Do not stow objects in seat back map pocket (if equipped) or
hang objects off seat back if a child is in the front passenger seat.
Do not place objects underneath the front passenger seat or between
the seat and the center console (if equipped).
Check the “passenger airbag off” or “pass airbag off” indicator lamp for
proper airbag Status.
Failure to follow these instructions may interfere with the front
passenger seat sensing system.
In case there is a problem with the
front passenger sensing system, the
airbag readiness lamp in the
instrument cluster will stay lit.
If the airbag readiness lamp is lit, do the following:
The driver and/or adult passengers should check for any objects that
may be lodged underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering
with the seat.
If objects are lodged and/or cargo is interfering with the seat; please take
the following steps to remove the obstruction:
•Pull the vehicle over.
•Switch the vehicle off.
•Driver and/or adult passengers should check for any objects lodged
underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the seat.
•Remove the obstruction(s) (if found).
•Restart the vehicle.
•Wait at least two minutes and verify that the airbag readiness lamp is
no longer illuminated
•If the airbag readiness lamp remains illuminated, this may or may/not
be a problem due to the front passenger sensing system.
DO NOT attempt to repair or service the system; take your vehicle
immediately to an authorized dealer.

Note:When the vehicle is in motion, a single press and release of the
start/stop button will not switch off the engine. In order to switch off the
engine of a vehicle while in motion, press and hold the start/stop button
for at least one second.
Note:The indicator light on the start button will illuminate when the
vehicle is in on mode and when the engine is started.
There may be areas inside your vehicle where the IA Key is not
detected. If the messageNo Fob Detectedappears on your message
center when you press the start/stop button, it may be necessary to
move your IA Key to another area within the vehicle. The IA Key may
not be detected near the roof (between the driver or passenger sunvisor
and the roof, or in the overhead console area) or in the extreme corners
of the rear package tray, near your audio speakers. It is not
recommended that you stow the IA Key in these locations. If you move
the IA Key to a location where it has been detected before and you still
see theNo Fob Detectedmessage, your IA Key’s battery may be low or
you may be in an area with excessive radio frequency interference. If
this occurs, you can use the backup method to start your vehicle (see
below).
Backup Method of Starting:Your
Intelligent Access Key uses a radio
frequency signal to communicate
with your vehicle and authorize your
vehicle to start when you press the
start/stop button and apply the
brake pedal. If excessive radio
frequency interference is present in
the area, or if the battery in your IA
Key is low, it may be necessary to
start your car by inserting the IA
Key in the backup slot, located in
your glove box. Insert the IA Key
into the slot with buttons facing out
and with key ring up. After inserting
the IA Key into the backup slot, use
the start/stop button and brake
pedal to start your vehicle as usual.
The vehicle should respond normally
as long as the IA Key is in the
backup slot in the glove box. Once the vehicle is started, the IA key can
be removed from the backup slot, if desired.

ADVANCETRACSTABILITY ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM
WARNING:Vehicle modifications involving braking system,
aftermarket roof racks, suspension, steering system, tire
construction and/or wheel/tire size may change the handling
characteristics of the vehicle and may adversely affect the performance
of the AdvanceTrac
system. In addition, installing any stereo
loudspeakers may interfere with and adversely affect the AdvanceTrac

system. Install any aftermarket stereo loudspeaker as far as possible
from the front center console, the tunnel, and the front seats in order
to minimize the risk of interfering with the Advance Trac sensors.
Reducing the effectiveness of the AdvanceTrac
system could lead to
an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death.
WARNING:Remember that even advanced technology cannot
defy the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a
vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. Aggressive
driving on any road condition can cause you to lose control of your
vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury or property damage.
Activation of the AdvanceTrac
system is an indication that at least
some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road; this
could reduce the operator’s ability to control the vehicle potentially
resulting in a loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death. If your AdvanceTrac
system activates, SLOW DOWN.
WARNING:If a failure has been detected within the
AdvanceTrac
system, thesliding caricon
will illuminate
steadily. Verify that the AdvanceTrac
system is not manually disabled
(push the AdvanceTrac
“Off “ button located on the center of the
instrument panel). If thesliding caricon
still illuminates steadily,
have the system service by an authorized dealer immediately.
Operating your vehicle with AdvanceTrac
disabled could lead to an
increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death.
