GENERAL INFORMATIONTransmitter and receivers operate on a
carrier frequency of 433.92 MHz as
required by EEC regulations. These
devices must be certified to conform to
specific regulations in each individual
country. Two sets of regulations are
involved: ETS (European Telecommu-
nication Standard) 300–220, which
most countries use, and German BZT
federal regulation 225Z125, which
is based on ETC 300–220 but has
additional unique requirements. Other
defined requirements are noted in
ANNEX VI of COMMISSION DIREC-
TIVE 95/56/EC. Operation is subject
to the following conditions: This device may not cause harmfulinterference.
This device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.If your RKE transmitter fails to oper-
ate from a normal distance, check for
these two conditions:
1. A weak battery in the RKE trans-
mitter. The expected life of the battery
is a minimum of three years. 2. Closeness to a radio transmitter
such as a radio station tower, airport
transmitter, and some mobile or CB
radios.
DOOR LOCKS
MANUAL DOOR LOCKS
To lock each door, push the door lock
knob on each door trim panel down-
ward. To unlock the front doors, pull
the inside door handle to the first de-
tent. To unlock the rear doors, pull the
door lock knob on the door trim panel
upward.
If the door lock knob is down when
you shut the door, the door will lock.
Therefore, make sure the Key Fob is
not inside the vehicle before closing
the door.
WARNING!
 For personal security and safety
in the event of an accident, lock
the vehicle doors before you drive
as well as when you park and
leave the vehicle.
 When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle.
 Allowing children to be in a ve- hicle unattended is dangerous for
a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fa-
tally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
 Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, and do not leave Key-
less Enter-N-Go in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.

POWER DOOR LOCKS
A power door lock switch is on each
front door trim panel. Use this switch
to lock or unlock the doors.
The doors can also be locked and un-
locked with the Keyless Enter-N-Go
(Passive Entry) system. For further
information, refer to “Keyless Enter-
N-Go” in “Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle”.
If you press the power door lock
switch while the ignition is in the ACC
or ON/RUN position, and any front
door is open, the power locks will not
operate. This prevents you from acci-
dentally locking the Key Fob in the
vehicle. Cycling the ignition to theOFF position or closing the door will
allow the locks to operate. If a door is
open, and the ignition is in the ACC or
ON/RUN position, a chime will sound
as a reminder to remove the Key Fob.
Automatic Door Locks
When enabled, the door locks will
lock automatically when the vehicle's
speed exceeds 24 km/h. The auto
door lock feature can be enabled or
disabled by your authorized dealer
per written request of the customer.
Please see your authorized dealer for
service.
Automatic Unlock Doors On Exit
The doors will unlock automatically
on vehicles with power door locks if:
1. The Automatic Unlock Doors On
Exit feature is enabled.
2. The transmission was in gear and
the vehicle speed returned to 0 km/h.
3. The transmission is in NEUTRAL
or PARK.
4. The driver door is opened.
5. The doors were not previously un-
locked.
6. The vehicle speed is 0 km/h.
Automatic Unlock Doors On Exit

To Engage Or Disengage The
Child-Protection Door Lock
System
1. Open the rear door.
2. Insert the tip of the emergency key
into the lock and rotate to the LOCK
or UNLOCK position.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the oppo-
site rear door.WARNING!Avoid trapping anyone in a vehicle in
a collision. Remember that the rear
doors can only be opened from the
outside when the Child-Protection
locks are engaged (locked).
NOTE: For emergency exit from
the rear seats when the Child-
Protection Door Lock System is
engaged, manually raise the door
lock knob to the unlocked posi-
tion, roll down the window, and
open the door using the outside
door handle.KEYLESS ENTER­N­GO™The Passive Entry system is an en-
hancement to the vehicle’s Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) system and a
feature of Keyless Enter­N­Go™.
This feature allows you to lock and
unlock the vehicle’s door(s) without
having to press the RKE transmitter
lock or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
 Passive Entry may be pro-grammed ON/OFF; refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further infor-
mation.
If wearing gloves on your hands,
or if it has been raining on the
Passive Entry door handle, the unlock sensitivity can be affected,
resulting in a slower response
time.
 If the vehicle is unlocked by
the RKE transmitter or Passive
Entry and no door goes ajar
within 60 seconds, the vehicle
will re-lock and will arm the
theft alarm.
To Unlock From The Driver's Side:
With a valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitter within 1.5 m of the driv-
er's door handle, grab the front driver
door handle to unlock the driver's
door automatically. The interior door

NOTE: For vehicles equipped
with the Uconnect Touch™, the
power window switches will re-
main active for up to 10 minutes
after the ignition is cycled to the
OFF position. Opening either front
door will cancel this feature. The
time is programmable. Refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.WARNING!
Never leave children in a vehicle
with the Key Fob. Occupants, par-
ticularly unattended children, can
become entrapped by the windows
while operating the power window
switches. Such entrapment may re-
sult in serious injury or death.
AUTO-Down FeatureThe driver door power window switch
and some model passenger door power
window switches have an AUTO-down
feature. Press the window switch to the
second detent, release, and the window
will go down automatically.
To open the window part way, press
the window switch to the first detent
and release it when you want the
window to stop.
To stop the window from going all the
way down during the AUTO-down
operation, pull up on the switch
briefly.
AUTO-Up Feature With
Anti-Pinch Protection
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Lift the window switch to the second
detent, release, and the window will
go up automatically.
To stop the window from going all the
way up during the AUTO-up opera-
tion, push down on the switch briefly.
To close the window part way, lift the
window switch to the first detent and
release it when you want the window
to stop. NOTE:

If the window runs into any ob-
stacle during auto-closure, it will
reverse direction and then go
back down. Remove the obstacle
and use the window switch again
to close the window. Any impact due to rough road
conditions may trigger the auto-
reverse function unexpectedly
during auto-closure. If this hap-
pens, pull the switch lightly to
the first detent and hold to close
the window manually.WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection
when the window is almost closed.
Be sure to clear all objects from the

to be reset. To reset Auto Up:
1.
Pull the window switch up to close
the window completely and continue
to hold the switch up for an additional
two seconds after the window is closed.
2. Push the window switch down
firmly to the second detent to open the
window completely and continue to
hold the switch down for an addi-
tional two seconds after the window is
fully open.
Window Lockout Switch
The window lockout switch on the
driver's door trim panel allows you to
disable the window controls on the
rear passenger doors and the rear sun-
screen (for versions/markets, where
provided). To disable the window
controls and the rear sunscreen, press
and release the window lockout but-
ton (setting it in the DOWN position).
To enable the window controls and
the rear sunscreen, press and release
the window lockout button again (set-
ting it in the UP position). 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 buffeting
with the windows down, or the sunroof
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) in certain open or partially open
positions. This is a normal occurrence
and can be minimized. If the buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open,
then open the front and rear windows
together to minimize the buffeting. If
the buffeting occurs with the sunroof
open, then adjust the sunroof opening
to minimize the buffeting.
TRUNK LOCK AND
RELEASE
The trunk lid can be released from
inside the vehicle by pressing the
TRUNK RELEASE button located on
the instrument panel to the left of the

With the ignition in the ON/RUN po-
sition, the Trunk Open symbol will
display in the instrument cluster indi-
cating that the trunk is open. The
odometer display will reappear once
the trunk is closed.
With the ignition in the OFF position,
the Trunk Open symbol will display
until the trunk is closed.
Refer to “Keyless Enter­N­Go™” in
“Things To Know Before Starting
Your Vehicle” for more information
on trunk operation with the Passive
Entry feature.
TRUNK SAFETY
WARNINGWARNING!Do not allow children to have access
to the trunk, either by climbing into
the trunk from outside, or through
the inside of the vehicle. Always
close the trunk lid when your vehicle
is unattended. Once in the trunk,
young children may not be able to
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)escape, even if they entered through
the rear seat. If trapped in the trunk,
children can die from suffocation or
heat stroke.TRUNK EMERGENCY
RELEASE
As a security measure, a trunk inter-
nal emergency release lever is built
into the trunk latching mechanism. In
the event of an individual being
locked inside the trunk, the trunk can
be simply opened by pulling on the
glow-in-the-dark handle attached to
the trunk latching mechanism. OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Some of the most important safety fea-
tures 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 Driver Side Knee Air Bag
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat-
able Curtains (SABIC) for the driver
and passengers seated next to a
window Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
 An energy-absorbing steering col- umn and steering wheel
 Active Hood System
 Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants
 Front seat belts incorporate preten- sioners that may enhance occupant
protection by managing occupant
energy during an impact event

WARNING!
The belt and retractor assembly
must be replaced if the seat belt
assembly Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (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 andretractor assembly could increase
the risk of injury in collisions.
SEAT BELT
PRETENSIONERS
The seat belts for both front seating
positions are equipped with preten-
sioning devices that are designed 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 colli-
sion. Pretensioners work for all size
occupants, including those in child
restraints. NOTE:
These devices are not a
substitute for proper seat belt place-
ment by the occupant. The seat belt
still must be worn snugly and posi-
tioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
Like the air bags, the pretensioners are
single use items. A deployed preten-
sioner or a deployed air bag must be
replaced immediately.ACTIVE HOOD SYSTEM
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Active Hood system is intended to
enhance pedestrian protection by ele-
vating the vehicle’s hood upon an im-
pact with a pedestrian or other object.
The system is automatically activated
when the vehicle is moving within a
specified vehicle speed range. In order
to detect a range of pedestrians, other
objects that are impacted may result
in an Active Hood deployment. Deployment Sensors And Controls
The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) determines if deployment of
the actuators in a frontal impact is
required. Based on the impact sensors
signals, the ORC determines when to
deploy the actuators. The impact
sensors are located within the front
bumper area.
The ORC monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the Active Hood
system whenever the ignition switch is
in the START or ON/RUN position.
If the key is in the LOCK position, in
the ACC position, or not in the igni-
tion, the Active Hood system is not on
and the Active Hood will not deploy.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the
actuators even if the battery loses
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.

The SAB fully inflate in about 10 milli-
seconds. 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
positioned in the area where the side
air bag inflates. This especially ap-
plies 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 youif 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 speed
and damage are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
NOTE: In a rollover the preten-
sioners and/or SAB and SABIC air
bags may deploy on both sides of
the vehicle.
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 willdetermine 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 is cycled off.

Turn on the interior lights, which
remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is
removed. Unlock the doors automatically.
In order to reset the Enhanced Acci-
dent Response System functions after
an event, the ignition switch must be
changed from IGN ON to IGN OFF.
If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are
designed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
NOTE:
Front and/or side air bags
will not deploy in all collisions.
This does not mean something is
wrong with the air bag system.

Infants And Child Restraints
Safety experts recommend that children
ride rearward-facing in the vehicle until
they are two years old or until they
reach either the height or weight limit of
their rear facing child safety seat. Two
types of child restraints can be used
rearward-facing: infant carriers and
convertible child seats.The infant carrier is only used
rearward-facing in the vehicle. It is
recommended for children from birth
until they reach the weight or height
limit of the infant carrier. Convertible child seats can be used either
rearward-facing or forward-facing in
the vehicle. Convertible child seats
often have a higher weight limit in the
rearward-facing direction than infant
carriers do, so they can be used
rearward-facing by children who have
outgrown their infant carrier but are
still less than at least two years old.
Children should remain rearward-
facing until they reach the highest
weight or height allowed by their con-
vertible child seat. Both types of child
restraints are held in the vehicle by the
lap/shoulder belt or the ISOFIX child
restraint anchor system. Refer to
“ISOFIX — Child Seat Anchorage
System”.
