TABLE OF CONTENTS

• If the Air Bag Warning Lightis not on during starting, stays on, or turns on
while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center
immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some
collisions, the air bags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even
though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air
bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to
reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the
door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely
injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be
prosecuted for ignoring it.
Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraintanchorage 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.
GETTING STARTED
14

• Child seats with flexible or fixed rigid attachments can be installed in all rearseating 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 areround bars, 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 child seat 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 anchorage bars, pushing aside the seat cover material. The rear seat lower anchorages are round bars,
located at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback. The rear seat
lower anchors can be readily identified by the symbol
located on the seatback
directly above the anchorages and are just visible when you lean into the rear seat
to install the child restraint.
• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restrain and attach the tether strap to the anchorage, being
careful to route the tether strap to provide the most direct path between the anchor
and the child restrain.
• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from theretractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch
plate into the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap
portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint. These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.
GETTING STARTED
15

• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between theanchor and the child seat.
• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become aprojectile inside 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 severely injured or killed.
Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child's
size.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause infants in
this position to be severely injured or killed.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or
killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant
or child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the
child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
FRONT SEATS
Power Seats
• The power seat switches are located onthe outboard side of the front seat
cushions.
• The seat switch, controls forward/backward and up/down.
GETTING STARTED
16

WARNING!
• Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatbackis not securely locked into position, the seat will not provide the proper
stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could
cause serious injury.
• The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks in the locked-up or folded-down position) should not be used as a play area by
children when the vehicle is in motion. They could be seriously injured in a
collision. Children should be seated and using the proper restraint system.
HEATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The controls for front heated seats arelocated on the center instrument panel
below the climate controls.
• Press the switch once to select High-level heating. Press the switch a
second time to select Low-level
heating. Press the switch a third time
to shut the heating elements Off.
• If the High-level setting is selected, the system will automatically switch to Low-level after approximately 60 minutes. The Low-level setting will turn Off
automatically after approximately 45 minutes.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use,
exhaustion or other physical conditions must exercise care when using the
seat heater. It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a
seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased
surface temperature of the seat.
