The emergency key allows for entry
into the vehicle should the battery in
the vehicle or the RKE transmitter go
dead. The emergency key is also for
locking the lower glove compartment.
You can keep the emergency key with
you when valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide
the mechanical latch at the top of the
Key Fob sideways with your thumb
and then pull the key out with your
other hand.
NOTE:
You can insert the double-sided
emergency key into the lock cylin-
der with either side up.Removing Key Fob From Ignition

then remove the Key Fob.
NOTE:
Power window switches will also
remain active for up to 10 minutes
after the ignition switch has been
turned to OFF, depending upon the
accessory delay setting. Opening
either front door will cancel this
feature.
WARNING!
Never leave children alone in a
vehicle. Leaving unattended chil-
dren in a vehicle is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or oth-
ers could be seriously or fatally
injured. Don't leave the keys in
the ignition. A child could 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 serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the Key Fob
from the ignition and lock all doors
when leaving the vehicle unat-
tended.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder
Opening the driver's door when the
Key Fob is in the ignition and the
ignition switch position is OFF or
ACC, a chime will sound to remind
you to remove the key.
NOTE:
The Key-In-Ignition reminder
only sounds when the Key Fob is
placed in the OFF or ACC ignition
position.
If your vehicle is equipped with Key-
less Enter-N-Go, opening the driver’s
door when the vehicle’s ignition
switch is placed in ACC or ON/RUN
(engine stopped) will cause the re-
minder chime to sound. Refer to
“Starting Procedures” in “Starting
And Operating” for further informa-
tion.

ence that may cause undesired op-
eration.
If your RKE transmitter fails to oper-
ate from a normal distance, check for
these two conditions.
1. A weak battery in the RKE trans-
mitter. The expected life of the battery

Gas props support the liftgate in the
open position. However, because the
gas pressure drops with temperature,
it may be necessary to assist the props
when opening the liftgate in cold
weather.
OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle are the re-
straint systems:
Three-point lap and shoulder beltsfor all seating positions
Advanced Front Air Bags for driver and front passenger
Supplemental Active Head Re- straints (AHR) located on top of the
front seats (integrated into the head
restraint)
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat- able Curtains (SABIC) that span
the front, second, and third row
seating for the driver and passen-
gers seated next to a window
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB)
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) include Automatic Lock-
ing Retractors (ALRs), which lock
the seat belt webbing into position
by extending the belt all the way
out and then adjusting the belt to
the desired 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 on ISOFIX, see 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.
Always be sure you and others in
your vehicle are buckled up prop-
erly.
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
