Child restraint systems
Seat and restraint systems 4-27

WA R N I N G Never hold an infant
or child in your arms
or on your lap when ri
ding in this vehicle,
even when you are wearing your seat belt.Never place any part of the seat belt you are wearing around an
infant or child.
Failure to follow these simple instructionscreates a risk of serious injury or death to your child in the even
t of an accident or
sudden stop.
WA R N I N G Your vehicle is also
equipped with a front
passenger’s airbag.Never put REAR-FACING CHILDRESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas- senger seat. This places the infant tooclose to the passenger’s airbag. During deployment of that airbag, the infant can be seriously injured
or killed.
Rear-facing
child restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be used in the rear seat.Airbag
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seatwhenever possible. If one must be used inthe front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward position and make sure the child stays in the child restraint sys-tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death to the child.WA R N I N G It is important to use an approved rear- facing infant restraint until the infant is one year old (unless
the infant outgrows
the seat sooner). This
allows the infant’s
neck and spine to de
velop enough to sup-
port the weight of their head in the eventof an accident.

1. Place the child restraint system on the seat where you wish to install it. To help assure proper fitting of the child restraint system, alwa
ys remove the head
restraint. When installing the front-facing child restraint system on the second row seat,adjust the angle of the second row seat- back to the most upright position. 2. Route the seat belt through the childrestraint system acco
rding to the instruc-
tions provided by the child restraint sys- tem’s manufacturer. Then insert the seatbelt latch plate into
the buckle. Make sure
you hear a “click” when you insert the latch plate into the buckle.
3. To activate the ALR child restraint instal- lation function, slowly pull the shoulderpart of the belt all the way out of the retractor until it stops. Then let the belt feed back into the retractor. 4. After the belt has retracted, tug on it.
If the belt is in the ALR function, you will not be able to pull it out. If the webbingcan be pulled out from retractor, the ALR function has not been activated and you will need to repeat steps 3 and 4.5. After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder part of the belt near the buckle and pull up to remove any slackfrom the lap part of the belt allowing the slack to feed into the retractor. Remember, if the lap belt portion is not tight, the child restraint system
will not be secure. It may
help to put your weight on the childrestraint system and/or push on its seat- back while pulling up on the belt (See illustration).
WA R N I N G When you install a child restraint system using the seat belt, al
ways make sure the
retractor has been switched to the ALRchild restraint installation function. The ALR function will keep the child restraint system tightly secured to the seat.Failure to convert the retractor to the ALR function may allow the child restraint system to move forward duringsudden braking
or an accide
nt, resulting
in serious injury or
death to the child or
other occupants.
Installation
If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap, fasten the tether strap inaccordance with the following procedures.

ing, the warning buzzer
sounds once and the power liftgate opens.
N00576200026
If the auto reverse sensors (A) on either sideof the power liftgate de
tect that something is
being trapped by the cl
osing power liftgate,
the warning buzzer will sound once and the liftgate will automatically reverse directionand return to the full open position.
After the power liftgate has opened automati- cally, if it is detected that the power liftgate is dropping due to factors such as accumulated snow, the power liftgate will close automati-cally.
A warning buzzer w
ill sound continuously
while the drop prevention mechanism is oper-ating. If the engine is started while the power lift- gate is operating, the power liftgate mayintermittently move
or stop moving to pre-
vent the power liftgate from moving abruptly. Approximately 10 seconds after the powerliftgate has fully closed or opened, power lift- gate operation will again resume.
NOTE
 If the close switch is again pressed once while the power liftgate
is operating in the
opening direction, th
e warning buzzer will
sound once and the power liftgate will close.

WA R N I N G The auto reverse mechanism will not oper- ate just before the power liftgate becomesfully closed. Therefore, be careful not totrap a hand, part of your body or an object at this time. When the power liftgate is closed manu- ally, the auto reverse mechanism will not operate.  If the auto reverse mechanism has been repeatedly activated
, the power liftgate
may stop and then, de
pending on its posi-
tion, may abruptly open
or close. Once the
power liftgate is completely closed oropen, automatic operation will be resumed.CAUTION Do not damage the auto reverse sensor, when loading or unloading lugga
ge. If the sensor is
damaged, the power liftgate will not close automatically.

When parking on a hill, set the parking brake, and turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill, or away from
the curb on an uphill.
If necessary, apply chocks to the wheels. Be sure that the parki
ng brake is firmly set
when parked and that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. When parking on a hill, it
is important to set
the parking brake before moving the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. This pre- vents loading the parking brake against thetransaxle. When this ha
ppens, it is difficult to
move the selector lever out of the “P” (PARK) position. Never leave the engine running while you take a short nap or rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly venti- lated place.
Your front bumper can be damaged if you scrape it over curbs or parking stop blocks.Be careful when traveling up or down steep slopes where your bumper can scrape the road. Always remove the key from the ignition switch and lock all doors and the liftgate when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit area.
Move effort could be required to turn the steering wheel.Refer to “Electric power steering system (EPS)” on page 5-88.
N00629900352
It is very important to know how much weight your vehicle can carry. This weight iscalled the vehicle ca
pacity weight and
includes the weight of
all occupants, cargo
(including the roof load), non-factory-installed options, and the tongue weight of the trailer, if any, being towed. The tire and loading information placard located on thedriver’s door sill of
your vehicle will show
how much weight it may properly carry. It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms before
loading your vehicle:
Parking Parking on a hill Parking with the engine run- ning
WA R N I N G Leaving the engine ru
nning risks injury or
death from accidentally moving the selec-tor lever or the accumulation of toxicexhaust fumes in the passenger compart- ment.
Where you park
WA R N I N G Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible materials
such as dry grass or
leaves can come in contact with a hotexhaust, since a fire could occur.
When leaving the vehicle
Do not keep the steering wheel fully turned for a long time Loading information
WA R N I N G Never overload your ve
hicle. Overloading
can damage your vehicle, adversely affectvehicle performance, including handling and braking, cause tire failure, and result in an accident.
