If the air bag system in this vehicle
needs to be modified to accommodate
a disabled person, contact the Cus-
tomer Center.WARNING!
 Relying on the air bags alonecould 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. Al-
ways 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 deploy-
ment could cause serious injury,
including death. Air Bags need
room to inflate. Sit back, comfort-
ably extending your arms to reach
the steering wheel or instrument
panel.
 Side air bags also need room to
inflate. Do not lean against the
door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat. AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT
SENSORS AND CONTROLS
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)
The
ORC is part of a regulated safety
system required for this vehicle.
The ORC determines if deployment of
the front and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor's signals,
a central electronic ORC deploys the
Advanced Front Air Bags, SABIC air
bags, SAB, Supplemental Driver Side
Knee Air Bag, and front seat belt pre-
tensioners, as required, depending on
the severity and type of impact.
Advanced Front Air Bags and Supple-
mental Driver Side Knee Air Bag are
designed to provide additional protec-
tion by supplementing the seat belts
in certain frontal collisions depending
on the severity and type of collision.
Advanced Front Air Bags are not ex-
pected to reduce the risk of injury in
rear, side, or rollover collisions.
The Advanced Front Air Bags and
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air
Bag will not deploy in all frontal col- lisions, including some that may pro-
duce substantial vehicle damage —
for example, some pole collisions,
truck underrides, and angle offset col-
lisions. On the other hand, depending
on the type and location of impact,
Advanced Front Air Bags may deploy
in crashes with little vehicle front-end
damage but that produce a severe ini-
tial deceleration.
The side air bags will not deploy in all
side collisions. Side air bag deploy-
ment will depend on the severity and
type of collision.
Because air bag sensors measure ve-
hicle deceleration over time, vehicle
speed and damage by themselves are
not good indicators of whether or not
an air bag should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your pro-
tection in all collisions, and also are
needed to help keep you in position,
away from an inflating air bag.
The ORC monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the air bag sys-
tem whenever the ignition switch is in
the START or ON/RUN position. If
the key is in the OFF position, in the
37

Driver Side Knee Air Bag gas is vented
through small vent holes in the side of
the air bag.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bag (SAB) Inflator Units
The Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags (SAB) are designed to
activate only in certain side collisions.
The ORC determines if a side collision
requires the side air bags to inflate,
based on several factors, including the
severity and type of collision.
Based on several factors, including
the severity and type of collision, the
side air bag inflator on the crash side
of the vehicle may be triggered, re-
leasing a quantity of non-toxic gas.
The inflating SAB exits through the
seat seam into the space between the
occupant and the door. The SAB fully
inflate in about 10 milliseconds. The
side air bag moves at a very high
speed and with such a high force that
it could injure you if you are not
seated properly, or if items are posi-
tioned in the area where the side air
bag inflates. This especially applies to
children.Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)
Inflator Units
During collisions where the impact is
confined to a particular area of the
side of the vehicle, the ORC may de-
ploy the SABIC air bags, depending
on the severity and type of collision. In
these events, the ORC will deploy the
SABIC only on the impact side of the
vehicle.
A quantity of non-toxic gas is gener-
ated to inflate the side curtain air bag.
The inflating side curtain air bag
pushes the outside edge of the head-
liner out of the way and covers the
window. The air bag inflates in about
30 milliseconds (about one-quarter of
the time that it takes to blink your
eyes) with enough force to injure you
if you are not belted and seated prop-
erly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the side curtain air bag
inflates. This especially applies to
children. The side curtain air bag is
only about 9 cm thick when it is in-
flated.
Because air bag sensors estimate de-
celeration over time, vehicle speedand damage are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sen-
sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact events.Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica-
tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the En-
hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:
 Cut off fuel to the engine.
 Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the igni-
tion key is turned off.
 Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has
power, until the ignition key is re-
moved or the ignition switch is
changed to OFF using the Keyless
Go Start/Stop button.
 Unlock the doors automatically.

hooks for connection to the top tether
anchorages have been available for
some time. For some older child re-
straints, many child restraint manu-
facturers offer add-on tether strap
kits or retrofit kits. You are urged to
take advantage of all the available
attachments provided with your child
restraint in any vehicle.
All three rear-seating positions have
lower anchorages that are capable of
accommodating ISOFIX-compatible
child seats. You should never install
ISOFIX-compatible child seats so that
two seats share a common lower an-
chorage. If installing child seats in
adjacent rear-seating positions, or if
your child restraints are not ISOFIX-
compatible, install the restraints us-
ing the vehicle's seat belts.Installing The ISOFIX-
Compatible Child Restraint
System
We urge you to follow the manufac-
turer's directions carefully when in-
stalling your child restraint. Not all
child restraint systems will be in-
stalled as described here. Again, care-
fully follow the installation instruc-
tions that are provided with the child
restraint system.
The rear seat lower anchor-
ages are round bars located
at the rear of the seat cush-
ion where it meets the seat-
back and are located just below the
button with the anchorage symbol on
the rear seat, but are not visible. You
will easily feel them if you run your
finger along the intersection of the
seatback and seat cushion surfaces.
In addition, there are tether
strap anchorages behind
each rear seating position
located in the panel be-
tween the rear seatback and the rear
window. These tether strap anchor-
ages are under a plastic cover with
this symbol on it. Many, but not all, restraint systems
will be equipped with separate straps
on each side, with each having a hook
or connector for attachment to the
lower anchorage and a means of ad-
justing the tension in the strap.
Forward-facing toddler restraints and
some rear-facing infant restraints will
also be equipped with a tether strap, a
hook for attachment to the tether
strap anchorage and a means of ad-
justing the tension of the strap.
You will first loosen the child seat
adjusters on the lower straps and on
the tether strap so that you can more
easily attach the hooks or connectors
to the vehicle anchorages. Next, at-
tach the lower hooks or connectors
over the top of the seat cover material.
Then, rotate the tether anchorage
cover directly behind the seat where
you are placing the child restraint and
attach the tether strap to the anchor-
age, being careful to route the tether
strap to provide the most direct path
between the anchor and the child re-
straint. Finally, tighten all three
straps as you push the child restraint
rearward and downward into the seat,
ISOFIX Anchorages

removing slack in the straps accord-
ing to the child restraint manufactur-
er's instructions.
For center seating position route the
tether strap over the seatback and
adjustable headrest (with the head-
rest in the full down position) then
attach the hook to the tether anchor
located in the panel between the rear
seatback and the rear window.
WARNING!
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.
NOTE:
 Ensure that the tether strap does not slip into the opening be-
tween the seatbacks as you re-
move slack in the strap.
 When using the ISOFIX attach- ing system to install a child re-
straint, please ensure that all
seat belts not being used for oc-
cupant restraints are stowed and
out of reach of children. It is recommended that before in-
stalling the child restraint,
buckle the seat belt so the seat
belt is tucked behind the child
restraint and out of reach. If the
buckled seat belt interferes with
the child restraint installation,
instead of tucking the seat belt
behind the child restraint, route
the seat belt through the child
restraint belt path and then
buckle it. This should stow the
seat belt out of the reach of an
inquisitive child. Remind all
children in the vehicle that the
seat belts are not toys and
should not be played with, and
never leave your child unat-
tended in the vehicle.
WARNING!
Improper installation of a child re-
straint to the ISOFIX anchorages
can lead to failure of an infant or
child restraint. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow the
manufacturer's directions exactly
when installing an infant or child
restraint.

WARNING!
 Do not leave children or animalsinside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.
 It is extremely dangerous to ride in
a cargo area, inside or outside of a
vehicle. In a collision, people rid-
ing in these areas are more likely
to be seriously 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.
Exhaust GasWARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
They contain carbon monoxide
(CO), which is colorless and odor-
less. Breathing it can make you un-
conscious and can eventually poison
you. To avoid breathing (CO), fol-
low these safety tips: (Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Do not run the engine in a closed
garage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.
 If you are required to drive with
the trunk/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.
 If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into
the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex-
haust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system, when
exhaust fumes can be detected inside
the vehicle, or when the underside or
rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a
competent mechanic inspect the com- plete exhaust system and adjacent
body areas for broken, damaged, de-
teriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the passenger compartment. In
addition, inspect the exhaust system
each time the vehicle is raised for lu-
brication or oil change. Replace as
required.
Safety Checks You Should
Make Inside The Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be re-
placed immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision. Rear seat
belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regard-
ing belt or retractor condition, replace
the belt.

 low-to-medium vehicle speed,
 low road noise,
 smooth road surface,
 fully closed windows,
 dry weather condition.
 Even though the system is designed for users speaking in North Ameri-
can English, French, and Spanish
accents, the system may not always
work for some.  When navigating through an auto-
mated system such as voice mail, or
when sending a page, before speak-
ing the digit string, make sure to
say “Send”.
 Storing names in your favorites phonebook when the vehicle is not
in motion is recommended.
 Phonebook (Mobile and Favorites) name recognition rate is optimized
when the entries are not similar.
 You can say “O” (letter “O”) for “0” (zero).

VOICE COMMAND
Uconnect Touch™ 8.4/8.4
Nav The Uconnect™ Voice
Command system allows
you to control your AM, FM
radio, satellite radio, disc
player, SD Card or USB/iPod. NOTE:
Take care to speak into the Voice
Command system as calmly and
normally as possible. The ability
of the Voice Command system to
recognize user voice commands
may be negatively affected by
rapid speaking or a raised voice
level.
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system
should be used only in safe driving
conditions following local laws. All
attention should be kept on the
roadway ahead. Failure to do so may
result in a collision cau sing serious
injury or death.
When you press the Uconnect™ Voice
Command
button, you will hear
a beep. The beep is your signal to give
a command.
If no command is spoken the system
will say one of two responses:
 I didn't understand
 I didn't get that, etc., If a command is not spoken a second
time, the system will respond with an
error and give some direction as what
can be said based on the context you
are in. After three consecutive failures
of a spoken command the VR session
with end.
Pressing the Uconnect™ Voice Com-
mand
button while the system
is speaking is known as “barging in.”
The system will be interrupted, and
after the beep, you can say a com-
mand. This will become helpful once
you start to learn the options.
NOTE:
At any time, you can say the words
“Cancel” or “Help”.
These commands are universal and
can be used from any menu. All other
commands can be used depending
upon the active application.
When using this system, you should
speak clearly and at a normal speak-
ing volume.
The system will best recognize your
speech if the windows are closed, and
the heater/air conditioning fan is set
to low.

PINCH PROTECT FEATURE
This feature will detect an obstruction
in the opening of the sunroof during
Express Close operation. If an ob-
struction is detected, the sunroof will
automatically retract. Remove the ob-
struction if this occurs. Next, press the
switch forward and release to Express
Close.
NOTE:
If three consecutive sunroof close
attempts result in Pinch Protect
reversals, the fourth close attempt
will be a Manual Close movement
with Pinch Protect disabled.
PINCH PROTECT
OVERRIDE
If a known obstruction (ice, debris,
etc.) prevents closing the sunroof,
press the switch forward and hold for
two seconds after the reversal occurs.
This allows the sunroof to move to-
ward the closed position.
NOTE:
Pinch protection is disabled while
the switch is pressed.VENTING SUNROOF —
EXPRESS
Press and release the “Vent” button,
and the sunroof will open to the vent
position. This is called “Express
Vent”, and will occur regardless of
sunroof position. During Express Vent
operation, any movement of the
switch will stop the sunroof.
SUNSHADE OPERATION
The sunshade can be opened manu-
ally. However, the sunshade will open
automatically as the sunroof opens.
NOTE:
The sunshade cannot be closed if
the sunroof is open.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as
the perception of pressure on the ears
or a helicopter-type sound in the ears.
Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffet-
ing with the windows down, or the
sunroof (for versions/markets, where
provided) is in certain open or par-
tially open positions. This is a normal
occurrence and can be minimized. If
the buffeting occurs with the rear
windows open, open the front andrear windows together to minimize
the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs
with the sunroof open, adjust the sun-
roof opening to minimize the buffet-
ing or open any window.
SUNROOF MAINTENANCE
Use only a nonabrasive cleaner and a
soft cloth to clean the glass panel.
IGNITION OFF OPERATION
For vehicles not equipped with the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC), the power sunroof switch will
remain active for 45 seconds after the
ignition switch is turned to the LOCK
position. Opening either front door
will cancel this feature.
NOTE:
 For vehicles equipped with the
EVIC, the power sunroof switch
will remain active for up to ap-
proximately ten minutes after
the ignition switch is turned to
the LOCK position. Opening ei-
ther front door will cancel this
feature.
 The Ignition Off time is pro- grammable using the Uconnect
