tor will disengage to allow manual opera-
tion.
• The power liftgate buttons will not oper-
ate if the vehicle is in gear or the vehicle
speed is above 0 mph (0 km/h).
• The power liftgate will not operate in tem-
peratures below 22°F ( 30°C) or tem-
peratures above 150°F (65°C). Be sure to

put the vehicle in gear, the liftgate will
continue to power close. However, ve-
hicle movement may result in a detection
of an obstruction.
WARNING!
• Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
You and your passengers could be injured
by these fumes. Keep the liftgate closed
when you are operating the vehicle.
• If you are required to drive with the liftgate
open, make sure that all windows are
closed, and the climate control blower
switch is set at high speed. Do not use the
recirculation mode.
Gas props support the liftgate in the open
position. However, because the gas pressure
drops with temperature, it may be necessary to
assist the props when opening the liftgate in
cold weather.
OCCUPANT RESTRAINTSSome of the most important safety features in
your vehicle are the restraint systems:
• Three-point lap and shoulder belts for the
driver and all passengers •
Advanced Front Airbags for driver and front
passenger
• Supplemental Active Head Restraints (AHR)
located on top of the front seats (integrated
into the head restraint)
• Supplemental driver side knee airbag
• Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Cur-
tains (SABIC) for the driver and passengers
seated next to a window — if equipped
• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags
(SAB) — if equipped
• An energy-absorbing steering column and
steering wheel
• Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occu-
pants
• Front seat belts incorporate pretensioners to
enhance occupant protection by managing
occupant energy during an impact event
•
All seat belt systems (except the driver’s)
include Automatic Locking Retractors (ALRs),
which lock the seat belt webbing into position
by extending the belt all the way out and then
28

Pregnant women should wear the lap part of
the belt across the thighs and as snug across
the hips as possible. Keep the belt low so that
it does not come across the abdomen. That
way the strong bones of the hips will take the
force if there is an accident.
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) — Airbags
This vehicle has Advanced Front Airbags for
both the driver and front passenger as a
supplement to the seat belt restraint systems.
The driver’s Advanced Front Airbag is mounted
in the center of the steering wheel. The passen-
ger’s Advanced Front Airbag is mounted in the
instrument panel, above the glove compart-
ment. The words SRS AIRBAG are embossed
on the airbag covers. In addition, the vehicle is
equipped with a driver side knee airbag
mounted in the instrument panel below the
steering column.The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage
inflator design. This allows the airbag to have
different rates of inflation based on the severity
and type of collision.
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental
Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) to pro-
tect the driver, front, and rear passengers sit-
ting next to a window. The SABIC airbags, are
located above the side windows and their
covers are also labeled: SRS AIRBAG.This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental
Seat-Mounted Side Airbags (SAB) to provide
enhanced protection for an occupant during a
side impact. The Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Airbags are located in the outboard side
of the front seats.
NOTE:
•
Airbag covers may not be obvious in the
interior trim; but they will open during
airbag deployment.
• After any accident, the vehicle should be
taken to an authorized dealer immedi-
ately.
Airbag System Components
Your vehicle may be equipped with the follow-
ing airbag system components:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Airbag Warning Light
• Steering Wheel and Column
• Instrument Panel
• Supplemental Driver Side Knee Airbag
• Knee Impact BolsterAdvanced Front Airbag and Knee Bolster
Locations
1 — Driver and Passenger Ad-
vanced Front Airbags 3 — Knee
Bolster
2 — Driver Knee Airbag
37

Along with seat belts and pretensioners, Ad-
vanced Front Airbags work with the driver side
knee airbag and the passenger side knee
bolster to provide improved protection for the
driver and front passenger. Side airbags also
work with seat belts to improve occupant pro-
tection.
Here are some simple steps you can take to
minimize the risk of harm from a deploying
airbag:
Children 12 years old and under should always
ride buckled up in a rear seat.
WARNING!
Infants in rear-facing child restraints should
never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a
passenger Advanced Front Airbag. An airbag
deployment can cause severe injury or death
to infants in that position.
Children that are not big enough to wear the
vehicle seat belt properly (see Section on Child
Restraints) should be secured in the rear seat
in child restraints or belt-positioning booster
seats. Older children who do not use child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats
should ride properly buckled up in the rear
seat. Never allow children to slide the shoulder
belt behind them or under their arm.
You should read the instructions provided with
your child restraint to make sure that you are
using it properly.
All occupants should always wear their lap and
shoulder belts properly.
The driver and front passenger seats should be
moved back as far as practical to allow the
Advanced Front Airbags room to inflate.
Do not lean against the door or window. If your
vehicle has side airbags, and deployment oc-
curs, the side airbags will inflate forcefully into
the space between you and the door.
If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be
modified to accommodate a disabled person,
contact the Customer Center. Phone numbers
are provided under
If You Need Assistance .
WARNING!
• Relying on the airbags 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 airbags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or
instrument panel during Advanced Front
Airbag deployment could cause serious
injury, including death. Airbags need room
to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending
your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
• The Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable
Curtain (SABIC) and Supplemental Seat-
Mounted Side Airbag (SAB) also need
room to inflate. Do not lean against the
door or window. Sit upright in the center of
the seat.
