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.

Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of
Passive Entry RKE Transmitter In
Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unin-
tentionally locking a Passive Entry
RKE transmitter inside your vehicle,
the Passive Entry system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock fea-
ture which will function if the ignition
switch is in the OFF position.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and
the door panel switch is used to lockthe vehicle, once all open doors have
been closed the vehicle checks the in-
side and outside of the vehicle for any
valid Passive Entry RKE transmitters.
If one of the vehicle's Passive Entry
RKE transmitters is detected inside
the vehicle, and no other valid Passive
Entry RKE transmitters are detected
outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry
System automatically unlocks all ve-
hicle doors and chirps the horn three
times (on the third attempt ALL
doors will lock and the Passive Entry
RKE transmitter can be locked in the
vehicle).
NOTE:
The vehicle will only unlock the
doors when the doors are locked
using the door panel switch, a
valid Passive Entry RKE transmit-
ter is detected inside the vehicle,
and no valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitter is detected outside the
vehicle. The vehicle will not un-
lock the doors when any of the fol-
lowing conditions are true:
The doors are locked using the
RKE transmitter.Grabbing The Driver's Door Handle

Three attempts are made to lock the doors using the door panel
switch and then close the doors.
To Enter The Trunk
With a valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitter within 1.0 m of the deck
lid, press the button on the right side
of CHMSL, (Center High Mounted
Stop Light) which is located on the
deck lid. NOTE:
If you inadvertently leave your ve-
hicle's Passive Entry RKE trans-
mitter in the trunk and try to close
the deck lid, the deck lid will au-
tomatically unlatch, unless an-
other one of the vehicle’s Passive
Entry RKE transmitters is outside
the vehicle and within 1.0 m of the
deck lid.
To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors

Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffet-
ing with the windows down, or the
sunroof (for versions/markets, where
provided) in certain open or partially
open positions. This is a normal oc-
currence and can be minimized. If the
buffeting occurs with the rear win-
dows open, then open the front and

Driver Side Knee Air Bag gas is vented
through small vent holes in the side of
the air bag.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bag (SAB) Inflator Units
The Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags (SAB) are designed to
activate only in certain side collisions.
The ORC determines if a side collision
requires the side air bags to inflate,
based on several factors, including the
severity and type of collision.
Based on several factors, including
the severity and type of collision, the
side air bag inflator on the crash side
of the vehicle may be triggered, re-
leasing a quantity of non-toxic gas.
The inflating SAB exits through the
seat seam into the space between the
occupant and the door. The SAB fully
inflate in about 10 milliseconds. The
side air bag moves at a very high
speed and with such a high force that
it could injure you if you are not
seated properly, or if items are posi-
tioned in the area where the side air
bag inflates. This especially applies to
children.Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)
Inflator Units
During collisions where the impact is
confined to a particular area of the
side of the vehicle, the ORC may de-
ploy the SABIC air bags, depending
on the severity and type of collision. In
these events, the ORC will deploy the
SABIC only on the impact side of the
vehicle.
A quantity of non-toxic gas is gener-
ated to inflate the side curtain air bag.
The inflating side curtain air bag
pushes the outside edge of the head-
liner out of the way and covers the
window. The air bag inflates in about
30 milliseconds (about one-quarter of
the time that it takes to blink your
eyes) with enough force to injure you
if you are not belted and seated prop-
erly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the side curtain air bag
inflates. This especially applies to
children. The side curtain air bag is
only about 9 cm thick when it is in-
flated.
Because air bag sensors estimate de-
celeration over time, vehicle speedand damage are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sen-
sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact events.Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica-
tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the En-
hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine.
Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the igni-
tion key is turned off.
Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has
power, until the ignition key is re-
moved or the ignition switch is
changed to OFF using the Keyless
Go Start/Stop button.
Unlock the doors automatically.

Periodic Safety Checks You
Should Make Outside The
Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear
and uneven wear patterns. Check for
stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread or sidewall. In-
spect the tread for cuts and cracks.
Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks and
bulges. Check the wheel nuts fortightness. Check the tires (including
spare) for proper cold inflation pres-
sure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation
of exterior lights while you work the
controls. Check turn signal and high
beam indicator lights on the instru-
ment panel.
Door Latches
Check for positive closing, latching,
and locking.Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after over-
night parking for fuel, engine coolant,
oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gaso-
line fumes are detected or if fuel,
power steering fluid, or brake fluid
leaks are suspected, the cause should
be located and corrected immediately.

seats and/or passengers. An im-
properly 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 po-
sition) 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 us-
ing the proper restraint system.
DRIVER MEMORY SEAT
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
This feature allows the driver to store
up to two different memory profiles for easy recall through a memory
switch. Each memory profile contains
