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, ifavailable. 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.
• 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.
• The vehicle's seat belt must be used for the center position.
• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common lower anchorage.

Manual - Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column
• The tilt/telescoping control handle islocated below the steering wheel at the
end of the steering column.
• Push the handle down to unlock the steering column.
• To tilt the steering column, move the steering wheel upward or downward as
desired. To lengthen or shorten the
steering column, pull the steering
wheel outward or push it inward as
desired.
• Pull up on the handle to lock the column firmly in place.
Power - Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column
• The power tilt/telescoping steering control is located below the turn

WARNING!
• Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. The tilt/telescopingadjustment must be locked while driving. Adjusting the steering wheel while
driving or driving without the tilt/telescoping adjustment locked could cause
the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may
result in you and others being severely injured or killed.
• Moving the steering column while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Without a stable steering column, you could lose control of the vehicle and
have a collision. Adjust the column only while the vehicle is stopped.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
• A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmissionand axle) in your vehicle.
• Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
• While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
• The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated
climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. For the
recommended viscosity and quality grades, refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle”.
NOTE: A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles
(kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and
not interpreted as an indication of difficulty.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage
may result.
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
Automatic Headlights/Parking
Lights/Headlights
• Rotate the headlight switch, located on the instrument panel to the left of the
steering wheel, to the first detent for
parking lights
andtothe
second detent for headlights.
• With the parking lights or low beam headlights on, push the headlight
switch once for fog lights.
• Rotate the headlight switch to “AUTO” for AUTO headlights.
• When set to AUTO, the system automatically turns the headlights on
or off based on ambient light levels.
SmartBeams™
• This system automatically controls the use of the headlight high beams. Refer toProgrammable Features in Electronics for further details.

SPEED CONTROL
• The speed control switches are locatedon the steering wheel.
NOTE: The MODE button and DISTANCE
SETTING button are only available on
vehicles equipped with Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC).
Cruise ON/OFF
• Push the ON/OFF button to activate the Speed Control.
• CRUISE READY
will appear on
the instrument cluster to indicate the
Speed Control is on.
• Push the ON/OFF button a second time to turn the system off.
Set
• With the Speed Control on, push and release the SET – button to set a desiredspeed.
Accel/Decel
• Once a speed is set, pushing the RES + button once or the SET – button once willincrease or decrease the set speed approximately 1 mph (2 km/h).
Resume
• To resume a previously selected set speed in memory, push the RES + button andrelease.
Cancel
• Push the CANCEL button, or apply the brakes to cancel the set speed andmaintain the set speed memory.
• Push the ON/OFF button to turn the system off and erase the set speed memory.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive cruise control the controls operate exactly the same as the standard cruise control with one difference. You can set a
specified distance you would like to maintain between you and the vehicle in front
of you.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or acceleration automatically to maintain a preset following distance, while matching
the speed of the vehicle ahead.
• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle directly ahead of you, it functions like a standard cruise control system, maintaining the speed you set.
