A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS
The authorized dealer that sold you your new
vehicle has the key code numbers for your
vehicle locks. These numbers can be used to
order duplicate RKE Key Fobs. Ask your autho-
rized dealer for these numbers and keep them
in a safe place.

SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents
unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the
engine. The system does not need to be armed
or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless
of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
The system uses ignition RKE Key Fobs, which
have an embedded electronic chip (transpon-
der) to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation.
Only RKE Key Fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle can be used to start and operate the
vehicle. The system will shut the engine off in
two seconds if someone uses an invalid key to
start the engine.
NOTE:
A RKE Key Fob that has not been pro-
grammed is also considered an invalid RKE
Key Fob even if it is cut to fit the ignition
cylinder for that vehicle.
During normal operation, after placing the igni-
tion in the ON/RUN position, the Vehicle Secu-
rity Light will turn on for three seconds for a bulb

Skin oils may cause battery deterioration. If
you touch a battery, clean it with rubbing
alcohol.
3. To assemble the RKE Key Fob case, snap
the two halves together.
NOTE:
If the RKE Key Fob is equipped with a screw,
reinstall and tighten the screw until snug.
REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM
— IF EQUIPPED
This system uses the RKE Key Fob
to start the engine conveniently
from outside the vehicle while still
maintaining security. The system
has a range of approximately 300 ft
(91 m). Obstructions between the
vehicle and RKE Key Fob may reduce this
range.NOTE:
•The vehicle must be equipped with an
automatic transmission to be equipped
with Remote Start.
•Obstructions between the vehicle and the
RKE Key Fob may reduce this range.

WARNING!(Continued)
•When reattaching the mini-latch plate and
mini-buckle, ensure the seat belt webbing
is not twisted. If the webbing is twisted,
follow the preceding procedure to detach
the mini-latch plate and mini-buckle, un-
twist the webbing, and reattach the mini-
latch plate and mini-buckle.
Seat Belts And Pregnant WomenSeat belts must be worn by all occupants includ-
ing 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 shoul-
der belt behind the back or under the arm.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
The front seat belt system is equipped with
pretensioning devices that are designed to re-
move slack from the seat belt in the event of a
collision. These devices may improve the per-
formance of the seat belt by removing slack
from the seat belt early in a collision. Preten-
sioners 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
positioned 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
This vehicle has a seat belt system with an
Energy Management feature in the front seating
positions that may help further reduce the risk of
injury in the event of a collision. This seat belt
system has a retractor assembly that is designed
to release webbing in a controlled manner.
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR)
The seat belts in the passenger seating posi-
tions are equipped with a Switchable Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) which is used to se-
cure 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 table
below defines the type of feature for each
seating position.
Pregnant Women And Seat Belts
34

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 occu-
pant’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 web-
bing to retract completely in this case and then
carefully pull out only the amount of webbing
necessary to comfortably wrap around the oc-
cupant’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 a vehicle with a rear seat.
WARNING!
•Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying Passenger
Advanced 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.
•Only use a rear-facing child restraint in 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 down-
ward 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 Auto-
matic 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 seat belt assembly must be replaced if
the switchable Automatic Locking Retrac-
tor (ALR) feature or any other seat belt
function is not working properly when
checked according to the procedures in
the Service Manual.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Failure to replace the seat belt assembly
could increase the risk of injury in colli-
sions.
•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 restrain-
ing the child.
Supplemental Active Head Restraints
(AHR)
These head restraints are passive, deployable
components, and vehicles with this equipment
cannot be readily identified by any markings,
only through visual inspection of the head re-
straint. The head restraint will be split in two
halves, with the front half being soft foam and
trim, the back half being decorative plastic.How The Active Head Restraints (AHR) Work
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) de-
termines whether the severity, or type of rear
impact will require the Active Head Restraints
(AHR) to deploy. If a rear impact requires de-
ployment, both the driver and front passenger
seat AHRs will be deployed.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the
front half of the head restraint extends forward
to minimize the gap between the back of the
occupant’s head and the AHR. This system is
designed to help prevent or reduce the extent of
injuries to the driver and front passenger in
certain types of rear impacts.
NOTE:
The Active Head Restraints (AHR) may or
may not deploy in the event of a front or side
impact. However if during a front impact, a
secondary rear impact occurs, the AHR may
deploy based on the severity and type of the
impact.
