Accessory delay
With accessory delay, the window switches, audio system and moon roof
may be used for up to ten minutes after the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position or until any door is opened.
MIRRORS
Automatic dimming rear view mirrors (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an inside rear view mirror with an
auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirror will change from
the normal state to the non-glare state when bright lights (glare) reach
the inside rear view mirror. When the inside rear view mirror detects
bright light from in front of or behind the vehicle, the inside rear view
mirror will automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare.
Do not block the sensor on the backside of the inside rear view mirror
since this may impair proper system performance.
Press the control to turn the mirror
OFF or AUTO.
The mirror will automatically return
to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R
(Reverse)(when the mirror is on) to ensure a bright clear view when
backing up.
Power side view mirrors
The ignition can be in any position to adjust the power side view mirrors.
To adjust your mirrors:
1. Select
to adjust the left
mirror or
to adjust the right
mirror.
2. Move the control in the direction
you wish to tilt the mirror.
3. Return to the center position to
disable adjust function.

Push the top of the control button
to return the seatback to its original
position.
The power folding seats are designed to stall within 1–10 seconds
of encountering an obstruction when opening or closing. Should
this occur, remove the obstruction and wait approximately 1–4
minutes for the seat motor to reset.
The power fold down seats will operate for 30 minutes after the
ignition switch is in Off. The transmission must be in P (park),
and the liftgate, or liftgate glass must be open. Similar to the
Battery Saver feature, the power 3rd row seat will be disabled 30
minutes after turning the vehicle off. If the power 3rd row seat is
disabled after 30 minutes, the seat can be enabled by opening any
door, pressing the unlock key on the key fob, pressing any keyless
keypad button, or turning the ignition key.
SAFETY RESTRAINTS
Personal Safety System
The Personal Safety System provides an improved overall level of frontal
crash protection to front seat occupants and is designed to help further
reduce the risk of air bag-related injuries. The system is able to analyze
different occupant conditions and crash severity before activating the
appropriate safety devices to help better protect a range of occupants in
a variety of frontal crash situations.
Your vehicle’s Personal Safety System consists of:
•Driver and passenger dual-stage air bag supplemental restraints.
•Front safety belts with pretensioners, energy management retractors,
and safety belt usage sensors.
•Driver’s seat position sensor.
•Front crash severity sensor.
•Restraints Control Module (RCM).

How does the Safety Canopysystem work?
The design and development of the
Safety Canopy
system included
recommended testing procedures
that were developed by a group of
automotive safety experts known as
the Side Air Bag Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing
procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of
side airbags (including the Safety
Canopy
).
The Safety Canopy
system
consists of the following:
•An inflatable nylon curtain with a
gas generator concealed behind
the headliner and above the doors
(one on each side of vehicle).
•A headliner designed to flex open
above the side doors to allow Safety Canopy
deployment.
•The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used
for the front airbags.
•Two crash sensors mounted in the front doors (one on each side).
•Two crash sensors located at the c-pillar behind the rear doors (one
on each side).
•Rollover sensor in the restraints control module (RCM).
The Safety Canopy
system, in combination with seat belts, can help
reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a significant side impact
collision or rollover event.
Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in
the second or third row seats. The Safety Canopy
will not interfere
with children restrained using a properly installed child or booster seat
because it is designed to inflate downward from the headliner above the
doors along the side window opening.
The Safety Canopy
system is designed to activate when the vehicle
sustains lateral deceleration sufficient to cause the side crash sensor to
close an electrical circuit that initiates Safety Canopy
inflation or when
a certain likelihood of a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor.
