ers could be seriously or fatally
injured. Don't leave the keys in
the ignition. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.

inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.

When the RKE transmitter button is
pressed and the Flash Lights feature
is enabled, the tail lights will flash and
several audible beeps will occur to
signal that the liftgate is opening or
closing.WARNING!
During power operation, personal
injury or cargo damage may occur.
Ensure the liftgate travel path is
clear. Make sure the liftgate is closed
and latched before driving away.
NOTE:
 If anything obstructs the power liftgate while it is closing or
opening, the liftgate will auto-
matically reverse to the closed or open position, provided it meets
sufficient resistance.
 There are also pinch sensors at- tached to the side of the liftgate
opening. Light pressure any-
where along these strips will
cause the liftgate to return to the
open position.
 During power operation, whether liftgate is fully open or
fully closed, the liftgate chime
will beep several times indicat-
ing power operation is in prog-
ress.
 The power liftgate must be in the full open or close positions for
any of the buttons to operate. If
the liftgate is not in the full open
or close positions, it must be
opened or closed manually.
 If the liftgate release button is activated while the power lift-
gate is closing, the liftgate will
reverse to the full open position.
 The power liftgate buttons will not operate if the shift lever is in
gear or the vehicle speed is
above 0 km/h.  The power liftgate will not oper-
ate in temperatures below 24°C
or temperatures above 62°C. Be
sure to remove any buildup of
snow or ice from the liftgate be-
fore pressing any of the power
liftgate buttons.
 If the power liftgate encounters multiple obstructions within the
same cycle, the system will auto-
matically stop and must be
opened or closed manually.
WARNING!
 Driving with the liftgate open canallow poisonous exhaust gases
into your vehicle. 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 pressure drops with temperature,
it may be necessary to assist the props
when opening the liftgate in cold
weather.
OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle are the re-
straint systems:
 Three-point lap and shoulder beltsfor all seating positions
 Advanced Front Air Bags for driver and front passenger
 Supplemental Active Head Re- straints (AHR) located on top of the
front seats (integrated into the head
restraint)
 Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat- able Curtains (SABIC) that span
the front, second, and third row
seating for the driver and passen-
gers seated next to a window
 Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB)
 An energy-absorbing steering col- umn and steering wheel  Knee bolsters/blockers for front
seat occupants (for versions/
markets, where provided)
 Front seat belts incorporate preten- sioners that may enhance occupant
protection by managing occupant
energy during an impact event
 All seat belt systems (except the driver’s) include Automatic Lock-
ing Retractors (ALRs), which lock
the seat belt webbing into position
by extending the belt all the way
out and then adjusting the belt to
the desired length to restrain a child
seat or secure a large item in a seat
If you will be carrying children too
small for adult-sized seat belts, the
seat belts or the ISOFIX feature also
can be used to hold infant and child
restraint systems. For more informa-
tion on ISOFIX, see ISOFIX — Child
Seat Anchorage System.
NOTE:
The Advanced Front Air Bags have
a multistage inflator design. This
allows the air bag to have different
rates of inflation based on several
factors, including the severity and
type of collision. Please pay close attention to the infor-
mation in this section. It tells you how
to use your restraint system properly,
to keep you and your passengers as
safe as possible.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passen-
gers can suffer much greater injuries
if you are not properly buckled up.
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 prop-
erly.
Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips.
Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and cause a collision that in-
cludes 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 ve-
hicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility
of ejection and the risk of injury
