Safety Belt Pretensioners
Your vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for the
driver and right front passenger. Although you
cannot see them, they are part of the safety belt
assembly. They help tighten the safety belts during
the early stages of a moderate to severe frontal
or near frontal crash if the threshold conditions for
pretensioner activation are met. And, if your
vehicle has side impact rollover airbags, safety
belt pretensioners can help tighten the safety belts
in a side crash or a rollover event.
Pretensioners work only once. If they activate in a
crash, you will need to get new ones, and
probably other new parts for your safety belt
system. SeeReplacing Restraint System Parts
After a Crash on page 90.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you,
you should use it.
But if a safety belt is not long enough, your dealer
will order you an extender. When you go in to
order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so
the extender will be long enough for you. To
help avoid personal injury, do not let someone else
use it, and use it only for the seat it is made to
t. The extender has been designed for adults.
Never use it for securing child seats. To wear it,
just attach it to the regular safety belt. For
more information see the instruction sheet that
comes with the extender.

The passenger sensing system will turn off the
right front passenger’s frontal airbag under certain
conditions. The driver’s airbags are not part of
the passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system works with
sensors that are part of the right front passenger’s
seat. The sensors are designed to detect the
presence of a properly-seated occupant and
determine if the passenger’s frontal airbag should
be enabled (may inate) or not.
Accident statistics show that children are safer if
they are restrained in the rear rather than the front
seat. We recommend that child restraints be
secured in a rear seat, including an infant riding in
a rear-facing infant seat, a child riding in a
forward-facing child seat, and an older child riding
in a booster seat.
Your vehicle has a rear seat that will accommodate
a rear-facing child restraint. A label on your sun
visor says, “Never put a rear-facing child seat
in the front.” This is because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys.
{CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the right
front passenger’s airbag inates. This is
because the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to the
inating airbag.
Even though the passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off the
passenger’s frontal airbag if the system
detects a rear-facing child restraint, no
system is fail-safe, and no one can

When the System Does Not Seem to Work
Properly
The light may ash red when the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R), if the ultrasonic sensors are not
kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear bumper
free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush. Other
conditions that may affect system performance
include things like the vibrations from a jackhammer
or the compression of air brakes on a very large
truck. If after cleaning the rear bumper and then
driving forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h), the
display continues to ash red, see your dealer.
If a trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a
bicycle or an object was on the back of, or hanging
out of your liftgate during your last drive cycle,
the light may also ash red. The light will continue
to ash whenever in REVERSE (R) until your
vehicle is driven forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h)
without any obstructions behind the vehicle.
For cleaning instructions, seeWashing Your
Vehicle on page 447.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
The accessory power outlets can be used to plug
in electrical equipment such as a cellular
telephone, CB radio, etc.
The vehicle has one outlet in front of the center
console on the instrument panel and one in
the rear compartment. Your vehicle may have
one or two outlets in the rear of the center console.
There is a small cap that must be removed to
access the accessory power outlet. When
not using the outlet be sure to cover it with the
protective cap.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment plugged
in for an extended period of time while the
vehicle is off will drain the battery. Power is
always supplied to the outlets. Always unplug
electrical equipment when not in use and
do not plug in equipment that exceeds
the maximum 20 ampere rating.

Climate Controls
Dual Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating,
cooling, defrosting, and ventilation for the vehicle.
Automatic Operation
The climate control system automatically adjusts
the air temperature, air delivery mode, fan
speed, and air conditioning for best comfort in the
vehicle.To activate the automatic system:
AUTO (Automatic Mode):
1. Turn the fan and mode controls to the AUTO
position. This also sets the recirculation mode
to automatic operation on the display.
2. Press the up or down arrows to adjust the
temperature to a comfortable setting between
70°F (21°C) and 80°F (27°C).
3. Allow the system time to stabilize. This might
take several minutes in very hot or cold
weather. Then adjust the temperature, as
needed for best comfort.
Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature
setting will not cause the system to heat or cool
any faster. In cold weather, the system starts at
reduced fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air
into the vehicle until warmer air is available.
The automatic system starts out blowing air at
the oor, but changes modes automatically as
the vehicle warms up to maintain the chosen
temperature setting.
The length of time needed to warm the interior
depends on the outside temperature and
the amount of time that has passed since the
vehicle was last driven.
Dual Climate Control System
189

?(Recirculation):This mode recirculates air
inside the vehicle and keeps outside air from
coming into the vehicle. It can be used to help cool
the vehicle more quickly or to prevent odors
from entering the vehicle.
Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode.
It is also cancelled when oor or defog mode
is selected. In some conditions using recirculation
for long periods of time can cause the air inside
the vehicle to become too dry or stuffy. To prevent
this from happening, after the air in the vehicle
has cooled, select auto air inlet or outside air.
:(Outside Air):This mode pulls fresh air from
outside the vehicle. Outside air is always
selected in defrost mode to prevent fogging.
Air Conditioning
#
(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning on or off, and override the
automatic system. When selecting the AUTO fan
or AUTO mode, the air conditioning compressor
comes on automatically, as necessary.The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you might notice water dripping
underneath the vehicle while idling or after turning
off the engine. This is normal.
Sensors
There is a solar sensor located on top of the
instrument panel, near the windshield.
192

There is also an interior temperature sensor
located below the climate control system next to
the steering wheel.
There is also an ambient sensor located behind
the grille in front of the vehicle.
These sensors help the climate control system
automatically control the temperature setting. The
system can supply cooler air to the side of the
vehicle facing the sun. The recirculation mode will
also be used as needed to maintain cool outlet
temperatures.
Do not cover any of the sensors or the climate
control system might not work properly.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window
glass. This can be minimized if the climate
control system is used properly. There are
two modes to clear fog from the windshield.
W(Floor/Defog):Use this mode to clear the
windows of fog and warm the passengers.
The system turns off recirculation and runs the air
conditioning compressor unless the outside
temperature is at or below freezing. If recirculation
mode is selected while using the defog mode,
the system recirculates air initially but returns to
the fresh air mode after 10 minutes.
0(Defrost):Use this mode to remove fog or
frost from the windshield more quickly. When
selected, the system turns off recirculation
and runs the air conditioning compressor, unless
the outside temperature is at or below freezing.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are
clear.
