SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in the lapportion, 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.
• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not buckled
up properly. 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
properly.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) —
AIR BAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in
every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on several factors, including the severity and
type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear,
side, or rollover collisions.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains to protect the driver, front and rear passengers sitting next to a window.

• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags to provide enhancedprotection to help protect an occupant during a side impact.
• This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag to provide enhanced protection and work together with the Driver Advanced Front Air Bag during a frontal impact.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light
is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving,
have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. 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 and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags 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 and/or Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bag 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 rear seat, 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.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEAT-CHECK (1–866–732–8243).
• Canadian residents, should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional information http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm.

Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchoragesystem called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren. LATCH
child restraint anchorage systems are installed at all three rear seating positions.
• Both rear outboard seating positions and the rear center seating position have lower anchors and top tether anchors.
• Child seats with flexible or fixed rigid attachments can be installed in all rear seating positions. Child seats can be installed using the LATCH system in either or both outboard seating
positions or the center position, but not all three at the same time. If a child seat is installed in
an outboard seating position using the lower anchors, then the vehicle seatbelt must be used
for the center position.
• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common lower
anchorage.
•
The rear seat lower anchorages are round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion where it
meets the seatback. The rear seat lower anchors can be readily identified by the symbol
located on the seatback directly above the anchorages and are just visible when you lean into the
rear seat to install the child restraint.
• In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located in the panel between the rear seatback and the rear window. These tether strap anchorages are under
a plastic cover.
• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the 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 seat cover material.
• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover di- rectly behind the seat where you are placing
the child restraint and attach the tether strap
to the anchorage, being careful to route the
tether strap to provide the most direct path
between the anchor and the child restraint.
•
Tighten all three straps as you push the child
restraint rearward and downward into the seat.
• For center seating position route the tether strap over the seatback and adjustable
headrest (with the headrest in the full down
position) then attach the hook to the tether
anchor located in the panel between the rear
seatback and the rear window.

etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
• The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone.
• The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the radio to notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.
• Refer to your owner's manual on the DVD for further details.

WARNING!
• Never leave children unattended in a vehicle, and do not leave the key in the ignition switch (or leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC
or ON/Run position). Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become en-
trapped by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch. Such entrapment
may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof.
You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt properly and make
sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other body
parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury may result.
WIND BUFFETING
• Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting occurswith the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
• If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any window. This will minimize buffeting.
