WARNING!
Never place a rear facing infantseat in front of an air bag. A de-
ploying Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years
or younger, including a child in a
rearward facing infant seat.
Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear
seat.
Older Children And Child
Restraints
Children who are two years old or who
have outgrown their rear-facing con-
vertible child seat can ride forward-
facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing
child seats and convertible child seats
used in the forward-facing direction
are for children who are over two
years old or who have outgrown the
rear-facing weight or height limit of
their rear-facing convertible child
seat. Children should remain in a
forward-facing child seat with a har-
ness for as long as possible, up to the
highest weight or height allowed by
the child seat. All children whose weight or height is
above the forward-facing limit for the
child seat should use a belt-
positioning booster seat until the ve-
hicle’s seat belts fit properly. If the
child cannot sit with knees bent over
the vehicle’s seat cushion while the
child’s back is against the seatback,
they should use a belt-positioning
booster seat. The child and belt-
positioning booster seat are held in
the vehicle by the seat belt.
WARNING!
Improper installation can lead to
failure of an infant or child re-
straint. It could come loose in a
collision. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow
the child restraint manufacturer’s
directions exactly when installing
an infant or child restraint.

WARNING!(Continued)
When your child restraint is notin use, secure it in the vehicle with
the seat belt or ISOFIX anchor-
ages, or remove it from the ve-
hicle. Do not leave it loose in the
vehicle. In a sudden stop or acci-
dent, it could strike the occupants
or seatbacks and cause serious
personal injury.
Children Too Large For Booster
Seats
Children who are large enough to
wear the shoulder belt comfortably,
and whose legs are long enough to
bend over the front of the seat when
their back is against the seatback,
should use the seat belt in a rear seat.
Use this simple 5-step test to decide
whether the child can use the vehicle’s
seat belt alone:
1. Can the child sit all the way back
against the back of the vehicle seat?
2. Do the child’s knees bend comfort-
ably over the front of the vehicle seat –
while they are still sitting all the way
back? 49

Press the “Driver” or “Passenger”
seat soft-key once to select HI-level
ventilation. Press the soft-key a sec-
ond time to select LO-level ventila-
tion. Press the soft-key a third time to
shut off the seat ventilation.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce
the risk of injury by restricting headmovement in the event of a rear im-
pact. Head restraints should be ad-
justed so that the top of the head
restraint is located above the top of
your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occu-
pants must be properly adjusted
prior to operating the vehicle or
occupying a seat. Head restraints
should never be adjusted while the
vehicle is in motion. Driving a ve-
hicle with the head restraints im-
properly adjusted or removed could
cause serious injury or death in the
event of a collision.
Active Head Restraints — Front
Seats
The front driver and passenger seats
are equipped with Active Head Re-
straints (AHR). In the event of a rear
impact the AHRs will automatically
extend forward minimizing the gap
between the back of the occupants
head and the AHR. The AHRs will automatically return
to their normal position following a
rear impact. If the AHRs do not return
to their normal position see your au-
thorized dealer immediately.
To raise the head restraint, pull up-
ward on the head restraint. To lower
the head restraint, press the push but-
ton, located at the base of the head
restraint, and push downward on the
head restraint.
NOTE: The head restraints
should only be removed by quali-
fied technicians, for service pur-
poses only. If either of the head
restraints require removal, see
your authorized dealer.Controls Soft-Key

Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially
aluminum and chrome-plated wheels
should be cleaned regularly with a
mild soap and water to prevent corro-
sion. To remove heavy soil and/or ex-
cessive brake dust, use a nonabrasive,
non-acidic cleaner. Do not use scour-
ing pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or
metal polishes. Do not use oven
cleaner. Avoid automatic car washes
that use acidic solutions or harsh
brushes that may damage the wheels’
protective finish.
Stain Repel Fabric Cleaning
Procedure (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Stain Repel seats may be cleaned in
the following manner:
Remove as much of the stain as possible by blotting with a clean,
dry towel.
Blot any remaining stain with a clean, damp towel. For tough stains, apply a mild soap
solution to a clean, damp cloth and
remove the stain. Use a fresh, damp
towel to remove soap residue.
Do not use any harsh solvents or any other form of protectants on
Stain Repel products.
Interior Care
Interior trim should be cleaned start-
ing with a damp cloth. Do not use
harsh cleaners.
Your leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a
damp soft cloth. Small particles of
dirt can act as an abrasive and dam-
age the leather upholstery and should
be removed promptly with a damp
cloth. Stubborn soils can be removed
easily with a soft cloth and appropri-
ate products. Care should be taken to
avoid soaking your leather upholstery
with any liquid. Please do not use
polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, sol-
vents, detergents, or ammonia-based
cleaners to clean your leather uphol-
stery. Application of a leather condi-
tioner is not required to maintain the
original condition.WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for
cleaning purposes. Many are poten-
tially flammable, and if used in
closed areas they may cause respi-
ratory harm.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights
that are lighter and less susceptible to
stone breakage than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be fol-
lowed.
To minimize the possibility of scratch-
ing the lenses and reducing light out-
put, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To
remove road dirt, wash with a mild
soap solution followed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning compo-
nents, solvents, steel wool or other
aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
