WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gascontains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause you or others to be severely injured or
killed when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause you and others to be
severely injured or killed.
THEFT ALARM
To Arm:
•Press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the door is open.
To Disarm:
•Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button or turn the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in
the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too
tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of
sliding under the belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your
shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
•
A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could move
too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the
system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been
damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a
collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.

WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not buckled up properly. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others
in your vehicle are buckled up properly.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) —
AIR BAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right frontpassenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced Front
Air Bags will not deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on several
factors, including the severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are
not expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• This vehicle may be equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags to provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact.
•
If the Air Bag Warning Lightis not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while
driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
•Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS).
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air bags 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 air bags.
• 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.
• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean
against the door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could
cause you to be severely injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved
in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.

CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, ifavailable. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seats rather than in the front.
•
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted
for ignoring it.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEAT- CHECK (1–866–732–8243).
•
Canadian residents, should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional infor-
mation http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
•Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren.
• Four-Doormodels: The rear outboard seating positions have lower anchors, and all
three rear seating positions have top tether anchors. Child seats with fixed lower
attachments must be installed in the outboard positions only. Child seats with flexible
lower attachments can be used in all three seating positions.
Never install LATCH-
compatible child seats such that two seats share a common lower anchorage.
• Two-door models can accommodate
flexible LATCH-compatible child seats
in the two outboard seating positions
only. Both rear seating positions have
lower anchors and top tether anchors.
Child seats with fixed or flexible
LATCH-compatible attachments can
be installed in either outboard seating
position.
• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that
you can attach the hook or connector
to the lower and tether anchorages
more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the anchorage bars,
pushing aside the seat cover material.
You will easily feel the anchorage bars
if you run your finger along the inter-
section of the seatback and seat cush-
ion surfaces.

• The tether strap should be attached to the tether anchor on the rear of theseatback using the most direct path. For the outboard seating positions, route the
tether underneath the head rest and attach the hook to the tether anchor located
on the back of the seat.
• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and down-
ward into the seat.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the
retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch
plate into the buckle.
•
Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to
retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion
around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the
belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
•Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure the
top tether strap. The tether strap should be attached to the tether anchor on the rear
of the seatback using the most direct path. For the outboard seating positions, route
the tether underneath the head rest and attach the hook to the tether anchor located
on the back of the seat.

WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectileinside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you
are. The child and others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in
your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to
failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or
killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or
child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the
child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle
with a front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury
or death to infants in this position.
FRONT SEATS

Forward/Rearward
• Lift up on the adjusting bar located atthe front of the seat near the floor
and release it when the seat is at the
desired position. Then, using body
pressure, move forward and backward
on the seat to be sure that the seat
adjusters have latched.
Height Adjustment
• Ratchet the front lever, located on theoutboard side of the seat, upward to
raise the seat height.
• Ratchet the lever downward to lower the seat height.

Driver’s and Passenger Easy Entry Seats (Two-Door)
• Push the lever on the seatback rear-ward (toward the rear of the vehicle) to
tilt the entire seat forward.
•
To return the seat to a sitting position,
rotate the seatback upright until it
locks. Push the seat rearward until the
track locks.
NOTE:
• If equipped with a combination lever, the seatback will return to its first
locked position. The recliner handle
will have to be actuated to adjust the seatback to the desired reclined position.
• The front passenger seats have a track memory which returns the seat to just past the halfway point of the track, regardless of its original position.
• The recliner and easy entry levers should not be used during the automatic returning of the seat to its fully upright position.
WARNING!
• Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden
movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not
be properly adjusted, and you could be severely injured or killed. Only adjust a
seat while the vehicle is parked.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be
severely injured or killed. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.

REAR SEATS
Folding Rear Seat
• Be sure that the front seats are fully upright and positioned forward. This will allowthe rear seat to fold down easily.
To Fold The Rear Seat
• Lift the seatback release lever and fold the seatback forward (two-door models).
• Slowly flip the entire seat (two-doormodels) forward.
• Locate the pull strap, located on the outboard side of the seat, and pull it
toward you until the seatback releases
(four-door models).
To Raise The Rear Seat
• Lift up on the seatback to return it tothe upright position.
WARNING!
• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be severely injured
or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly.
• Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is
not securely locked into position, the seat will not provide the proper stability
for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause you
or others to be severely injured or killed.
