TABLE OF CONTENTS

REMOTE START
• Press the REMOTE START buttonx2on the Key Fob twice within five
seconds. Pressing the REMOTE START button a third time shuts the
engine off.
• To drive the vehicle, press the UNLOCK button, insert the key 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 key is placed in the ON/RUN position.
• The vehicle must be started with the key after two consecutive timeouts.
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and
colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious
injury or death when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away fromchildren. Operation of the
Remote Start System, windows, door locks or other controls could
cause serious injury or death.
THEFT ALARM
To A r m
• Press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the door is open.
To Disarm
• Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button or turn the ignition to the ON/RUNposition.
SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat beltproperly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the
lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A
snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not
wear your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used
together.

WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in acollision. 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 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 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 rearseat, 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 childrestraint anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower
Anchors and Tether for CHildren.
• The rear outboard seating positions have lower anchors and all three rear seating positions have top tether anchors.
• Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the outboard positions only. Child seats with flexible lower attachments can
be used in all three seating positions.
• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a
common lower anchorage.

• Loosen the child seat adjusters onthe 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 tether strap should be attached to the tether anchor on the rear of the seatback using the most direct path. For the outboard seating
positions, route the tether underneath the head rest and attach the hook
to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat.
• Tighten all three straps as youpush 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 fromthe retractor 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.
• 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 using the most direct path. For
the outboard seating positions, route the tether underneath the head
rest and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the
seat.

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.
• 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 air bag. An air bag deployment
could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position.

WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the
seatback is 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.
HEATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The controls for front heated seats are located near the bottom center ofthe instrument panel (below the heater/air conditioning 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 30 minutes. The Low-level setting will
turn Off automatically after approximately 30 minutes.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because ofadvanced 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.
