CAUTION!
• If your vehicle battery becomes low or dead, your Key Fob will become locked
in the ignition.
• Do not attempt to remove the Key Fob while in this condition, damage could
occur to the Key Fob or ignition module. Only remove the emergency key for
locking and unlocking the doors.
• Leave the Key Fob in the ignition and either:
• Jump Start the vehicle.
• Charge the battery.
• Contact your dealer for assistance on how to remove the Key Fob using
the manual over ride method.
WARNING!
• Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be severely injured or killed. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal, or the shift lever. Do
not leave the Key Fob inside the vehicle or in the ignition. A child could start
the vehicle, operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather.
Interior heat build-up may cause them to be severely injured or killed.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or
death.
• Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous exhaust gases into your
vehicle. You and your passengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep the
flipper glass closed when you are operating the vehicle.
REMOTE START
• Press the REMOTE START buttonx2twice within five seconds. Pressing the
REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off.
• To drive the vehicle, with a valid Keyless Enter-N-Go Key Fob within 5 ft (1.5m) of
the driver's side of the vehicle, grab the front driver door handle to unlock the
driver's door automatically, then press the Start/Stop switch. Or press the UNLOCK
button, insert the Key Fob in the ignition and turn to the ON/RUN position.
• With remote start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
• The vehicle must be started with the Key Fob after two consecutive timeouts.
GETTING STARTED

• If the Airbag 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 airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some
collisions, the airbags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even
though you have airbags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced
Front Airbag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Airbags
need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the
steering wheel or instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental
Seat-Mounted Side Airbags 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 Airbag Inflatable Curtain and/or
Seat-Mounted Side Airbag during deployment could cause you to be severely
injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the airbags have deployed. If you are involved
in another collision, the airbags 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 restraint
anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren.
• Second and third row seating positions have lower anchorages that are capable of
accommodating LATCH-compatible child seats having flexible, webbing-mounted
lower attachments.
• Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the outboard
positions only.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the
retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the seat
belt 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.
• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure the
top tether strap. The tether strap should be attached to the tether anchor on the
rear of the seatback (behind the gap panel) using the most direct path.DO NOT USE
the cargo tie down loops located on the load floor.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a
projectile 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.
• 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.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle
with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause infants in
this position to be severely injured or killed.
FRONT SEATS
Power Seats
• The power recline switch, located on
the outboard side of the seat, controls
seatback adjustment.
• The power seat switch controls
forward/back, up/down and tilt
adjustment.
GETTING STARTED

POWER SUNROOF
Manual Open/Close
• Press and hold the switch rearward to open or forward to close the sunroof. Any
release of the switch will stop the movement, and the sunroof will remain in a
partially open or closed position until the switch is pressed again.
Pinch Protection Feature
• This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof or the shade
during Express Close operation. If an obstruction in the path of the sunroof or
shade is detected, the sunroof or shade will automatically return to the open
position.
NOTE:Pinch protection is disabled while the switch is pressed and held during manual
opening and closing of the sunroof or shade.
WARNING!
• Never leave children in a vehicle with the key in the ignition switch.
Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by the
power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch. Such entrapment
may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an
open sunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your
seat belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
