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with Uconnect
systems, the power window switches will
remain active for up to 10 minutes after the
ignition is placed in the OFF position.
Opening either front door will cancel this
feature. The time is programmable. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.Auto-Up Feature With Anti-Pinch
Protection

If the window runs into any obstacle
during auto-closure, it will reverse direc-
tion and then go back down. Remove the
obstacle and use the window switch again
to close the window.
Any impact due to rough road conditions
may trigger the auto-reverse function
unexpectedly during auto-closure. If this
happens, pull the switch lightly and hold

POWER SUNROOF WITH
POWER SHADE — IF
EQUIPPED
The power sunroof switches are located to
the left between the sun visors on the over-
head console.
Power Sunroof Switches
The power shade switches are located to the
right between the sun visors on the overhead
console. Power Shade Switches
Opening Sunroof
The sunroof has two programmed open posi
-
tions, comfort stop position and full open
position. The comfort stop position is set to
minimize wind buffeting when driving with
side windows closed and sunroof open. If the
sunshade is in the closed position when initi -
ating a sunroof open or vent command, the
sunshade will automatically open to the half
open position prior to the sunroof opening.
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, or with access to an unlocked
vehicle. Never leave the key fob in or
near the vehicle, or in a location acces-
sible to children. Do not leave the igni -
tion of a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. Occupants, particularly unat -
tended 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 passen -
gers are also 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.

Seat Belts And Pregnant Women
Seat Belts And Pregnant Women
Seat belts must be worn by all occupants
including pregnant women: the risk of injury
in the event of an accident is reduced for the
mother and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt.
Position the lap belt snug and low below the
abdomen and across the strong bones of the
hips. Place the shoulder belt across the
chest and away from the neck. Never place
the shoulder belt behind the back or under
the arm.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
The front and second row outboard seat belt
systems are equipped with pretensioning
devices that are designed to remove slack
from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
These devices may improve the performance
of the seat belt by removing slack from the
seat belt early in a collision. Pretensioners
work for all size occupants, including those
in child restraints.
NOTE:
These devices are not a substitute for proper
seat belt placement by the occupant. The
seat belt still must be worn snugly and posi -
tioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the Occu -
pant Restraint Controller (ORC). Like the air
bags, the pretensioners are single use items.
A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air
bag must be replaced immediately.
Energy Management Feature
The front and second row outboard seat belt
systems are equipped with an Energy
Management feature that may help further
reduce the risk of injury in the event of a
collision. The seat belt system has a retractor
assembly that is designed to release webbing
in a controlled manner.
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALR) — If Equipped
The seat belts in the passenger seating posi -
tions may be equipped with a Switchable
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) which is
used to secure a child restraint system. For
additional information, refer to “Installing
Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat
Belt” under the “Child Restraints” section of
this manual. The figure below illustrates the
locking feature for each seating position.

(Continued)
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) Locations — Sliding and Fixed Seats
If the passenger seating position is equipped
with an ALR and is being used for normal
usage, only pull the seat belt webbing out far
enough to comfortably wrap around the
occupant’s mid-section so as to not activate
the ALR. If the ALR is activated, you will
hear a clicking sound as the seat belt
retracts. Allow the webbing to retract
completely in this case and then carefully
pull out only the amount of webbing neces -
sary to comfortably wrap around the occu -
pant’s mid-section. Slide the latch plate into
the buckle until you hear a "click." In Automatic Locking Mode, the shoulder
belt is automatically pre-locked. The seat
belt will still retract to remove any slack in
the shoulder belt. Use the Automatic
Locking Mode anytime a child restraint is
installed in a seating position that has a seat
belt with this feature. Children 12 years old
and under should always be properly
restrained in the rear seat of a vehicle with a
rear seat.
How To Engage The Automatic Locking Mode
1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder
belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire seat belt is
extracted.
3. Allow the seat belt to retract. As the seat belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the seat belt is now
in the Automatic Locking Mode.
How To Disengage The Automatic Locking
Mode
Unbuckle the combination lap/shoulder belt
and allow it to retract completely to disen -
gage the Automatic Locking Mode and acti -
vate the vehicle sensitive (emergency)
locking mode.
WARNING!
NEVER use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can
occur.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint
in the front seat of a vehicle. Only use a
rear-facing child restraint in the rear
seat. If the vehicle does not have a rear
seat, do not transport a rear-facing child
restraint in that vehicle.
A deploying passenger front air bag can
cause death or serious injury to a child
12 years or younger, including a child in
a rear-facing child restraint.
WARNING!
The seat belt assembly must be replaced
if the switchable Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) feature or any other seat
belt function is not working properly
when checked according to the
procedures in the Service Manual.

Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS)
Some of the safety features described in this
section may be standard equipment on some
models, or may be optional equipment on
others. If you are not sure, ask an authorized
dealer.
The air bag system must be ready to protect
you in a collision. The Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) monitors the internal
circuits and interconnecting wiring associ-
ated with the electrical Air Bag System
Components. Your vehicle may be equipped
with the following Air Bag System Compo -
nents:
Air Bag System Components
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
Air Bag Warning Light
Steering Wheel and Column
Instrument Panel
Knee Impact Bolsters
Driver and Front Passenger Air Bags
Seat Belt Buckle Switch
Supplemental Side Air Bags
Supplemental Knee Air Bags
Front and Side Impact Sensors
Seat Belt Pretensioners
Seat Track Position Sensors
Air Bag Warning Light
The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) monitors the readiness of the
electronic parts of the air bag
system whenever the ignition
switch is in the START or ON/RUN position.
If the ignition switch is in the OFF position or
in the ACC position, the air bag system is not
on and the air bags will not inflate. The ORC contains a backup power supply
system that may deploy the air bag system
even if the battery loses power or it becomes
disconnected prior to deployment.
The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light
in the instrument panel for approximately
four to eight seconds for a self-check when
the ignition switch is first in the ON/RUN
position. After the self-check, the Air Bag
Warning Light will turn off. If the ORC
detects a malfunction in any part of the
system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning
Light, either momentarily or continuously. A
single chime will sound to alert you if the
light comes on again after initial startup.
The ORC also includes diagnostics that will
illuminate the instrument panel Air Bag
Warning Light if a malfunction is detected
that could affect the air bag system. The
diagnostics also record the nature of the
malfunction. While the air bag system is
designed to be maintenance free, if any of
the following occurs, have an authorized
dealer service the air bag system
immediately.
Failure to replace the seat belt assembly
could increase the risk of injury in
collisions.
Do not use the Automatic Locking Mode
to restrain occupants who are wearing
the seat belt or children who are using
booster seats. The locked mode is only
used to install rear-facing or
forward-facing child restraints that have
a harness for restraining the child.
