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 RESTRAINTS
Some 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 Air Bags 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 Air Bag
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur-
tains (SABIC) for the driver and passengers
seated next to a window
• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB) •
An energy-absorbing steering column and
steering wheel
•
Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupant
• Front seat belts incorporate pretensioners
that may enhance occupant protection by
managing occupant energy during an impact
event
• All seat belt systems (except the driver’s and
front passenger) include Automatic Locking
Retractors (ALRs), which lock the seat belt
webbing into position by extending the belt all
the way out and then adjusting the belt to the
desired length to restrain a child seat or
secure a large item in a seat — if equipped
Please pay close attention to the information in
this section. It tells you how to use your restraint
system properly, to keep you and your passen-
gers as safe as possible.
If you will be carrying children too small for
adult-sized seat belts, the seat belts or the ISO-
FIX feature also can be used to hold infant and
child restraint systems. Refer to ISOFIX — Child
Seat Anchorage System for more information.
NOTE:
The Advanced Front Air Bags have a multi-
stage inflator design. This allows the air bag
to have different rates of inflation based on
several factors, including the severity and
type of collision.
Here are some simple steps you can take to
minimize the risk of harm from a deploying air
bag:
1. 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 Air Bag. An air
bag 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.

3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded
webbing. The folded webbing must enter the
slot at the top of the latch plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it
clears the folded webbing.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt
Anchorage
In the front seating positions, the shoulder belt
can be adjusted upward or downward to posi-
tion the belt away from your neck. Press the
release button to release the anchorage, and
then move it up or down to the position that
serves you best.As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you
will prefer a lower position, and if you are taller
than average, you will prefer a higher position.
When you release the button, verify the shoul-
der belt anchorage is latched by pulling down-
ward on the shoulder belt anchorage until it is
locked into position.
NOTE:The adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage
is equipped with an Easy Up feature. This
feature allows the shoulder belt anchorage to
be adjusted in the upward position without
pressing the release button. To verify the
shoulder belt anchorage is latched, pull down-
ward on the shoulder belt anchorage until it is
locked into position.
In the rear seat, move toward the center of the
seat to position the belt away from your neck.
Seat Belts In Passenger Seating
Positions
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions
are equipped with Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALR) which are used to secure a child restraint
system. For additional information, refer to “In-
stalling Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt” under the “Child Restraints” section. The
chart below defines the type of feature for each
seating position.
Driver Center Passen-
ger
First Row N/A N/A N/A Second Row ALR ALR ALR
• N/A — Not Applicable
• ALR — Automatic Locking Retractor
If the passenger seating position is equipped
with an ALR and is being used for normal
usage:
Only pull the 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 ratcheting sound as the
belt retracts. Allow the webbing to retract com-
pletely in this case and then carefully pull out only
the amount of webbing necessary to comfortably
wrap around the occupant’s mid-section. Slide the
latch plate into the buckle until you hear a "click."
Adjusting Upper Shoulder Belt

Automatic Locking Retractor Mode
(ALR) — If Equipped
In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically
pre-locked. The belt will still retract to remove
any slack in the shoulder belt. The Automatic
Locking Mode is available on all rear
passenger-seating positions with a combination
lap/shoulder belt. Use the Automatic Locking
Mode anytime a child safety seat is installed in
a seating position that has a belt with this
feature. Children 12 years old and under should
always be properly restrained in the rear seat.
How To Engage The Automatic Locking
Mode
1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder
belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull down-
ward until the entire belt is extracted.
3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts,
you will hear a clicking sound. This indicates the
safety 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 disengage the
Automatic Locking Mode and activate the ve-
hicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
WARNING!
•
The belt and retractor assembly must be
replaced if the seat belt assembly Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) feature or
any other seat belt function is not working
properly when checked according to the
procedures in the Service Manual.
• Failure to replace the belt and retractor
assembly could increase the risk of injury
in collisions.
Energy Management FeatureThis vehicle has a safety belt system with an
Energy Management feature in the front seating
positions to help further reduce the risk of injury
in the event of a head-on collision. This safety belt system has a retractor assem-
bly that is designed to release webbing in a
controlled manner. This feature is designed to
help reduce the belt force acting on the occu-
pant’s chest.
Seat Belt PretensionersThe seat belts for both front seating positions are
equipped with pretensioning devices that are de-
signed to remove slack from the seat belt in the
event of a collision. These devices may improve
the performance of the seat belt by assuring that
the belt is tight about the occupant early in a
collision. Pretensioners work for all size occu-
pants, 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
positioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC). Like the air bags, the
pretensioners are single use items. A deployed
pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be re-
placed immediately.
