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

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.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt
Anchorage
In the front seats and the second row
outboard seats, the shoulder belt an-
chorage can be adjusted upward or
downward to help position the belt
away from your neck. The upper an-
chorage can be adjusted upward by
pushing anywhere on the anchorage.
To move the anchorage downward,
squeeze the actuation buttons while
simultaneously pushing down on the
anchorage assembly.
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 or down to make sure
that it is locked in position.SEAT BELTS IN
PASSENGER SEATING
POSITIONS
The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with Auto-
matic 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.
Driver Center Passen-
ger
First
Row N/A N/A ALR
Second Row ALR N/A ALR
Third Row ALR Cinch ALR
N/A — Not Applicable
ALR — Automatic Locking Retrac- tor
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.
38
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 assemblymust 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.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
FEATURE
This vehicle has a safety belt system
with an energy management feature
in the front seating positions to help
further reduce the risk of injury in the
event of a head-on collision. This
safety belt system has a retractor as-
sembly that is designed to release
webbing in a controlled manner. This
feature is designed to help reduce the
belt force acting on the occupant’s
chest.
WARNING!
The belt and retractor assembly must be replaced if the seat belt
assembly “automatic locking re-
tractor” feature or any other seat
belt function is not working prop-
erly 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.
39
WARNING!
Your vehicle is equipped with leftand right Supplemental Side Air
Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC),
do not stack luggage or other
cargo up high enough to block the
location of the SABIC. The area
where the SABIC is located should
remain free from any obstruc-
tions.
Do not use accessory seat covers
or place objects between you and
the side air bags; the performance
could be adversely affected
and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
Knee Impact Bolsters (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Knee Impact Bolsters help pro-
tect the knees of the driver and the
front passenger, and position front oc-
cupants for the best interaction with
the Advanced Front Air Bags. Along with seat belts and pretension-
ers, Advanced Front Air Bags work
with the knee bolsters to provide im-
proved protection for the driver and
front passenger. Side air bags also
work with seat belts to improve occu-
pant protection.
Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm
from a deploying air bag:
Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in a
rear seat.
WARNING!
Infants in rear-facing child re-
straints should never ride in the
front seat of a vehicle with a passen-
ger Advanced Front Air Bag. An air
bag deployment can cause severe in-
jury or death to infants in that posi-
tion.
Children that are not big enough to
wear the vehicle seat belt properly
(see Section on Child Restraints)
should be secured in the rear seat in
child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats. Older children who do not use child restraints or belt-
positioning booster seats should ride
properly buckled up in the rear seat.
Never allow children to slide the
shoulder belt behind them or under
their arm.
You should read the instructions pro-
vided with your child restraint to
make sure that you are using it prop-
erly.
All occupants should always wear
their lap and shoulder belts properly.
The driver and front passenger seats
should be moved back as far as prac-
tical to allow the Advanced Front Air
Bags room to inflate.
Do not lean against the door or win-
dow. If your vehicle has side air bags,
and deployment occurs, the side air
bags will inflate forcefully into the
space between you and the door.
If the air bag system in this vehicle
needs to be modified to accommodate
a disabled person, contact the Cus-
tomer Center.
