IGNITION OR ACCESSORY
ON MESSAGE
Opening the driver's door when the
ignition is in ACC or ON (engine not
running), a chime will sound to re-
mind you to cycle the ignition to OFF.
In addition to the chime, the ignition
or accessory on message will display
in the cluster.
NOTE:
With the Uconnect Touch™ sys-
tem, the power window switches,
radio, power sunroof (for versions/
markets, where provided), and
power outlets will remain active
for up to 10 minutes after the igni-
tion is cycled to the OFF position.
Opening either front door will can-
cel this feature. The time for this
feature is programmable. Refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
WARNING!
 When leaving the vehicle, alwaysremove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a
vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle.
 Allowing children to be in a ve-
hicle unattended is dangerous for
a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
 Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave Key-
less Enter-N-Go in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. A child could op-
erate power windows, other con-
trols, or move the vehicle.
 Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the Key Fob
from vehicle, cycle the ignition OFF
and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key® Immobilizer System
prevents unauthorized vehicle opera-
tion by disabling the engine. The sys-
tem does not need to be armed or
activated. Operation is automatic, re-
gardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
The system uses a Key Fob with Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter, a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) and
a RF receiver to prevent unauthorized
vehicle operation. Therefore, only
Key Fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle can be used to start and oper-
ate the vehicle.
After placing the ignition in the ON/
RUN position, the Vehicle Security
Light will turn on for three seconds
for a bulb check. If the light remains
on after the bulb check, it indicates
13

Therefore, make sure the Key Fob is
not inside the vehicle before closing
the door.WARNING!
 For personal security and safetyin the event of an accident, lock
the vehicle doors before you drive
as well as when you park and
leave the vehicle.
 When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a
vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or oth-
ers could be seriously or fatally in-
jured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the shift lever. Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave Key-
less Enter-N-Go in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. A child could op-
erate power windows, other con-
trols, or move the vehicle. POWER DOOR LOCKS
A power door lock switch is on each
front door trim panel. Use this switch
to lock or unlock the doors.
The doors can also be locked and un-
locked with the Keyless Enter-N-Go
(Passive Entry) system. For further
information, refer to “Keyless Enter-
N-Go” in “Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle”.
If you press the power door lock
switch while the ignition is in the ACC
or ON/RUN position, and any front
door is open, the power locks will not
operate. This prevents you from acci-
dentally locking the Key Fob in the
vehicle. Cycling the ignition to the
OFF position or closing the door will
allow the locks to operate. If a door is
open, and the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position, a chime will sound
as a reminder to remove the Key Fob.
Automatic Door Locks (for
versions/markets, where

With the ignition in the ON/RUN po-
sition, the Trunk Open symbol will
display in the instrument cluster indi-
cating that the trunk is open. The
odometer display will reappear once
the trunk is closed.
With the ignition in the OFF position,

TRUNK SAFETY
WARNINGWARNING!Do not allow children to have access to
the trunk, either by climbing into the
trunk from outside, or through the
inside of the vehicle. Always close the
trunk lid when your vehicle is unat-
tended. Once in the trunk, young chil-
dren may not be able to escape, even if
they entered through the rear seat. If
trapped in the trunk, children can die
from suffocation or heat stroke.
TRUNK EMERGENCY
RELEASE
As a security measure, a trunk inter-
nal emergency release lever is built
into the trunk latching mechanism. In
the event of an individual being
locked inside the trunk, the trunk can
be simply opened by pulling on the
glow-in-the-dark handle attached to
the trunk latching mechanism.
OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle are the re-
straint systems:
 Three-point lap and shoulder beltsfor the driver and all passengers
 Advanced Front Air Bags for driver and front passenger
 Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag  Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat-
able Curtains (SABIC) for the
driver and passengers seated next
to a window
 Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
 An energy-absorbing steering col- umn and steering wheel
 Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants (for versions/
markets, where provided)
 Front seat belts incorporate preten- sioners that may enhance occupant
protection by managing occupant
energy during an impact event
 All seat belt systems (except the driver’s and front passenger's) in-
clude Automatic Locking Retrac-
tors (ALRs), which lock the seat
belt webbing into position by ex-
tending the belt all the way out and
then adjusting the belt to the de-
sired length to restrain a child seat
or secure a large item in a seat
If you will be carrying children too
small for adult-sized seat belts, the
seat belts or the ISOFIX feature also
can be used to hold infant and child

restraint systems. For more informa-
tion, refer to ISOFIX — Child Seat
Anchorage System.
NOTE:
The Advanced Front Air Bags have
a multistage inflator design. This
allows the air bag to have different
rates of inflation based on several
factors, including the severity and
type of collision.
Please pay close attention to the infor-
mation in this section. It tells you how
to use your restraint system properly,
to keep you and your passengers as
safe as possible.WARNING!In a collision, you and your passen-
gers can suffer much greater injuries
if you are not properly buckled up.
You can strike the interior of your
vehicle or other passengers, or you
can be thrown out of the vehicle. Al-
ways be sure you and others in your
vehicle are buckled up properly.
Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips.
Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and cause a collision that in-
cludes you. This can happen far away
from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts
save lives, and they can reduce the
seriousness of injuries in a collision.
Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the ve-
hicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility
of ejection and the risk of injury
caused by striking the inside of the
vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle
should be belted at all times.
LAP/SHOULDER BELTS
All seating positions in your vehicle
are equipped with combination lap/
shoulder belts.
The belt webbing retractor is de-
signed to lock during very sudden
stops or impacts. This feature allows
the shoulder part of the belt to move
freely with you under normal condi-
tions. However, in a collision, the beltwill lock and reduce your risk of strik-
ing the inside of the vehicle or being
thrown out.
WARNING!
 It is dangerous to ride in a cargo
area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
 Wearing a seat belt incorrectly is
dangerous. Seat belts are designed
to go around the large bones of
your body. These are the strongest
parts of your body and can take
the forces of a collision best.

As a guide, if you are shorter than
average you will prefer a lower posi-
tion, and if you are taller than average
you will prefer a higher position.
When you release the anchorage try to
move it up and down to make sure
that it is locked in position.
In the rear seat, move toward the cen-
ter of the seat to position the belt away
from your neck.
LAP/SHOULDER BELT
UNTWISTING PROCEDURE
Use the following procedure to un-
twist a twisted lap/shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close as
possible to the anchor point.2. At about 15 to 30 cm above the
latch plate, grasp and twist the belt
webbing 180 degrees to create a fold
that begins immediately above the
latch plate.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over
the folded webbing. The folded web-
bing must enter the slot at the top of
the latch plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up
until it clears the folded webbing.
SEAT BELTS IN
PASSENGER SEATING
POSITIONS
The seat belts in the rear passenger
seating positions are equipped with
Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR)
which are used to secure a child re-
straint system. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Installing Child Re-
straints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt”
under the “Child Restraints” section.
The chart below defines the type of
feature for each seating position.

If the passenger seating position is
equipped with an ALR and is being
used for normal usage:
Only pull the belt webbing out far
enough to comfortably wrap around
the occupant's mid-section so as to
not activate the ALR. If the ALR is
activated, you will hear a ratcheting
sound as the belt retracts. Allow the
webbing to retract completely in this
case and then carefully pull out only
the amount of webbing necessary to
comfortably wrap around the occu-
pant's mid-section. Slide the latch
plate into the buckle until you hear a
"click."

AUTOMATIC LOCKING
RETRACTOR MODE (ALR)
In this mode, the shoulder belt is au-
tomatically pre-locked. The belt will
still retract to remove any slack in the
shoulder belt. The Automatic Locking
Mode is available on all passenger-
seating positions with a combination
lap/shoulder belt. Use the Automatic
Locking Mode anytime a child safety
seat is installed in a seating position
that has a belt with this feature. Chil-
dren 12 years old and under should
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat.
How To Engage The Automatic
Locking Mode
1. Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and
pull downward until the entire belt is
extracted.
3. Allow the belt to retract. As the
belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safety belt is
now in the Automatic Locking Mode.How To Disengage The Automatic
Locking Mode
Unbuckle the combination lap/
shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the Auto-
matic Locking Mode and activate the
vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking
mode.
WARNING!
 The belt and retractor assembly
must be replaced if the seat belt
assembly Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) feature or any other
seat belt function is not working
properly when checked according
to the procedures in the Service
Manual.
 Failure to replace the belt and re-
tractor assembly could increase
the risk of injury in collisions.
SEAT BELT
PRETENSIONERS
The seat belts for both front seating
positions are equipped with preten-
sioning devices that are designed to
remove slack from the seat belt in the
event of a collision. These devices may
improve the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight
about the occupant early in a colli-
sion. Pretensioners work for all size
occupants, including those in child
restraints.
NOTE:
These devices are not a substitute
for proper seat belt placement by
the occupant. The seat belt still
must be worn snugly and posi-
tioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC). Like the air bags, the preten-
sioners are single use items. A de-
ployed pretensioner or a deployed air
bag must be replaced immediately.
ACTIVE HOOD SYSTEM
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Active Hood system is intended to
enhance pedestrian protection by el-
evating the vehicle’s hood upon an
impact with a pedestrian or other ob-
ject. The system is automatically acti-
vated when the vehicle is moving
within a specified vehicle speed range.
In order to detect a range of pedestri-
