Sensing System for
Passenger Airbag
United States
Canada and Mexico
The passenger sensing system will
turn off the right front passenger
frontal airbag and seat-mounted
side impact airbag under certain
conditions. The driver airbags and
roof‐rail airbags are not affected by
the passenger sensing system. The passenger airbag status
indicator will be visible on the
overhead console when the vehicle
is started. See
Passenger Sensing
System on page 3‑39 for more
information.
Mirror Adjustment
Exterior
Controls for the outside power
mirrors are on the driver door. To adjust the mirror:
1. Move the selector switch to
L (left) or R (right) to choose the
driver or passenger mirror.
2. Press the arrows on the control pad to move each mirror to the
desired position.
3. Return the selector switch to the center position.
See Power Mirrors on page 2‑22.
Manual Folding Mirrors
Vehicles with manual fold mirrors
are folded inward toward the vehicle
to prevent damage when going
through an automatic car wash.
Push the mirror outward to return
it to the original position.

Transmission
Driver Shift Control (DSC)
Notice: If you drive the vehicle
at a high rpm without upshifting
while using Driver Shift Control
(DSC), you could damage the
vehicle. Always upshift when
necessary while using DSC.
Driver Shift Control (DSC)
allows you to shift an automatic
transmission similar to a manual
transmission. To use the DSC
feature:
1. Move the shift lever to the left from D (Drive) to
M (Manual Mode).
2. To enter M (Manual Mode), press the shift lever forward (+) to
upshift or rearward (−) to
downshift.
See Manual Mode on page 9‑28.

Rear Vision
Camera (RVC)
If available, the rear vision
camera displays a view of the
area behind the vehicle when the
vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse).
The display will appear on either the
inside rearview mirror or navigation
screen, if equipped.
To clean the camera lens, located
above the license plate, rinse it with
water and wipe it with a soft cloth.
SeeRear Vision Camera (RVC) on
page 9‑43.
Ultrasonic Parking Assist
If available, this feature uses
sensors on the front and rear
bumpers to detect objects while
parking the vehicle. Ultrasonic Front
and Rear Parking Assist (UFRPA)
comes on automatically when the
shift lever is moved into R (Reverse)
and operates at speeds less than
8 km/h (5 mph). UFRPA uses
audible beeps and a display in
the instrument panel to provide
distance and system information.
Keep the sensors on the vehicle's
front and rear bumpers clean to
ensure proper operation. The system can be disabled by
pressing the park assist button
located next to the shift lever.
See
Ultrasonic Parking Assist on
page 9‑40 for more information.
Storage Compartments
The glove box is air conditioned
and can be used to store items at a
lower temperature. Slide the control
across the small hole to adjust the
air flow. See Glove Box on page 4‑1
for more information.

Passenger Sensing
System
The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system for the right front
passenger position. The passenger
airbag status indicator will be visible
on the overhead console when the
vehicle is started.
United States
Canada and MexicoThe words ON and OFF, or the
symbol for on and off, are visible
during the system check. If you
are using remote start, if equipped,
to start the vehicle from a distance,
you may not see the system
check. When the system check is
complete, either the word ON or
OFF, or the symbol for on or off, will
be visible. See
Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator on page 5‑18.
The passenger sensing system
turns off the right front passenger
frontal airbag and seat-mounted
side impact airbag under certain
conditions. The driver airbags and
the roof-rail airbags are not affected
by the passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system
works with sensors that are part
of the right front passenger seat. The sensors are designed to detect
the presence of a properly-seated
occupant and determine if the right
front passenger frontal airbag and
seat‐mounted side impact airbag
should be enabled (may inflate)
or not.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
secured in a rear seat in the correct
child restraint for their weight
and size.
We recommend that children be
secured in a rear seat, including:
an infant or a child riding in a
rear-facing child restraint; a child
riding in a forward-facing child seat;
an older child riding in a booster
seat; and children, who are large
enough, using safety belts.

3-66 Seats and Restraints
6. If the child restraint has a toptether, follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions
regarding the use of the top
tether. See Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) on page 3‑56 for more
information.
7. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. To check,
grasp the child restraint at the
safety belt path and attempt to
move it side to side and back
and forth. When the child
restraint is properly installed,
there should be no more than
2.5 cm (1 in) of movement. To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle safety belt
and let it return to the stowed
position. If the top tether is
attached to a top tether anchor,
disconnect it. If the head restraint
was removed, reinstall it before
the seating position is used.
See
“Head Restraint Removal
and Reinstallation” underLower
Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) on page 3‑56 for
additional information on installing
the head restraint properly.Securing Child Restraints
(Front Passenger Seat)
This vehicle has airbags. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure
a forward-facing child restraint.
See Where to Put the Restraint on
page 3‑53.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the right front
passenger frontal airbag under
certain conditions. See Passenger
Sensing System on page 3‑39 and
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
on page 5‑18 for more information,
including important safety
information.
A label on the 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.

Instruments and Controls 5-19
Charging System Light
The charging system light comes on
briefly when the ignition is turned
on, but the engine is not running, as
a check to show the light is working.
The light turns off when the engine
is started. If it does not, have the
vehicle serviced by your dealer.If the light stays on, or comes
on while driving, there may be a
problem with the electrical charging
system. Have it checked by your
dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery.
When this light comes on, the
Driver Information Center (DIC)
also displays a message.
See
Battery Voltage and Charging
Messages on page 5‑33.
If a short distance must be driven
with the light on, be sure to turn off
all accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.
Malfunction
Indicator Lamp
A computer system called OBD II
(On-Board Diagnostics-Second
Generation) monitors operation
of the fuel, ignition, and emission
control systems. It ensures that
emissions are at acceptable levels
for the life of the vehicle, helping to
produce a cleaner environment.
This light should come on when the
ignition is on, but the engine is not
running, as a check to show it is
working. If it does not, have the
vehicle serviced by your dealer.
