only). Using the liftgate handle, pull the
liftgate open with one fluid motion.
•Although the liftgate has no inside re-
lease mechanism, the liftgate trim panel
includes an opening with a snap-in cap
that provides access to release the latch
in the event of an electrical system mal-
function.
WARNING!
•Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your ve-
hicle. 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 pressuredrops with temperature, it may be necessary to
assist the props when opening the liftgate in
cold weather.
OCCUPANT RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety features in
your vehicle are the restraint systems:
•Seat Belt Systems
•Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) Air
Bags
•Supplemental Active Head Restraints
•Child Restraints
Important Safety PrecautionsPlease 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.
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 vehicle with a
rear seat.
2. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in a
rear-facing child restraint) must ride in the
front passenger seat, move the seat as far
back as possible and use the proper child
restraint. (Refer to “Child Restraints”)
3. Children that are not big enough to wear the
vehicle seat belt properly (Refer to"Child
Restraints"in this section of “Occupant Re-
straints”) should be secured in a vehicle with
Warning Label On Front Passenger Sun Visor
26

a 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 prop-
erly buckled up in a vehicle with a rear seat.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder
belt behind them or under their arm.
5. You should read the instructions provided
with your child restraint to make sure that
you are using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear their lap
and shoulder belts properly.
7. The driver and front passenger seats should
be moved back as far as practical to allow
the Advanced Front Air Bags room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or window. If
your vehicle has side air bags, and deploy-
ment occurs, the side air bags will inflate
forcefully into the space between occupants
and the door and occupants could be in-
jured.9. If the air bag 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!
•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.
Seat Belt SystemsBuckle up even though you are an excellent
driver, even on short trips. Someone on the
road may be a poor driver and could cause a
collision that includes you. This can happen far
away from home or on your own street.Research has shown that seat belts save lives,
and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries
in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat
belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the
risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the
vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be
belted at all times.
Driver And Passenger BeltAlert — If
Equipped
BeltAlert is a feature intended to remind the
driver and outboard front seat passenger (if
equipped with outboard front passenger seat
BeltAlert) to buckle their seat belts. The Belt
Alert feature is active whenever the ignition is
placed in the START or ON/RUN position.
Initial Indication
If the driver is unbuckled when the ignition is
first placed in the START or ON/RUN position,
an intermittent chime will signal for a few sec-
onds. If the driver or outboard front seat pas-
senger (if equipped with outboard front passen-
ger seat BeltAlert) is unbuckled when the
ignition is first placed in the START or ON/RUN
position the Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn
27

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.

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.

Your vehicle may be equipped with the following
air bag system components:
•Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
•Air Bag Warning Light
•Steering Wheel and Column
•Instrument Panel
•Knee Impact Bolsters
•Advanced Front Air Bags

Advanced Front Air Bags
This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for
both the driver and front passenger as a supple-
ment to the seat belt restraint systems. The
driver’s Advanced Front Air Bag is mounted in
the center of the steering wheel. The passen-ger’s Advanced Front Air Bag is mounted in the
instrument panel, above the glove compart-
ment. The words “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG”
are embossed on the air bag covers.
WARNING!
•Being too close to the steering wheel or
instrument panel during Advanced Front
Air Bag deployment could cause serious
injury, including death. Air bags need room
to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending
your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
•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.
Advanced Front Air Bag Features
The Advanced Front Air Bag system has multi-
stage driver and front passenger air bags. This
system provides output appropriate to the se-
verity and type of collision as determined by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), which

Bags fully inflate in less time than it takes to
blink your eyes. The air bags then quickly
deflate while helping to restrain the driver and
front passenger.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the
knees of the driver and front passenger, and
position the front occupants for improved inter-
action with the Advanced Front Air Bags.
WARNING!
•Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee
impact bolsters in any way
•Do not mount any accessories to the knee
impact bolsters such as alarm lights, ste-
reos, citizen band radios, etc.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
Your vehicle is equipped with two types of side
air bags:
1.Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SABs): Located in the outboard
side of the front seats. The SABs aremarked with a “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIR-
BAG” label sewn into the outboard side
of the seats.
The SABs may help to reduce the risk of
occupant injury during certain side impacts
and/or vehicle rollover events, in addition to the
injury reduction potential provided by the seat
belts and body structure.When the SAB deploys, it opens the seam on
the outboard side of the seatback’s trim cover.
The inflating SAB deploys through the seat
seam into the space between the occupant and
the door. The SAB moves at a very high speed
and with such a high force that it could injure
occupants if they are not seated properly, or if
items are positioned in the area where the SAB
inflates. Children are at an even greater risk of
injury from a deploying air bag.WARNING!
Do not use accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the Side Air Bags;
the performance could be adversely affected
and/or objects could be pushed into you,
causing serious injury.
2.Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur-
tains (SABICs): Located above the side
windows. The trim covering the SABICs
is labeled “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG.”
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag
Label

Page 45 of 332
SABICs may help reduce the risk of head or
other injuries to front and rear seat outboard
occupants in certain side impacts and/or vehicle
rollover events, in addition to the injury reduc-
tion potential provided by the seat belts and
body structure.
The SABICs deploy downward, covering the
side windows. An inflating SABIC pushes the
outside edge of the trim out of the way and
covers the window. The SABICs inflate with
enough force to injure occupants if they are notbelted and seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the SABICs inflate.
Children are at an even greater risk of injury
from a deploying air bag.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial
or complete ejection of vehicle occupants
through side windows in certain rollover or side
impact events.
WARNING!
•Your vehicle is equipped with left and right
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur-
tains (SABICs). Do not stack luggage or
other cargo up high enough to block the
deployment of the SABICs. The trim cov-
ering above the side windows where the
SABIC and its deployment path are lo-
cated should remain free from any ob-
structions.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•Your vehicle is equipped with SABICs. In
order for the SABICs to work as intended,
do not install any accessory items in your
vehicle which could alter the roof. Do not
add an aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle.
Do not add roof racks that require perma-
nent attachments (bolts or screws) for in-
stallation on the vehicle roof. Do not drill
into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.
The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are
designed to activate in certain side impacts and
certain rollover events. The Occupant Restraint
Controller (“ORC”) determines whether the de-
ployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular
side impact or rollover event is appropriate,
based on the severity and type of collision.
Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator
of whether or not Side Air Bags should have
deployed.
Side Air Bags are a supplement to the seat belt
restraint system. Side Air Bags deploy in less
time than it takes to blink your eyes. Occupants,
