TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 informa-
tion: 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 anchor-
age system 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.
GETTING STARTED
15

• 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 cush-
ion where it meets the seatback. They are
just visible when you lean into the rear
seat to install the child restraint. You will
easily feel them if you run your finger
along the intersection of the seatback
and seat cushion surfaces.
•
In addition, there are tether strap anchor-
ages behind each rear seating position
located in the panel between the rear seat-
back 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 anchorage bars, pushing aside
the seat cover material. 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 anchor-
ages and are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint.
• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly 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.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to
route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the
buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to
retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion
around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt
occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the child
restraint. These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.
• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor
and the child seat.
• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the anchor and remove slack in the
tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside
the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so
great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and
others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in
a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a
front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or death to
infants in this position.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure
of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or killed. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child
seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.

REAR SEAT
Folding Rear Seatback
•
Pull on the loops, located near the outer top
of the seatbacks, to fold down either or
both seatbacks. These loops can be tucked
away when not in use.
•When the seatback is raised to the upright
position, make sure it is latched by strongly
pulling on the top of the seatback above the
seat loop.
WARNING!
• Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position, the seat will not provide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An improperly 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 position) 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 using the proper restraint system.
HEATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The controls for front heated seats are
located on the center instrument panel
below the climate controls.
• Press the switch once to select High-level
heating. Press the switch a second time
to select Low-level heating. Press the
switch a third time to shut the heating
elements Off.
• If the High-level setting is selected, the
system will automatically switch to Low-
level after approximately 60 minutes. The
Low-level setting will turn Off automati-
cally after approximately 45 minutes.
