WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectileinside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you
are. The child and others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle
should be in a proper restraint for the child’s size.
• Rearward-facing child seats must NEVERbe used in the front seat of a vehicle
with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury
or death to infants in this position.
Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle’s second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren. LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed at all three rear
seating positions.
• Both rear outboard seating positions and the rear center seating position have lower anchors and top tether anchors.
• Child seats with flexible or fixed rigid attachments can be installed in all rear seating positions. Child seats can be installed using the LATCHsystem in either or
both outboard seating positions or the center position, but not all three at the
same time. If a child seat is installed in an outboard seating position using the
lower anchors, then the vehicle seatbelt must be used for the center position.
• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common
lower anchorage.
• The rear seat lower anchorages are roundbars, located at the rear of the seat
cushion where it meets the seatback. They
are just visible when you lean into the rear
seat to install the child restraint. You will
easily feel them if you run your finger
along the intersection of the seatback and
seat cushion surfaces.
• In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located in the panel between the rear seatback and the rear window. These tether
strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.
• Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seat cover material.

The ACC Warning
• The ACC Blinded message will display in the EVIC when conditions temporarily limitthe system performance and the system will be deactivated. The most likely cause
for a deactivated system is a dirty or obstructed sensor, occurring mostly during
snow, fog, heavy rain, or by obstruction from dirt or ice. In these cases, the EVIC
will display “ACC BLINDED.” Examine the sensor (behind the grille, slightly offset
from the center of the grille) which may need simple cleaning, or removal of the
obstruction.
System Maintenance
• Always keep the sensor clean for optimum system performance.
• See your authorized dealer for services if the sensor is damaged.
• Do not attach or install any accessories near the sensor, including transparentmaterial or aftermarket grilles. Doing so could cause an ACC system failure or
malfunction.
• Refer to your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for complete details.

TIRE PRESSURES
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly
and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE: Refer to the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for more information on the life of
tires.
WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents. Under-inflation is
the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component
separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock.
Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your
vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can
fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
